Yet more than two hundred years later, the full promise of that revolution - a free country and a free people - remains unfulfilled. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eHome for more than a decade to one of the world's largest UN peacekeeping forces, Haiti's tumultuous political culture - buffeted by coups and armed political partisans - combined with economic inequality and environmental degradation to create immense difficulties even before the devastating 2010 earthquake killed tens of thousands of people. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis grim tale, however, is not the whole story. In this moving and detailed history, Michael Deibert, who has spent two decades reporting on Haiti, chronicles the heroic struggles of Haitians to build their longed-for country in the face of overwhelming odds. Based on hundreds of interviews with Haitian political leaders, international diplomats, peasant advocates and gang leaders, as well as ordinary Haitians, Deibert's book provides a vivid, complex and challenging analysis of Haiti's recent history.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Deibert\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 178360798X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781783607983\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Zed Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 488\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 1.20d","brand":"Michael Deibert","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43979671470335,"sku":"9781783607983","price":35.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_93c07f43-c9f3-45fc-aa45-fa0b9fbbf005.jpg?v=1683246452","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/haiti-will-not-perish-michael-deibert-9781783607983","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
