“HAITIAN WINDWARD” 20”X24” $375 matted - $500 framed |
Haiti has miles and miles of beautiful and undeveloped beaches. Some of the beach “Resorts” are reminiscent of the Caribbean in the fifties, slow paced, uncrowded, and inexpensive. This beach was just south of Cap-Haitien which was once called the “Paris of the Antilles”. Today although Cap-Haiten still shows its past glories in its architecture, the city is in complete disrepair and basic services such as electricity and telephone are shut off on a daily basis. Haiti became the first self governed country in Latin America and the world’s first black republic after a black slave rebellion in the former French Colony in 1804. Anarchy has reigned in Haiti since the removal of President Farther Jean-Bertrand Aristide by the military in 1991. Trade embargoes, intervention by the US Army and United Nations Military and Civilian advisers has only worsened the living conditions of the people of Haiti. |
