But the Haitian people have yet to unshackle themselves from their country’s history of devasting poverty and endemic corruption. This program situates the Haitian Revolution within the context of the 18th century revolutions for liberty and explores how history and the legacy of empire limited the fruits of revolution that could be realized in Haiti.
