Title: Forgotten memory
First published: 1999
Description: The maelstrom of Haiti's 1991 coup d'état plunged the nation into some of the most cynical violence of its history. Still struggling to make sense of the legacy left by three decades of bloody dictatorship, the victims of the ensuing military junta suffered from deep and often chronic psychological and physical conditions that baffled international health professionals. This book examines the cruel paradox now shared by all Haitians: their forgotten memory.
