   Extractions: Oprah Book Club® Selection, May 1998: "I come from a place where breath, eyes and memory are one, a place from which you carry your past like the hair on your head. Where women return to their children as butterflies or as tears in the eyes of the statues that their daughters pray to." The place is Haiti and the speaker is Sophie, the heroine of Edwidge Danticat's novel, "Breath, Eyes, Memory." Like her protagonist, Danticat is also Haitian; like her, she was raised in Haiti by an aunt until she came to the United States at age 12. Indeed, in her short stories, Danticat has often drawn on her background to fund her fiction, and she continues to do so in her debut novel.

   Extractions: Country Info Haiti Introduction Haiti General Data Haiti Maps Haiti Culture ... Haiti Time and Date Haiti Culture Back to Top Haiti is a dramatic nation in its terrain, history, and culture. In comparison with other countries in the Caribbean, Haiti is described in superlatives: it is the most rural in its settlement pattern, the poorest, and the most densely populated. It is also the only nation in the region that was born of a successful slave rebellion, and it is the first modern black republic. The weight of the past bore heavily on the daily lives of all Haitians in the 1980s. The nation's legacy of slavery and French colonization had left a lasting imprint on the culture. In the past, members of the upper class cherished Franco-Haitian culture because the French language and manners separated them from the masses whom they wished to rule. At the same time, former slaves created a peasant culture, but always in the shadow of their urban superiors. Haiti's dual cultural heritage resulted in negative attitudes toward Haitian peasant life, particularly toward the Creole language, orthodox marriages, and voodoo, the folk religion. The recent emergence of a middle class has only exacerbated the debate over what should be considered "true" Haiti.

    Extractions: Il existait, à cette époque, d'autres associations haïtiennes au travers desquelles militaient des concitoyens engagés dans la lutte contre le pouvoir d'alors. Cette action politique, bien qu'approuvée par la communauté, empêchait l'adhésion ouverte de nombreux compatriotes qui craignaient des représailles à l'encontre de leur famille restée au pays. La question fut donc posée de créer une association axée essentiellement sur la promotion de la culture et par conséquent, susceptible de rallier le plus grand nombre. De cette réflexion, naquit: Haïti Culture Haïti Culture est donc le fruit de la volonté de quelques membres de la communauté haïtienne de Genève, de créer une structure associative capable de rassembler, par delà les clivages politiques et confessionnels, l'ensemble des Haïtiens residant en Suisse. Cette vision d'union et de rassemblement constitue le but essentiel de l'association. Depuis dix sept ans, Haïti Culture poursuit deux objectifs statutaires; faire connaître les us et coutumes du peuple haïtien par des manifestations culturelles et récréatives, soutenir des actions de solidarité en faveur de la population défavorisée d'Haïti et porter assistance aux compatriotes en difficulté sur le territoire helvétique.

    Extractions: Our Culture Map of Haiti Haiti National Palace Flag of Haiti or Haiti's Flag Haiti's coat of arms Haitian constitution Listen to the National Anthem HAITI FORMALLY RENOUNCED its colonial bond with France in January 1804, as the result of the only successful slave rebellion in world history. The country's longevity as an independent nation in the Western Hemisphere is second only to that of the United States. Over this span of almost two centuries, however, the country has never known a period free of tyranny, repression, political conflict, racial animosity, and economic hardship. Haiti, the first black republic in modern times, sprang directly to self-governance from French colonialism, a system that had a profound impact on the nation. Haiti's colonial origins had demonstrated that an illiterate and impoverished majority could be ruled by a repressive elite. The slaveholding system had established the efficacy of violence and coercion in controlling others, and the racial prejudice inherent in the colonial system survived under the black republic. A lightskinned elite assumed a disproportionate share of political and economic power. The chaotic and personalistic nature of Haitian political culture combined with chronic underdevelopment to provide fertile ground for a succession of despots, strongmen, and dictators. Even the few national leaders whose election apparently reflected popular sentiment, such as Dumarsais Estimé (1946-50) and François Duvalier (1957-71), rejected constitutional procedures in favor of retaining personal power. The popular revolt that deposed President for life Jean-Claude Duvalier (1971-86) demonstrated the Haitian people's rejection of parasitic despotism. At the same time, however, the revolt reaffirmed another lesson of Haitian history: violence has often been the only effective route to change.
