DEATH OF DUVALIER

I have selected some of the news coverage on the death of Jean-Claude Duvalier.  His death is an event that highlights profound issues for Haiti and for its relation to the US.

Haiti Libre coverage

Obituary, New York Times

Obituary, The Guardian

Analysis, Amy Walentz, an author and expert on Haiti

Analysis of Baby Doc's return to Haiti, Haiti Libre

Comments by Laurent Dubois, author of Haiti: The Aftershocks of History.  If you only read one comment, this is the one to read.  Dubois book is an excellent source of information about Haiti for Americans.
