For many years, friends and acquaintances have reacted to my devotion to Haiti with the question, What is it that you love about Haiti? I have no satisfactory response other than to describe a country where art is joy.

The first Black republic and the richest Caribbean country in the early 19th century has suffered an endless chain of political and natural disasters: Toussaint Louverture's imprisonment and death in a French prison; France's imposition of reparations to secure Haiti's independence; the U.S. military occupation during the first quarter of the 20th century; Trujillo's massacre of sugarcane workers; the Duvalier family dictatorships from 1957 to 1986, major earthquakes, and the condemnation of the country by the current U.S. president. The Haiti we knew is no longer. Today the country is overrun by rapacious gangs that have no respect for its people or the rule of law, and it seems to have been forgotten by the international community.
