Haiti fascinates as much as it perplexes. Stunning the society at the time with its successful slave revolt to become the first black republic in the New World in 1804, Haiti is now viewed as the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere riddled with political instability, social injustices, and underdevelopment. Yet it boasts a diverse and dynamic cultural heritage expressed through various artistic media. This seminar introduces students to major events and conflicts (Haitian Revolution, dictatorships in the 20th century, US interventions, and the 2010 earthquake) that have shaped Haitian history, politics, society, and culture, and analyzes them for the ways in which they contribute to the creation of cinematic traditions. - Shanaaz Mohammed, visiting assistant professor of French and Francophone Studies; Ph.D., M.A. Florida State University; B.A. The University of the West Indies at St. Augustine
