Haiti: Political Failures, Cultural Successes (Politics in Latin America)

This detailed volume presents and analyzes the two worlds of Haiti: one, the rural masses from whom have emerged an original and vibrant culture, and two, the urban-based elites who have saddled the land with an immobile political order unwilling to tackle the enormous economic and social problems the country has faced from independence in 1804 to the present day.Brian Weinstein is the author of 'Haiti: Political Failures, Cultural Successes (Politics in Latin America)', published 1984 under ISBN 9780275912918 and ISBN 0275912914.
