The world's first independent black republic, Haiti was forged in
the fire of history's only successful slave revolution. Yet more
than two hundred years later, the full promise of that revolution -
a free country and a free people - remains unfulfilled. Home for
more than a decade to one of the world's largest UN peacekeeping
forces, Haiti's tumultuous political culture - buffeted by coups
and armed political partisans - combined with economic inequality
and environmental degradation to create immense difficulties even
before the devastating 2010 earthquake killed 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 their longed-for country in the face of
overwhelming odds. Based on hundreds of interviews with Haitian
political leaders, international diplomats, peasant advocates and
gang leaders, as well as ordinary Haitians, Deibert's book provides
a vivid, complex and challenging analysis of Haiti's recent
history.
