   Extractions: Haiti Haitian rural society is predominately made up of subsistence farmers who rent or own a small plot of land and cultivate beans, sweet potatoes and other crops using labor-intensive technology such as picks and hoes. Most families live in small one- or two-bedroom homes without electricity or running water and rely on charcoal as the principle energy source. The load is lightened a bit by communal work teams called kombits , music, and pastimes like Krik Krak, an oral game of riddles. But make no mistake - Haiti is hard living and the poverty is more harsh than quaint. Perhaps the country's celebrated sense of humor is requisite for survival. Many young people hoping to escape the cycle of rural poverty move to Port-au-Prince or Cap Ha¯tien, and most end up living in shantytowns like Cit© Soleil, where 200,000 people occupy 5 sq km (2 sq mi) of reclaimed swampland. An almost total lack of civilian infrastructure is as obvious as the open sewage ditches and as invisible as the dearth of accountable police maintaining some semblance of law and order. In the cool hills above the slums, however, the mainly mulatto 1% of Haiti that controls 44% of the country's wealth live in the gated communities of P©tionville, where fine restaurants and glittering shopping centers cater to a very different side of Haitian society. There are deep and bitter divisions between blacks (about 95% of the population) and mulattos (about 5%). While blacks have always had an overwhelming majority, mulattos have had advantages within education, government and the military. Most mulattos speak French, the language of higher education and most job opportunities, while the vast majority of Haitians speak Creole. This two-tiered social system is perhaps the greatest barrier to Haiti coming into its own as a stable and successful Caribbean nation.

   Extractions: Country Info Haiti Introduction Haiti General Data Haiti Maps Haiti Culture ... Haiti Time and Date Haiti Culture Back to Top Haiti is a dramatic country in its terrain, history, and culture. In comparison with other countries in the Caribbean, Haiti is described in superlatives: it is the most rural in its settlement pattern, the poorest, and the most densely populated. It is also the only country in the region that was born of a successful slave rebellion, and it is the first modern black republic. The weight of the past bore heavily on the daily lives of all Haitians in the 1980s. The country's legacy of slavery and French colonization had left a lasting imprint on the culture. In the past, members of the upper class cherished Franco-Haitian culture because the French language and manners separated them from the masses whom they wished to rule. At the same time, former slaves created a peasant culture, but always in the shadow of their urban superiors. Haiti's dual cultural heritage resulted in negative attitudes toward Haitian peasant life, particularly toward the Creole language, traditional marriages, and voodoo, the folk religion. The recent emergence of a middle class has only exacerbated the debate over what should be considered "true" Haiti.

13. J. Michael Dash: Culture And Customs Of Haiti
    CULTURE AND CUSTOMS OF HAITI. J. Michael Dash Westport, Conn. Greenwood Press,2001. 156 pages ISBN 0313-30498-X. Comments by Bob Corbett January 2002.  
    http://www.webster.edu/~corbetre/haiti/bookreviews/dash-culture.htm
    
    Extractions: January 2002 J. Michael Dash's book is one of the best overviews of Haiti today I have ever read, and the next time I teach a course on Haiti this will be a central text. Dash's treatment comes in 8 chapters. First is a chapter called "context" in which he lays out the basic history of Haiti. Next he deals with the people and society, emphasizing the dominant class and color split which has dominated Haiti in all periods save the revolution of 1791-1803 and the U.S. occupation of 1915-1934. In those two periods Haitians pulled together putting aside the dominant class and color issues to enter into unity in which nation and race became the central rallying value allowing them to resist outsiders. In chapters 3 through 8 he tackles such central issues as: religion, social customs, mass media and cinema, literature and language, the performing arts and finally a marvelous chapter on the visual arts and architecture. In the literature and language chapter Dash gives a clear and fascinating overview of the literary history of Haiti, but says only a few words on language. Similarly, in the last chapter he gives one an essential outline of the dominant schools of art from the 1930s on, but shuffles architecture to a few concluding paragraphs. I doubt it deserves more.

It is a country of almost eleven thousand square miles with a population of about seven million people. The population consists about 95% African descent and 5% mulatto and European descent. The majority of people, about 80% are Catholic, 16% Protestant (an estimated 50% of Haitians also practice voodoo). Unfortunately, Haiti has the lowest standard of living in the Western Hemisphere. This is due in large measure to the political instability of the country. This has resulted in a brain drain as well an economic drain from the country. This in turn has led to foreign governments issuing warnings to their citizens, about the potential dangers of traveling in the major cities like Port-au-Prince, Cap Haitien and the northwestern province. The major industries in the country are sugar refining, cement, textiles and tourism.
