BOB CORBETT'S FAVORITES OF HIS OWN WRITINGS

This Haiti web page has many many things I've written about Haiti over the past 25 or more years. The various essays are scattered among serveral topics and directories. Some are in relatively obscure areas of the web page, so I have selected some the essays I am most satisfied by, or at least was at the time I wrote them. Now, often many years after I wrote them, even I have some quarrels with some claims, but in the main, I stand by what I have written in earlier times.

Corbett selects the essays he's written that he likes best

• Why is Haiti So Poor?
  The essay is one of the earliest I wrote about Haiti, first publishing it in 1986. I think, today, I might change a bit here or there, but in the main I still think this essay is essentially accurate.
