The ideological position of P騁ion\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003erepresents the neoliberal views of the mulatto\/Arab elites and petit-bourgeois blacks; and nationalism, economic reform, and social justice represent the ideological and nationalistic positions of Dessalines as articulated by the \u003ci\u003egrandon, \u003c\/i\u003eactual children of Toussaint Louverture, seeking to speak for the African majority (the children of Sans Souci, the Congolese-born general of the Haitian Revolution) whose practical consciousness, the Vodou Ethic and the spirit of communism, differ from both the children of Dessalines and P騁ion. In the final analysis, the moniker is a truncated understanding of Haitian identity constitution, ideologies, and their oppositions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Paul C.
