In the Dominican Republic, Professor Gates explores how race has been socially constructed in a society whose people reflect centuries of inter-marriage, and how the country's troubled history with Haiti informs notions about racial classification. In Haiti, Professor Gates tells the story of the birth of the first-ever black republic, and finds out how the slaves's hard fight for liberation over Napoleon Bonaparte's French Empire became a double-edged sword.

Haiti is not just some worthless nation.It has a history longer than the U.S.A...
You fit the category of how many Dominicans can be so ignorant and arrogant about the Haitian people,when in fact the Dominicans have just as much the same heritage the Haitians.The people in Haiti live in the most fucked up conditions,due to foreigners and it's own despotic leaders,that have robbed and killed many Haitian people in Haiti,to where they look worthless but in actually they are not...

Why did the US Gov't collect all that money to help Haiti?? When Hurricane Katrina happened it took them 2 weeks to get down there to do something!!!
Why is Hati getting all the aid and publicity??
WHY does the U.S.A want with Haiti if it's just some "WORTHLESS LITTLE NATION"???
