Margaret Kimberley · Class Struggle Shapes Haiti Political Conflict

Class conflicts between Africa-born and Haiti-born Blacks and mulattos shaped Haitian political battle lines before and after the 1804 revolution and to this day, said Haitian American author and activist Pascal Robert. The descendants of “African peasants make up Haiti’s poor majority today,” said Robert, speaking at a webinar on Haiti at Broward College in south Florida.
