Description:

A collection of insightful and well documented essays from 23 contributors present facts, contexts and perspectives (beyond the report media) to understand Haiti, its proud people and to participate in the environnemental, political and social transformations that are needed. Haitians have defeated Napoleon and abolish slavery in 1803. The retrenchment of the Napoleon’s army from Saint-Domingue led to the Louisiana Purchase deal which changed for ever the lanscape of America. As Haiti commemorates in 2004 the bicentenial of its greatest accomplishment it needs energized friends to harvest not debt but a brighter future. Once the source of wealth for France, Haiti is now an economically depressed country with a population surviving misery with courage and spirit. We as citizen of the US have our share of the responsability and should learn what we have done to this land and its people in order to collaborate in the effort to build its future.
