Why have multiple U.S. efforts to create a stable democracy in Haiti failed so spectacularly? Philippe Girard answers these and other questions, examining how colonialism and slavery have left a legacy of racial tension, both within Haiti and internationally; Haitians remain deeply suspicious of white foriegners' motives, many of whom doubt Hatians' ability to govern themselves. He also examines how Haiti's current political instability is merely a continuation of political strife that began during the War of Independence (1791-1804). Finally, in Haiti: The Tumultuous History, Girard explores poverty's devastating impact on contemporary Haiti and argues that Haitians--particularly home-grown dictators--bear a big share of the responsibility for their nation's troubles.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51683616162080,"sku":"NEW0230106617","price":11.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/91fMkpHCE_L.jpg?v=1779366901","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/haiti-the-tumultuous-history-from-pearl-of-the-caribbean-to-broken-nation-the-tumultuous-history-from-pearl-of-the-caribbean-to-broken-nation-0230106617","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
