A compelling story about the lives and unique culture of the Haitians whose forefathers fought for and won their freedom from the French almost two hundred years earlier. It tells of the internal and external forces of power and greed that have always attempted to undermine Haitian dreams of nationhood. Review by The BAR (Brothers Also Read), a Detroit-based literary organization of Black men dedicated to promoting the intellectual growth of its members, mentoring young readers, and transforming conversations in the community into actions that produce positive social change.
