Michael Dash (Professor of Francophone Literature and Director of Africana Studies, New York University) ABSTRACT In this lecture, J. Michael Dash explores Haiti’s symbolic destiny, in an effort to “free” Haiti from being relegated symbolically to the margins of world history. He argues for an understanding of the Haitian Revolution as both a foundational moment in modern universalist thought and a point of origin for postcolonial Caribbean societies, one which privileges global interaction and transcends ethnocentric models of nation, race, and identity. In the spirited question period, also captured here, the circumstances of former President Aristide’s recent departure from office, the complexities of internal Haitian politics, and the regional and international context are debated.

Make Money Haiti HISTORY The Spaniards used Hispaniola (of which Haiti is the western part and the Dominican Republic is the eastern) as a launching point to explore the rest of the Western Hemisphere. French buccaneers later used the western third of the island as a point from which to harass English and Spanish ships. In 1697, Spain ceded the western third of Hispaniola to France. As piracy was gradually suppressed, some French adventurers became planters, making Saint-Domingueas the French portion of the island was then calledone of the richest colonies of the 18th century French empire. During this period, African slaves were brought to work the sugarcane and coffee plantations. In 1791, the slave populationled by Toussaint L'Ouverture, Jean Jacques Dessalines, and Henri Christopherevolted and gained control of the northern part of Saint-Domingue. In 1804, local forces defeated an army deployed by Napoleon Bonaparte, established independence from France, and renamed the area Haiti. The defeat of the French in Haiti is widely credited with contributing to Napoleon's decision to sell the Louisiana territory to the United States in 1804. Haiti is the world's oldest black republic and the second-oldest republic after the United States in the Western Hemisphere. Haitians actively assisted the American Revolution and independence movements of Latin American countries. Two separate regimes (north and south) emerged after independence but were unified in 1820. Two years later, Haiti conquered Santo Domingo, the eastern, Spanish-speaking portion of Hispaniola. In 1844, however, Santo Domingo broke away from Haiti and became the Dominican Republic. With 22 changes of government from 1843 until 1915, Haiti experienced numerous periods of intense political and economic disorder, prompting United States military intervention in 1915. U.S. military forces were withdrawn in 1934 at the request of the elected Government of Haiti.

They were there from 1915-34, and in 1994, each time, ostensibly, to quell anarchy and establish democratic rule. But the real story has never been that simple, or that noble. In fact, James Weldon Johnson's 1920 exposé for The Nation, "Self-Determining Haiti" argued that the US really has been quite ignoble. The damning assessment, printed below, was remarkable from such a temperate aristocrat. James Weldon Johnson was born in Florida in 1871 to cultured, assimilationist parents. By 1920, Johnson had already been an attorney, an educator and a diplomat. He had co-written "Lift Ev'ry Voice and Sing," now known as the Black National Anthem, and had written Autobiography of an Ex-Colored Man, published in 1912. Johnson visited Haiti just as he became the first black executive secretary in the struggling National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, naively believing that the NAACP could be a model for Haitian political organization. He died in 1938, still hoping to see Haiti rise. Instead, as scholar Brenda Gayle Plummer has written, "Haiti prefigured the modern Latin American experience and provides a classic example of how national aspirations... were derailed." — Kim Pearson

Haiti occupies the western third of the island named Hispaniola ("Little Spain") by Christopher Columbus, who landed there on his first voyage in 1492. Within a generation the original inhabitants, the Taino (Arawak) Indians, were nearly exterminated by Spanish colonizers, who then began importing slaves from West and Central Africa. In 1697 the French acquired the western third of the island of Hispaniola, and for the next century African labor made it the most prosperous colony in all the world. The prime source of wealth was sugar, but coffee, cotton and indigo brought riches as well. In the course of a century, the slave population swelled from a few thousand to nearly half a million. Though the island was ruled by the whip, acts of rebellion began to grow more frequent. The first act of the revolution, according to Haitian tradition, was a Vodou ceremony held by runaway slaves in 1791. In 1804 Haiti became the first nation after the USA to gain independence in the Americas when, after 13 years of fighting, the rebels drove the French out of the country. It was the only slave revolt in history ever to create a nation. The Taino Indians had called the island "Ayiti" meaning "Land of the Mountains," and so it was renamed after the revolution. 'Dessalines Ripping the White from the Flag' by Madsen Mompremier High mountains and the surrounding sea give Haiti its distinctive features. The sea was the highway first for slavery, and then more recently for escape, as thousands of "boatpeople" fled political and economic oppression in small crafts. 200 years ago, abundantly forested mountains hid runaway slaves called Maroons. Today the mountains shelter small villages and farms for corn and coffee. But they are no longer lush, as the woods are being transformed into bags of charcoal, the only fuel source for people flooding the cities.

'Santa Marta with Hot Snake Spirit on their Mountain' by Pierrot Barra 'Ogou on his Charger' by Hector Hyppolite Vodou is Haiti's mirror. Its arts and rituals reflect the difficult, brilliant history of seven million people, whose ancestors were brought from Africa to the Caribbean in bondage. In 1791 these Africans began the only successful national slave revolt in history. In 1804 they succeeded in creating the world's first Black republic: the only one in this hemisphere where all the citizens were free. Their success inspired admiration, fear and scorn in the wider world. Cut off from Euro-American support, Haitians managed to created their own dynamic "Creole" society-one rooted in Africa but responsive to all that was encountered in their new island home. Vodou is the Creole religion. Like the Haitian people, Vodou spirits came from Africa, and they have been profoundly affected by slavery and hard won freedom. To honor and serve these spirits, Haitians create ceremonial art based on African models and influenced by Catholic, Masonic and other spiritual traditions. The sacred arts of Vodou are the outstanding achievement of a great people and their incomparable gift to the world. However, Vodou is more than a religion—it is a way of life which has inspired Haitian artists in many different media. After the Second World War, the work of Haitian artists came to the attention of foreign dealers and collectors who spoke of a "Haitian Renaissance". Two of the most celebrated artists of this generation, painter Hector Hyppolite and sculptor Georges Liautaud, were featured in

In arable areas, however, there are about five times more people than the average. Some 66 percent of the population lives in rural areas. Haitian Creole and French are the official languages. Creole is spoken by all Haitians and, with French, is used in drama, music, radio, television, politics, and religion. But written Creole is not widely accepted because the school system retains French as the main language of instruction. Creole is normally used in daily life, and French—mastered by perhaps 10 percent of the people—is used in more formal circumstances. Most of the vocabulary of Haitian Creole is derived from French, but its syntax is similar to that of some African languages and resembles the syntax of other creole languages of the Caribbean and the Indian Ocean.

Hinche - History H inche is located in Hispaniola, modern Haiti. Christopher Columbus sighted this island on Dec. 6, 1492 on his first journey to the West Indies, leaving a few men there to make a settlement before he moved on to Cuba. By the end of the 16 th century, most of the island's original Arawak Indian population had disappeared from conquest or warfare or by being worked to death or killed by disease.

Port au Prince - History First discovered by Columbus and colonised in the 17th century by the French, Haiti gained independence in 1804 (seceding from the neighbouring Dominican Republic) after a 12-year uprising by African-descended slaves. During the rest of the 19th century, Haiti was under the control of a succession of dictators, none of whom had the wherewithal to resolve the conflict between the mulattos, who held political power, and the negroes. America took control early in the 20th century, sending troops in at one stage to support the regime. After 30 years as a US protectorate, Haiti returned to indigenous rule. Elections in 1957 brought to power Dr Francis Duvalier, a country physician, who presided over one of the world's most authoritarian regimes. With the help of a private militia known as the Tontons Macoutes (the Creole phrase for 'bogeymen'), political dissent was systematically eradicated and opponents jailed or murdered. The traditional Voodoo religion was widely abused in order to intimidate critics. Duvalier (commonly known as 'Papa Doc') died in 1971, handing the leadership over to his son Jean Claude ('Baby Doc') who ruled the country for the next 15 years in the same manner as his father. Half-hearted efforts - such as the elections in which all opposition candidates were arrested on polling day - were made to present a more acceptable face to the outside world, primarily in order to secure foreign aid. Despite the constant attentions of the Tontons, political opposition continued to grow, crucially within the army; in the spring of 1986 these elements finally turned against the regime and forced Duvalier's flight from the country. A succession of military governments followed before Haiti started the transition to civilian rule.

75. Windows On Haiti: Wisdom And Beauty In Haitian Vodou Essay by Dr. MarieJose Alcide Saint-Lot, a scholar of Haitian popular culture with graduate degrees from Brooklyn College and CUNY. This paper first presented at the American Museum of Natural history in New York. http://haitiforever.com/windowsonhaiti/w98501.shtml

Marie-José Alcide Saint-Lot, Ph.D. This essay was read to an Educational Panel on Spirits in the Celluloid: Haiti, Hollywood, and the Mass Media, at the American Museum of Natural History, New York City, Nov. 15, 1998, for the Exhibit of the Sacred Arts of Haitian Vodou Dr. Marie-José Alcide Saint-Lot is a scholar of Haitian popular culture. She holds an MFA in Theater from Brooklyn College and a Ph.D. from the Graduate School of Theater at CUNY. Wisdom and Beauty in Haitian Vodou The spiritual splendor we are plunged into through this fascinating exhibit defies and calls into question the sordid and negative image imprinted on Haiti’s traditional religion. The compelling feeling of ecstasy, piety, of profound communion with the beyond which pervades these masterpieces not only lifts the mind and vibrates the soul, but also suggests that such marvelous inspiration could not have come from a destructive power. What then explains the hostility towards Vodou? The plight of Vodou in Haiti originates from the socio- economic conditions created by the colonizers to enrich themselves at the expense and to the detriment of the Negro slaves. As you know, political supremacy works hand in hand with cultural and spiritual supremacy. So, to insure their power, impose their values and establish their so-called superiority, the European rulers, from the 16th to the 19th century, made it their goal to strip the Blacks of their identity, of their humanity, undermine the African image and destroy African culture. Vodou as the religion of the slaves, the element of cohesion among them and their base of resistance, became a major target and suffered endless persecution. This persistent harassment had an impact which never totally disappeared. No wonder the media have been led to misrepresent Vodou as evil, barbaric, criminal.

Katherine Dunham Says “I'm 94 Years Old and Cruising to Haiti!” We are delighted to announce that the legendary Katherine Dunham, the Grande Dame of African American dance, has agreed to be the Honorary Chairperson of the International Black Arts and Cultural Festival that will feature performances, workshops and films on board the ship for Cruising Into History. Click photo for Katherine's bio No one better epitomizes the goal of building strong relationships between African Americans and Haitians than Ms. Dunham, who perfected her extraordinary and highly emulated dance technique in Haiti and Cuba. Ms. Dunham credits her total “emersion” in the culture, religion, rituals and dance of Haiti for her success. An anthropologist by training, Ms. Dunham earned a Rosenwald Fellowship at the University of Chicago in the 1930's where she specialized in West Indian Culture. During the Depression years, like many other artists, she utilized the resources of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) to advance her career. She formed her own dance company and never looked back. She was soon in demand on Broadway as a performer and choreographer. “Cabin in the Sky” (1941), “Stormy Weather” (1943) and “Casbah” (1948) are among the more notable productions choreographed by Ms. Dunham in the ‘40s. Julie Belafonte, Eartha Kitt, Talley Beatty, Janet Collins and Dr. Glory Ann Scott are just a few of the extraordinary artists who studied under Ms. Dunham during her long, distinguished and continuing career.
