Self-Determining Haiti (1920)

Self-Determining Haiti is a book written by James Weldon Johnson and published in 1920. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the history and politics of Haiti, focusing on the country's struggle for independence and its efforts to establish a stable government. Johnson explores the role of the United States in Haiti's affairs, particularly during the American occupation of Haiti from 1915 to 1934. He argues that the Haitian people should have the right to determine their own destiny and that foreign interference only serves to undermine their sovereignty. The book is a powerful indictment of imperialism and a call for self-determination for all peoples. It is an important historical document that sheds light on the complex relationship between Haiti and the United States, and it remains relevant today as a reminder of the importance of respecting the sovereignty of other nations.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
