The world’s first independent black republic, Haiti was forged in the fire of history’s only successful slave revolution, a rebellion that defeated France, at the time one of the world’s great powers. More than two hundred years later, the promise of the revolution – a free country and a free people – remains unfulfilled. Home for over a decade to one of the largest UN peacekeeping forces, Haiti’s tumultuous political culture, buffeted by coups and armed political partisans, combined with economic inequality and environmental degradation, created immense difficulties even before a devastating earthquake levelled Port-au-Prince in 21, killing tens of thousands of people. This grim tale, however, is not the whole story. In this moving and detailed history, Michael Deibert, who has spent two decades reporting on Haiti, chronicles the heroic struggles of Haitians to build a decent country in the face of overwhelming odds. Based on years of interviews with Haitian political leaders, international diplomats, peasant advocates, gang leaders, and hundreds of ordinary Haitians, Deibert’s book provides a vivid, complex, and challenging analysis of Haiti’s recent history, overturning the myths about this so often misunderstood country.
