    Extractions: MARY A. RENDA: Taking Haiti: Military Occupation and the Culture of U.S. Imperialism 1915-1940. Chapel Hill and London: The University of North Carolina Press, 2001. Mary Renda’s book about the United States occupation of Haiti between 1915 and 1934 addresses two different questions: how US culture was used in the justification of the occupation and how military presence in Haiti contributed to the transformation of culture in the US between 1920 and 1940. It is not a history of the occupation, nor does it purport to explain the causes or effects of it, although enough background is provided to make the book accessible to non-specialists on Haiti. For those wanting to learn about Haiti, the most interesting part of the book is the one dealing with the occupation itself. Renda’s analysis enhances our understanding of such conspicuous facts as the use of violence and the racism expressed by the marines when dealing with the local population. The (yet unproven) thesis has sometimes been advanced that a majority of the soldiers in the occupation force are likely to have been Southerners, who “knew” how to deal with blacks. Renda has an alternative explanation: paternalism. Underlying the perceptions and actions of the marines was the belief that Haitians were not capable of forging their own destinies but needed guidance from a more advanced nation.

    Extractions: Home Student Work Cultural Affairs Makandal: A Troupe Finds Joy in Haiti, Despite Current Events By Adelia Harrison For most Americans, Haiti evokes images of poverty, violence and AIDS, as well as the idea that the country can't manage its own affairs. Non-Haitians and Haitian-Americans alike are steeped in pop-culture portrayals of voodooa religion still practiced by some Haitiansas black magic, human sacrifice, zombies and dolls stuck with pins. But La Troupe Makandal, a Haitian drum and dance troupe based in New York's borough of Brooklyn, portrays Haitians as a courageous, talented and deeply spiritual people, united by a common will to freedom. As it ventures to combat stereotypes, Makandal also seeks to remind Haitian-Americans of their history in Haiti and roots in Africa. Makandal consists of six dancers and six musicians. Included are both Haitians and non-Haitians; amateurs and professionals. Potential members learn of the group through word of mouth, or through drum or dance classes. In spring and fall the troupe, which performs throughout New York State, has a packed performance and lecture schedule. A month ago, in honor of Haiti's 200th birthday, the group released its third CD, "Prepare" (the title has the same meaning and pronunciation in both Haitian Creole and English). The company teaches children's classes in Brooklyn and is artist-in-residence at the Hunter College Department of Music. "In the center of the chaos is still the essence of Haiti, and that's where you'll find the dance," says troupe member Natalie Pardo, 41, a first-generation Haitian-American who grew up in Chicago. She adds, "Haiti's tagline should not be that it's the poorest country in the world. The tagline should be that it was the first country to stand against oppression and free itself." It wasn't until Pardo moved to New York, in 1999, that she had the chance to explore her cultural roots. "My DNA is very connected with the drums," she says. "Maybe the ancestors inside of me were dancers."

    Extractions: General Information Although Haiti averages about 290 people per square kilometer (748 per sq. mi.). Its population is concentrated most heavily in urban areas, coastal plains, and valleys. About 95% of Haitians are of African descent. The rest of the population is mostly of mixed Caucasian-African ancestry. A few are of European or Levantine heritage. About two-thirds of the population live in rural areas. The dominant religion is Roman Catholicism. Increasing numbers of Haitians have converted to Protestantism through the work of missionaries active throughout the country. Much of the population also practices voudou (voodoo), recognized by the government as a religion in April 2003. Haitians tend to see no conflict in these African-rooted beliefs coexisting with Christian faith. Although public education is free, the cost is still quite high for Haitian families who must pay for uniforms, textbooks, supplies, and other inputs. Due to weak state provision of education services, private and parochial schools account for approximately 90% of primary schools, and only 65% of primary school-aged children are actually enrolled. At the secondary level, the figure drops to around 20%. Less than 35% of those who enter will complete primary school. Though Haitians place a high value on education, few can afford to send their children to secondary school and primary school enrollment is dropping due to economic factors. Remittances sent by Haitians living abroad are important in paying educational costs.

     Extractions: General Information The Spaniards used the island of Hispaniola (of which Haiti is the western part and the Dominican Republic the eastern) as a launching point from which to explore the rest of the Western Hemisphere. French buccaneers later used the western third of the island as a point from which to harass English and Spanish ships. In 1697, Spain ceded the western third of Hispaniola to France. As piracy was gradually suppressed, some French adventurers became planters, making Saint Domingue, as the French portion of the island was known, the "pearl of the Antilles"one of the richest colonies in the 18th century French empire. During this period, African slaves were brought to work on sugarcane and coffee plantations. In 1791, the slave population revoltedled by Toussaint L'Ouverture, Jean Jacques Dessalines, and Henri Christopheand gained control of the northern part of the French colony, waging a war of attrition against the French. By January 1804, local forces defeated an army sent by Napoleon Bonaparte, established independence from France, and renamed the area Haiti. The impending defeat of the French in Haiti is widely credited with contributing to Napoleon's decision to sell the Louisiana territory to the United States in 1803. Haiti is the world's oldest black republic and the second-oldest republic in the Western Hemisphere, after the United States. Although Haiti actively assisted the independence movements of many Latin American countries, the independent nation of former slaves was excluded from the hemisphere's first regional meeting of independent nations, in Panama in 1826, and did not receive U.S. diplomatic recognition until 1862.
