North American Congress on Latin America (NACLA), Haiti: Dangerous Crossroads (South End Press, 256 pp.; $35, hardcover, $15, paper, 1995) Public events give place names new overtones that can seem to override previous, private meanings. For my first 27 years, for example, Waco was merely the town my grandfather came from. Now the name evokes an unhappy recent history, and I'm tacitly asked to take a side. So too with Haiti. I have spent time in that unhappy country, respect particular Haitian people for particular reasons, know the country's language and vivid smells and sounds. The now pervasive presumption that politics should trump my own experience both baffles and angers me; I'm not on anybody's side, thank you very much. The meaning of "Haiti" has become a battleground. Some months ago a friend sent me a flier for a new book from South End Press. Haiti: Dangerous Crossroads was, I was told, "a succinct history and up-to-date analysis of the tragic betrayal of Haitian democracy" that explained "why attempts to 'restore democracy' in Haiti seem doomed to failure. In part," claimed the flier

http://uncpress.unc.edu/books/T-4661.html

Extractions: The U.S. invasion of Haiti in July 1915 marked the start of a military occupation that lasted for nineteen yearsand fed an American fascination with Haiti that flourished even longer. Exploring the cultural dimensions of U.S. contact with Haiti during the occupation and its aftermath, Mary Renda shows that what Americans thought and wrote about Haiti during those years contributed in crucial and unexpected ways to an emerging culture of U.S. imperialism. At the heart of this emerging culture, Renda argues, was American paternalism, which saw Haitians as wards of the United States. She explores the ways in which diverse Americansincluding activists, intellectuals, artists, missionaries, marines, and politiciansresponded to paternalist constructs, shaping new versions of American culture along the way. Her analysis draws on a rich record of U.S. discourses on Haiti, including the writings of policymakers; the diaries, letters, songs, and memoirs of marines stationed in Haiti; and literary works by such writers as Eugene O'Neill, James Weldon Johnson, Langston Hughes, and Zora Neale Hurston.

Vodoun Culture: Ayibobo - Welcome!
What Is. vodoun culture So much so that in haiti, the use of the word vodoun (or voodoo, vaudou, vodu etc.) is a sign of alienation.
http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Delphi/5319/whatis.htm

Extractions: What Is Vodoun is the heritage of the ancient africans nations that were exiled in the new world. Its ways have been born throughout the darkest times by our forefathers in order to teach us how to live today and tomorrow. Vodoun is more than one thing, it is medecine, justice, police, it is art, dance, music as well as religious ritual. It is the common ground upon which we, the children of the african new world diaspora, stand together. It is perfectly ordinary to be Vodoun without being religious as one can be jewish and agnostic. So much so that in Haiti, the use of the word vodoun (or voodoo, vaudou, vodu etc.) is a sign of alienation. My ambition is to show the breadth and diversity of our vodoun soul. Not an easy task away from the cool shade of a mango tree in a warm caribbean afternoon. We will start with the obvious, the rituals. Be aware that in Haiti alone there are many ways to celebrate the invisible, and what I present doesn't pretend to universality. Let us start with the basics, with Bondjé, Lésen, Lézanj we will get through this. CONTENTS LWAS SONGS DANCES ... HOME Vodoun Culture http://www.vodoun.com

Extractions: Second Kiba Kreyol Festival in Havana Ban Rrarra Desandann Haiti in Cuba Haiti has a strong presence in Cuba, dating back to the late 1790's after the Haitian revolution, when many French moved to Cuba and took the kidnapped Africans with them. From this wave we get the Tumba Francesa and the Haitian roots music in Cuba. Haitian tradition contains a strong strain of Dahomey and Congo, both of which are present in Cuba. Haitian Rada is Cuban Arara, the Dahomey tradition. More recently, Cuba is perhaps the only country to have welcomed so many Haitians fleeing the persecution of the Generals and their savage regime. There are reportedly over 300,000 recent arrivals in Cuba. And Creole, which is still spoken by descendants of the earlier waves, is Cuba's second language, with a Creole radio station in Havana. There are a number of Haitian roots groups playing in Cuba, including Ban Rrarra and Desandann Today, Cuba has several viable Haitian cultural organizations, includin

Ze Western Hemisphere ees so horrible, but thank goodness zat Haiti remains an oasis of cultural refinement and political stability, said M. Chirac. And look at ze wonderful benefits that French culture has given to Haiti. An average life expectancy of 28, a gross domestic product of $1.32, and an advanced health care system that has produced the least overweight population in ze world outside of Zimbabwe. Ze Americans cannot even begin to compare with Haiti. In related news, Haitian opposition leader Jean-Louis Weedwhacquere of the Alliance Contre Rationalisme, said at a press conference today that if his party is victorious in the next election he will outlaw the use of electricity, which he claims is a symbol of Anglo-Saxon oppression and cultural chauvinism.

Extractions: 5 Janvye, 2005 Vol. 22 No. 43 Haiti: Déjà vu by Brian Concannon Jr. January marks the beginning of Carnaval season in Haiti - every Sunday afternoon the bandes-à-pied (literally, bands-on-foot) and their followers take to town and city streets, strutting their stuff in preparation for les trois jours gras - the three fat days - of celebrating before Ash Wednesday. The bandes-à-pied are eventually joined by better-financed bands on chars - trailers piled high with loudspeakers - and by dancers dressed as Indians, actors poking fun at politicians and Chaloska - usually men, with savage-looking masks, snarling at the young and the timid in the crowd. Chaloska comes from General Charles-Oscar Etienne, Port-au-Prince's police chief in the first half of 1915. Etienne's boss, President Vilbrun Guillaume Sam, seized power in February of that year, pursuant to negotiations with the U.S. and after paramilitary groups had chased his predecessor from power. Lacking electoral or constitutional legitimacy, President Sam procured an insurance policy for his rule: starting in March he rounded up potential political opponents or their family members, and packed at least 200 of them - from Haiti's most privileged families - into the Penitencier National. They were held not by court order - there were no arrest warrants, no evidence in their files or trips to see the judge. They were held by a Presidential directive that Charles Oscar Etienne should kill the political prisoners when he heard the first shot fired against the Sam regime.
