"The Story of Haiti is one of resistance, of a spirit that exists inside us all, to assert our essential humanity. Unfortunately the story is also one of how much the rich and powerful feel threatened by this spirit and how far they are prepared to go to crush it. While Canadians prefer to see their government as a force for good in the world, the reality is that it most often sides with the rich and powerful. Canada in Haiti is a powerful cry for justice and a warning about what can be done in our name when we aren't looking. Book jacket."--Jacket
