About this book

Examining the political legacies of the Duvalier period and after, and revisiting the work of the late David Nicholls, Politics and Power in Haiti provides some of the keys to understanding the turbulent world of Haitian politics and the persistent challenges at home and from abroad which have distorted development.

Reviews

'This volume brings together fascinating contributions from internationally recognized scholars on Haitian politics and history, presenting important historical and international analysis which will be of relevance for a long time to come.' - Amanda Sives, University of Liverpool, UK

'Specialists and general readers alike will find in Politics and Power in Haiti a valuable ally in their efforts to disentangle the disconcerting web of tribalism, race hatred and class warfare that makes up political life in Haiti today.' - Andrew Leak, University College London, UK

"This is an extraordinary collection. Together, the contributions illustrate how Haiti is much like other countries in Latin America and the Caribbean, a colonized nation struggling to establish its identity (African, French, and Caribbean) and to reach stability against the legacy of colonialism (violence, escapism, color, and class). This book is a must for students of the region who wish to understand how Haiti's historical, spiritual, and cultural life bears on its social, economic, and political reality." - Tony Payan, James A Baker III Institute for Public Policy, Rice University, USA
