Just the title of this op-ed piece in Sunday's NYTimes struck me as a fabulous re-thinking of the standard narrative of Haiti's modern "failures." I wasn't at all surprised to see that it was written by Laurent DuBois, the pre-eminent scholar of the Haitian Revolution (you'll see his name a few times in our course bibliographies). Another related article on the "rural road to recovery."
