Haiti: A Broken Nation

A grave, luminous meditation on Haiti’s fate, this work follows the arc from the triumph of independence to the long erosion of sovereignty, livelihood, and hope. It shows how unjust debt, predatory politics, broken land systems, rural abandonment, failed reforms, and foreign dependence hollowed a nation once born in fire. Yet beyond economics and state collapse, it probes a deeper wound: the estrangement between elites and peasants, city and countryside, official power and Vodou, memory and identity. Unsparing yet compassionate, the book is not merely an account of ruin, but a powerful reflection on dignity, cultural truth, and the fragile, unfinished possibility of national renewal.
