Hardcover first edition - A book by the award winning author of "In a Rainy Season," one which "traces the country's history from its slave plantations through its turbulent revolutionary history, its kick-up-the-dirt guerrilla movements, its totalitarian dynasty that ruled for decades, and its long and always troubled relationship with the United States. Yet through a history of hardship shines Haiti's creative culture, its African traditions, its French inheritance, and its uncanny resilience."
