The Haiti Experiment: Amid the Wreckage of a Country Once Rich Beyond Measure, a Chance to Rebuild
Laurent Dubois, author ofHaiti: The Aftershocks of History  "A brave, clear-eyed, and ultimately hopeful account... Anyone who has wondered "Where has all the money gone?" should read this book, which shows us why reconstruction can only succeed if we change the way we think about what 'development' truly means."Raymond Alcide Joseph, former Haitian Ambassador to the United States"He presents a sensitive narrative that takes us from Haiti's origins through to the present, and points the way for it to again become "The Pearl of the Antilles"... A must read for anyone concerned with Haiti and its future."Jeff Swartz, former President and CEO, Timberland"Hugh Locke delivers a chronicle of Haiti from its inception to the current state of disrepair. He helps readers see a different way of helping Haiti--one that is not focused on philanthropy, but on growing the hearts and minds and capabilities of the Haitian people."Maria Bello, actress and Haiti activist"What a magnificent book! So many of us experienced the pain, joy and dichotomy of this beautiful nation and it's people after the earthquake, and Hugh Locke captures it beautifully... I am deeply moved by his persistence and efforts to find solutions with the local community."
