48. Taking Haiti: Military Occupation And The Culture Of U.S. Imperialism, 1915-1940
    As Carl Van Doren predicted in 1929, narratives about haiti and haitian culture tooktheir place in the literature of empire that helped to produce that reality  
    http://www.ibiblio.org/uncpress/chapters/renda_taking.html
    
    Extractions: An occupation is, in one sense, a temporary arm of the state created to carry out a series of specific tasks. In this case, those tasks were to bring about political stability in Haiti, to secure U.S. control over Haiti with regard to U.S. strategic interests in the Caribbean, and to integrate Haiti more effectively into the international capitalist economy. Of course, supporters of the occupation, and those responsible for it, proposed that these goals would also bring about specific gains for Haiti. They pointed, for example, to the work of the Navy Medical Corps and to the construction of roads, bridges, buildings, and telephone systems under the marines' supervision.[4] With these changes, U.S. policy makers indeed sought to create an infrastructure to serve as the foundation for economic development and modernization. They also professed the hope that on this basis a new Haitian democracy would flourish. On the ground, cross-cultural dynamics complicated Washington's script for the occupation. Some members of the Haitian elite initially cooperated with the U.S. military, even viewing their presence as potentially helpful, but other Haitians, long suspicious of foreign powers and of government in general, were less eager to play their parts. Many Haitians adopted a watchful stance in relation to the invading

    Extractions: The majority of the population still resides in rural areas and depends on agriculture for their livelihood. The land that is available however, is often unsuitable for agriculture due to poor soil quality and loss of topsoil. At least 30 percent of the land being farmed is located on slopes that need to be protected from erosion or on land that would be better used as pasture-land, for tree planting, or left fallow. The land available per person is steadily decreasing due to population growth. People work on land that has been divided and redivided from generation to generation with little left for each family to farm. Many of the young emigrate from the rural areas to the larger towns and cities, causing these areas to grow rapidly.

54. Kathie Klarreich, New Recognition Of Vodou's Role In Haitian Culture
    Vodou is so entwined in haiti's culture that it is practically impossibleto separate the two, say supporters. Traditional haitian  
    http://www.hartford-hwp.com/archives/43a/352.html
    
    Extractions: Documents menu PORT-AU-PRINCE, HAITI - A young man, forlorn about his love life, stands in his shorts in front of the cross of Bawon Samdi, who in Vodou tradition heads the family of spirits of the cemetery. A Vodou priest, using herbal mixtures and chicken feathers, performs a ritual to cleanse the man's body and spirit. When the service is complete, the young man changes clothes, pays the priest, and heads home. For many in the West and in upper Haitian society, voodoo, or Vodou, evokes a Hollywood stereotype of black magic and dolls stuck with pins. But for Vodou supporters, what was once an underground practice dating back to slave days is finally being acknowledged as a bona fide religion and recognized for its role in defining Haitian culture. Vodou, which has no written scriptural text, is an amalgam of the mixed African, native, and Anglo-Saxon cultures of colonial Haiti. The Roman Catholic and Protestant churches in Haiti have a long history of trying to discourage Vodou, seeing aspects of the faith as incompatible with their basic tenets. These include the worship of many spiritual beings, or lwa; a belief in possession; the use spells and incantations for good and, in some cases, for evil; and the use of animal sacrifices for some ceremonies.

    Extractions: T he streets are rubble, hand-chipped from quarry rock by breaking men, grateful for jobs no matter how laborious. The smell, or stench, rather, is rotten and dusty, a bit salty from the sea. Garbage, chickens and the black tarp roofs of the makeshift huts inhabitants call home along the streets make for an interesting, moving mosaic of the Third World. This is a different realm. The decision to travel there was spontaneous and instantly seemed to sit well in my soul. It was on the way home from a weekend working at a homeless shelter that going to Haiti was mentioned. Phil, my new youth pastor, was a man of refreshing intensity and the will to push us from the comfort and idleness of ignorance into uncomfortable new growth territory. The trip Phil planned would take him into an orphanage in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. I was anxious to accompany this man I so respected to a world I had never seen.

56. Corbett: Simplicity, Haiti And Culture Shock
    culture Shock and haiti. Bob Corbett 1987. I've been thinking someabout the cultural shock that comes from returning from haiti.  
    http://www.webster.edu/~corbetre/philosophy/simple/shock.html
    
    Extractions: I've been thinking some about the cultural shock that comes from returning from Haiti . I keep hearing this from many people in our groups and others too. But, I haven't heard anyone do much reflecting on exactly what's going on, what's valuable in this experience, what's merely some romantic urge for OTHERNESS . So, I thought I'd begin the process. Your comments and thoughts would be appreciated. I often feel a sort of vague and general dis-ease when I return from Haiti. I have named it a dislike of American culture, or a cultural re-entry shock. But these labels explain little, and the first seems simply false. I have lived and continue to live in the United States and I am much too happy a person to continue on in this happiness if I'm truly living in a culture I dislike. What's going on here? The central difference between life as we encounter it and work with it in Haiti and our lives in the United States has to do with basic survival. Life in Haiti, in the circles of our work and primary concern is basic survival. People struggle for daily food, they scrounge for potable water, they hunt for the basic health care to stay alive, they search for shelter from the rains, bugs, rats or beating sun. They struggle to find part-time work on a daily basis. They are underclothed, underfed, undersheltered and undertended. On the other hand, most of us from the middle and upper classes not only have all of these things but we take them for granted, view them as sort of birth right. Our struggles are for growth, security, personal pleasure, entertainment, enrichment, culture etc.
