detrimental circumstances in Haiti, therefore I was always viewed as foreign. If my accent did not reveal my identity, then my Caribbean island boy demeanor or way of dress surely would. At a young age, I gained interest in African history because as a citizen of a developing black nation, I had experienced their economic struggles, encountered similar social discriminations, and inherited comparable cultural values. Today, my academic aspirations focus primarily on the history of the African Arab States

the Dominican Republic is a place of rich and diverse culture, turbulent political history, and has produced a number of important literary works and prominent public figures known well in their home country and beyond. Like all countries, the Dominican Republic faces a myriad of issues today, including that of its schooling system, environmental issues, and the inherent ripple effects of its colonization history.

overseers of the plantation, this was the wake of the Haitian Revolution. The revolution lasted about 12 years in Saint Domingo which was the French Colony that is now known as Haiti, and led to the country to becoming the first Black Republic. The Haitian Revolution is known for being one of the most successful slave revolts in history. Social, political, and economic rights catalyzed the revolution.

Inform You, and Nothing to Envy focus on the issue of poverty. The remaining books, Nine Parts of Desire, The Smartest Kids in the World, and The Sixth Extinction deal with the issue of inequality. The first three problems are extreme poverty in Haiti, genocide in Rwanda, and human rights in North Korea. These issues are similar because they all address poverty in different situations.

A couple of these influential documents was the English Bill of Rights, U.S constitution, and the Haitian Constitution. Many new ideas sprouted following the

The Declarations of 1776, 1789, and 1948 provide key outlines and the base for human rights by showing what is no longer acceptable.

college, which was two years ago. Learning about a Revolution that did so much for the United States, especially black people, my first year of college is ridiculous. I should have learned this in U.S. History, or at least a mention of it. It is sad how after 200 years, what the African slaves did in Haiti still goes unappreciated. It is also sad that simply because Africans defeated Europeans, all of the hard work the slaves did goes unnoticed. Their people died and risked their life for a better purpose

(Carlson 11/10). Even though there are disagreements between the views Behn and Rousseau, both see that racism and slavery are two different ideas and should be treated separately. The Haitian revolution also witnessed severe racism and slavery. In Haiti, slaves occupied about 85% of the population while the free men only occupied about 15% (Breen 10/31). The sugar plantations needed these slaves to run the production which was a gruesome process. Through this horrible procedure, many people
