Haiti : country report. 

 -  1997 
<br/><br/> Notes that Haiti is a country where history weighs heavy and is replete with symbolism.  The only nation to revolt successfully against slavery, its culture is based on two elements which foreigners often misunderstand - voodoo and the creole language.  The economy is expected to take eighteen years for haiti to get back to its 1991 GDP level.
