Unveiling the Untold Truth About Haiti

It is often said that to know Haiti is to love her, and getting to know Haiti is a process that must be undertaken with intention. Through this book, Dr. McCollum has invited readers to set aside pre-existing notions shaped by decades of news reports and headlines that can be recalled from memory, and to approach this wonderfully and rich complex place with open mindedness, curiosity, and respect. In doing so, one comes away with a deep appreciation for not just Haiti's history and culture, but also its significant role in shaping the modern world, and valuable lessons it can continue to share with all who cares to listen. This book is not merely a compilation of historical facts and dates, nor is it a collection of ready made solutions.Rather, it is an invitation from someone who has taken the time to get to know Haiti, and would like others to do the same.
