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.
