26091: Dailey: (reply) re: Rossier #26068 (fwd)
From: Peter Dailey <phdailey@msn.com>
Mr. Rossier,
I would be glad to oblige. If you are curious about Haiti's political culture
and dynamic a good starting point would be Michel-Rolph Trouillot's Haiti,
State against Nation: The Origins and Legacy of Duvalierism and Robert Fatton's
Haiti's Predatory Republic: The Unending Transition to Democracy. For
Aristide's background as a seminarian and the influence on him of Liberation
Theology consult any of his autobiographical writings. That Aristide's
presidency was corrupt and authoritarian is not an accusation but a simple
fact. If you have not managed to recognize this for yourself then I have no
wish to disabuse you.
