Title
Haiti: State Against Nation (Critical Social Thought)
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In The Euphoria That Followed The Departure Of Haiti'S Hated Dictator, Jeanclaude Duvalier, Most Haitian And Foreign Analysts Treated The Regimes Of The Two Duvaliers, Father And Son, As A Historical Nightmare Created By The Malevolent Minds Of The Leaders And Their Supporters. Yet The Crisis, Economic And Political, That Faces This Small Caribbean Nation Did Not Begin With The Dictatorship, And Is Far From Being Solved, Despite Its Departure From The Scene. In This Fascinating Study, Haitianborn Michelrolph Trouillot Examines The Mechanisms Through Which The Duvaliers Ruthlessly Won And Then Held Onto Power For Twentynine Years. Trouillot'S Theoretical Discussion Focuses On The Contradictory Nature Of The Peripheral State, Analyzing Its Relative Autonomy As A Manifestation Of The Growing Disjuncture Between State And Nation. He Discusses In Detail Two Key Characteristics Of Such Regimes: The Need For A Rhetoric Of National Unity Coupled With Unbridled Violence. At The Same Time, He Traces The Current Crisis From Its Roots In The Nineteenthcentury Marginalization Of The Peasantry Through The U.S. Occupation From 1915 To 1934 And Into The Present. He Ends With A Discussion Of The Postduvalier Period, Which, Far From Seeing The Restoration Of Civilianled Democracy, Has Been A Period Of Increasing Violence And Economic Decline.
