Events in Haiti often proceed in such a rush, with such highs and lows, that it is sometimes difficult to perceive their general direction. At the end of a dizzying and dangerous road to democracy, an election-day massacre suddenly looms like a terrifying rockbloack. The author takes us into the world of the poor, where hope struggles to be born in the midst of horror. His book, written for his friends in Central and Latin America, is meant also for us, 'the cold country to the north,' whose shadow has fallen so fatefully over Haiti's dismal history.
