<p> In 1804 Haiti became the world’s first independent Black republic following a slave revolution. Two hundred years later, ravaged by colonialism and corrupt elites, it was placed under a UN military occupation. </p> <p> <em>Haiti’s New Dictatorship</em> is the history of the past seven years, from the 2004 coup against Aristide to the devastating 2010 earthquake,revealing a shocking story of abuse and neglect by international forces. Justin Podur reveals the reality of a supposedly benign international occupation, arguing that the denial of sovereignty is the fundamental cause of Haiti’s problems. </p> <p> A powerful challenge and wake-up call to the international NGO and development community, <em>Haiti’s New Dictatorship</em> is essential reading for anyone concerned with justice in the global south and progressive development policies. </p>
