Abstract

In 2003, Haitian president Jean-Betrand Aristide publicly called for France to pay reparations to Haiti—and less than a year later, was whisked away from the island via U.S. military aircraft. Steve Cushion sheds light on the colonial and neocolonial relationships that have imposed crushing debt on Haiti and its people, and their continuing implications for Haiti's development.
