Book Synopsis The Heart of Haiti by : Andrea Baldeck
Download or read book The Heart of Haiti written by Andrea Baldeck and published by UPenn Museum of Archaeology. This book was released on 2006 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "More than two centuries since enslaved laborers of West African descent evicted French colonials from Haiti's troubled republic, the second-oldest in the western hemisphere, the lot of rural Haitians has changed little. Life is tied to the exhausted land, worked with hoe to the cycle of seasons. One's world is that which can be taken in from the top of the highest mountain. The Artibonite Valley is one such microcosm, in the geographic heart of Haiti, where a river's liquid artery sustains 200,000 inhabitants on subsistence farms. Materially poor but rich in culture, the Haitians live with dignity in the face of deprivation, find solace in a spiritual synthesis of voudoun and Christianity, and season their talk with trenchant proverbs." "Andrea Baldeck came to know this world as a volunteer physician on several trips to the valley's Hopital Albert Schweitner during the 1980s, returning as a photographer in the mid-90s with the opportunity to see the valley and interact with its people in a new and more extensive way. In permitting their images to be taken they were giving much, and in their faces they revealed much - hope, resignation, forbearance, pride, strength, and love." --Book Jacket.

Book excerpt: "When most people think of Haiti; many images and preconceived notions are embedded into their mind-political pandemonium, horrible ravaged land, heavily over-populated, dirt poor unpleasant people. Tragically, the truth of the matter is for most people these images and thoughts reeks into their mind and are not reassuring. Images that are portrayed in the media will usually show the worst of Haitian society and culture. The Images are usually of the worst Haitian gutters, People of Haiti are frequently portrayed to be uneducated, angry, violent, helpless and always waiting for rescue. Haiti is the Western Hemisphere''s poorest country; many people always ask or wonder -- Why is Haiti so poor? Why is Haiti always facing political turmoil? Why are so many rejected "boat people" coming to the shores of Florida? Will Haiti ever change and how? The answer to these questions is very complicated to answer and to understand." Despite the tale of tragedy and violence, epic poverty and political turmoil there is still so much beauty in this tiny island. There is beauty in the way of the people, their history, their culture and their passions. Haiti boasts a creative, exotic culture whose roots run deep from Africa to France, and to The Caribbean. Haitian art is notable worldwide from primitive styles to hand made sculptures, and to paintings that tell stories. Haiti: A different image captures a more stirring view of Haiti-- a stark land of contrast, the beauty of the land, its dynamic history and unique culture and validates why Haiti was once called "La Pearle des Antilles."
