Book Overview
In a prescient remark made at the turn of the century, US Secretary of State Elihu Root said that establishing the right sort of relations with Haiti must await the psychological moment. Indeed, as Brenda Gayle Plummer notes, much of the Haitian-US relationship has turned on matters of perception. For many in the United States, tales of voodoo, political violence, and stark deprivation have made Haiti appear to be a doomed land, beyond comprehension and help. Haitians, meanwhile, have often seen the United States as persistently racist, grossly materialist, and lacking in spiritual values.
