"In Haiti Haitii?" Jean-Bertrand Aristide combines the artistry of
Swahili with the poetic incisiveness of his native Kreyol to
produce an eloquent, resounding negation to colonialism and
slavery, as well as an emphatic affirmation of freedom, liberty,
equality, and fraternity. Aristide writes in poetry, prose,
proverbs, and aphorisms to tell the epic story of the life and
freedom affirming spirit of Haiti, the world s first independent
Black republic. He chronicles slavery through a recitation of the
brutality of the colonisers and the often mundane and trivial ways
in which they attempted to dehumanize Haitians, positioning the
reader in the place of the human beings who were at the receiving
end of such inhumanity. Aristide eloquently illustrates how
Haitians 300-year journey to freedom was illuminated by the African
philosophy of Ubuntu, a world view that embodies human solidarity,
respect, dignity, justice, liberty, and love. In this philosophy,
Africans found an unmatched strength to resist slavery. Today, he
writes, it is this same philosophy that can empower a new
generation of Africans worldwide to resist neo-colonialism. "
