Description

References to the land of the ""black Jacobins"" are almost always followed by the phrase ""the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere”.

To that distinction, on 12 January 2010, Haiti added another, when it was hit by a devastating natural disaster, a 7.0 Richter scale earthquake.

Since 2004, the United Nations has been in Haiti through MINUSTAH in an ambitious attempt to help Haiti raise itself by its bootstraps.

This effort has now acquired additional urgency. Is Haiti a failed state? Does it deserve a Marshall to planlike programme? What will it take-address the Haitian predicament? In this book, some of the world’s leading experts on Haiti examine the challenges faced by the first black republic, the tasks undertaken by the United Nations, and the new role of hemispheric players like Argentina, Brazil and Chile, as well as that of Canada, France and the United States.
