subject: Something I Said -- Review of Mahmoud El-Kati's "Haiti: The Hidden Truth" [print this page] Haiti: The Hidden Truth does a fine job of illustrating that just as has been the case all over the world whenever people of color catch hell from the White man, it is not through the any such thing as White supremacy, the timeless delusion of supremacy actually is a matter of ruthless and treacherous domination by means much closer to crass, xenophobiccowardice than anything else.
As a bonus of sorts, there's a mini-primer, 10 Good Things To Know About Haiti, 8 of which cite noteworthy names in history. For instance, it points out that legendary dancer Katherine Dunham (who also was an anthropologist) incorporated aspects of Haitian culture in her choreography. And that W.E.B. DuBois, a founder of the NAACP and the first son of Africa to earn a Ph D from Harvard, was the son of a Haitian.
As entertaining as it is informative (as scholarly achievement doesn't have to be boring to teach something worthwhile), Haiti: The Hidden Truth is an excellent addition to your library and a perfect conversation piece to leave laying around on your coffee table.
