Description

“Haitians aren’t ‘boat people’ as they are incessantly termed in the US,” noted Frantz Michel. They are warriors—heroes who survived terrible times like the Middle Passage, centuries of mistreatment, humiliation and depravation. They have excelled against all odds, at all times resilient and make the unattainable sound futile. Yet, the country is still in need for greater help as situations worsen each day. Can God Save Haiti? uncompromisingly challenges toughest issues that Haiti is facing now. In this chef d’oeuvre, Michel poses disturbing questions that will make Haitians and the International community look in the mirror and ask why Haiti, despite all the money said to enter the country, yet the people are in more dire need than they were before. Why poverty levels continue to escalate? Why millions continue to suffer? Michel is aware that Haiti needs a paradigm shift, a change that drove him to connect the historical dots that have brought the nation to this junction. Can God Save Haiti? is not about scapegoating any country or anyone for the misfortunes of Haiti—despite the fact that former US President Clinton apologized for destroying the production of rice of Haiti which is the very diet of the Haitian people. Before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, speaking of the destruction of the food production in Haiti, he admitted: “It’s not that i am pointing the finger at anybody. I did that. I have to live each day with the consequences of the lost capacity to produce a rice crop in Haiti to feed those people, on account of what I did. Nobody else… So we genuinely thought we were helping Haiti when we restored President Aristide, made a commitment to help rebuild the infrastructure through the Army Corps of Engineers there, and do numerous other things. And we made this devil’s bargain on rice. And it wasn’t’ the right thing to do…” This book is a call to action not assigning blame—an attempt to raise a global sense of right and wrong for a better and sustainable Haiti. Can God Save Haiti? demands that we reverse our self-defeating attitudes and behaviors. Provocative and puissant, Can God Save Haiti? dares to expose the turpitudes of Haiti and other NATIONS so that the country can be restored.
