- The Arnold A. Saltzman Institute of War and Peace Studies hosted a book talk with Michael Deibert. The event was moderated by Severine Autesserre, Member, SIWPS and Professor, Barnard College.
In a moving and detailed history of the country of Haiti, journalist and author Michael Deibert, who has spent two decades reporting on Haiti, chronicles the heroic struggles of Haitians to build a decent country in the face of what often seem to be the overwhelming odds of both internal and external forces bent on doing ill. Based on years of interviews with Haitian political leaders, international diplomats, peasant advocates, gang leaders and hundreds of ordinary Haitians, Deibert’s book provides a vivid, challenging and deeply moving analysis of Haiti’s recent history, overturning the myths and distortions about this often misunderstood country.
Event Date: April 11, 2016
OMG! I’m feeling more confident being a Haitian woman after watching this video. He’s awesome! He studied us with a free spirit and yes, he’s got us well!
Awesome job, dear!
I need all your books, Michael; you deserve my attention!
Haiti won’t perish ✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿✊🏿

Michael Delbert. I really admire you and show great respect for your courage to tell the truth for writing a great book. Thank you
Thank you Michael for having great ideas 💡 👍 🙏 😀 about Haiti. I think you know the value of our education in haiti 🇭🇹 better than some people who even live in Haiti 🇭🇹
We need Mr Deibert to lecture in all Haitian universities as well as those in the USA. Yes, Haiti will not perish.
HAITi will not perish with honest Man like
Mr.Deibert because we need Great loving human being to advise
This man is always on topics. He has done his research before coming not like the others talking nonsense, with facts. He knows and understands the raison why Haiti is having search of a hard time to succeed.
Thank you, Michael. Your book is clearly addressing all the chronic problems that Haiti facing since after our independence until today- most of the time the haitien people feel discouraged about the system- they fight- protest- they died, nothing never changed- because like you said Haiti has too many forces that pressing him down that it can't fight against them- those forces are our unpatriotic haitiens, USA, Canada and France. We all know that.
That’s true it’s the unpatriotic Haitians,USA,Canada,France
Si
Oh my God, someone finally tells the whole truth without any fear. Much respect to you and may God and the spirits protect you. The Haitians suffered so much on this earth, it's heartbroken. The truth had hidden for so long that the Ayitiens (the Mass) stop trusting any country that's trying to be friendly or trying to help. Because all came in the name, to help the Ayitiens. Yes that's us Ayitiens we live with dreams and hope.
The americanization of Haiti .
This is a prophetic vision about Haiti . I have seen the rising over Haiti . God bless Haiti !
Pastor Millien L. Holyphine
There's no such thing as americanisation of Haiti. Haiti is one of the American countries. America is a continent. I hope you still remember what you learned in 3rd grade about how many continents there are and the name of them! United States is not the whole America. It's United States of America. The of means United States attributes to America. That grammar 1 and 1
Either you don't know how to think or you're not black. So the solution for Haiti's problems is to make it more Americanized? That's a joke. If you're more Americanized does that not make you less Haitian? If it's more Americanized then who wins? Americans or Haitians. You are preaching nothing but, colonization.
And what's pissing off is that the americanisation they keep talking about in the comments, has nothing to see with the video! Almost misled me👺! That was such a great presentation and debate tho, thank you to whoever caused it to happen and to whoever made avalaible here!
We are learning about our country by strangers. What can we say?
He knows what he is talking about.
But haitian people need to be well educated about their country to be able to save it.
Good job! Sir
MCK Lapierre u are so right. Its scary.
Markheef Dessal one sided exactly
@Markheef Dessal one sided how? Not sure I am hearing a biased thought.
@@wosenaolivier-smith7730 can you elaborate on how you believe his comments is one sided?
Next time don't use the pronoun "WE" speak for yourself please, thank you. We have professors and scholars as well.
May God have mercy on us .
Haiti is the wealth of France, America, Columbia and so many other countries
Unfortunately till now we don't we even know who we are as a Haitians.
God judgement is coming for all that hurts haiti.
justice for haiti now.
Elite are the devils one.
The liars, the thieves. the milat are drug dealers in haiti too. Haiti been hurting by all sides, us 🇫🇷 canada 🇨🇦 etc.
God will bless Haiti. Those politicians in haiti are slaves. sold they soul to the devils. The citizens are free in they heart and souls.
Could you please publish and let me have a TRANSCRIPTION of that conference and Q&A session that I would volonteer to translate into French for enlargement of this book talk ?...
Good morning it's a pleasure to listen to you all thanks.
The Americanization of Haiti.
I see a new spirit,
a new flag,
a new country for the Haitian people. God bless Haiti!
Pastor Millien L. Holyphine: Activist for the integration of Haiti in the American federation.
This video has actually nothing to see about that actually. Its about the cancerous culture of IMPUNITY here and solutions. Thank you.
I have a lots of respect for Michael for fact that he took is time to find a way to understand Haitian, we're our on problem When we realized that may chance will be on the way ,we need self conscious... love Haïti the motherless child's..

Deibert opines that a government must have at least one "pillar" of governance that is effective (assuming perhaps that these "pillars" are coincident with a legislative, executive, judicial and perhaps financial "pillars". He advances that the judiciary must be the first such "pillar" that must be reformed, supported and effected in order to hope to build a functioning "state". His 2016 view included some hope for the reformed effectiveness of police enforcement in that event.
His viewpoint is sensitive to Haitian history, but exhibits and undercurrent of enlightenment era (US) liberal thinking that carries underlying assumptions that are really culturally chauvenist.
In response:
1) there is no possibility of a judicial power exercising a rule of law in a country and culture with deep asset and income inequity. In a country where a rich person can use his or her lunch money to pay for the arson of a city block at will, including both the cooperation of the constabulary and the authorship of journalistic lies or diversions to disguise the act, no judiciary power can be supported effectively. Income inequity trumps any attempt at instilling a rule of law. And income inequity is supported and maintained in Haiti both by foreign corrupting influences (including both sovereign meddling by such actors as the Clintons of Arkansas and others, and the wave of seditious Non-governmental Organizations that provide food and housing aid without any intention or ability to address the primary issue of wealth building by steady employment of the poor they serve except as part of religious pyramid schemes. Liberal democracy in Haitian politics is by no means going to assure judicial reform: in fact, the tendency for more voices to introduce more corruption is inevitable.
2) Haitians have never stopped fighting the war of Independence, and their intelligentsia is correct in assuming that ALL foreign powers have a vested interest in the failure of Haitian independence and a thriving economy, regardless of their felt or avowed agendas. Thus, there is no foreign help or aid that can be applied in Haiti that can ever succeed, since what Haitians really want is both aid and reparations, which are not the same. No other country (including France, the USA, the Dominican Republic, the UN) regards itself as responsible for reparations to the Haitian people. One or more of these will offer non-punctual aid (like USAID PL 480 food for peace infusions) to partially fund Haitian governmental recurrent costs (e.g.: buy some motorcycles or new uniforms or pepper spray), but this has merely the effect of strengthening the useless status quo of corrupt policing, revolving door courts and legislator graft. The US will also occasionally invade Haiti to meddle in its economic and political affairs to "defend democracy" without any budget to effect real improvements. Any foreign agency or person that offers anything that resembles these time-honored patronizing solutions is perceived by "woke" Haitians as just another racist dodge. The Haitian voices will repeat their need for reparations rather than "trickle down" aid, and they will get next to nothing in return.
3) Haitian Petionville (largely mulatto) elite families that own 90% of the assets in the country will fight any attempt to change this dynamic in order to (a) seize aid moneys or benefit from aid projects personally), and/or (b) render any such aid ineffective to continue the cover story that all foreign aid is predatory in order to preserve their hegemony over both law and commerce in country; and/or (c) to make the international benefactors depend on members of the elite to institute, operate, manage and translate any aid so that the elite can divert funds and projects in the future. Nor is this always piratical. The elites know that since most aid is not "punctual", it is better to stockpile aid or aid money to be used in the future when a punctual opportunity to apply it arises.
4) Haitians living abroad in the diaspora are often livid at the racism they encounter (in the USA, Canada, DR, etc.), and will be uncooperative and combative with any foreign aid project or intervention per se, and will insist on taking a managerial role in any such aid delivery from agencies or private non-profit aid organizations, often against the will (if not the real interest) of the recipients in Haiti. The competition for design and delivery of aid between Haitians in country and in the diaspora, and their differing ideological viewpoints often conspire to undercut even viable aid projects (though not all of them are viable, as both sides will attest). This is an even more prevalent problem when it comes to religious NGO aid projects.
5) Haitian Kreyol, vodun practices, standing local cultural practices (e.g.: the restavecs, corvee "work for food programs), and a completely failed electric, water and transportation infrastructure all make aid delivery and maintenance of aid projects much more difficult to manage, staff and monitor to avoid corruption than in most other poor countries. All of these factors serve to isolate the poor and advance the causes of the multi-lingual and internationally travelled and educated elites.
Deibert is to be thanked for his contribution to the dialog. It is clear from the Q&A session following that Haitians in the diaspora that attended the discussion are relatively uneducated as to economics, international politics and their own country's history. One point of fact: the total "reparations" that the USA forced Haiti to pay to the departed French slavers does not amount to US 29 billion in current dollars: it is more than 5 times that amount. Reparations from France (including the damage done by deforestation under the US occupaiton) amount to US $50 billion, and from the USA more than US $60 billion. Not one dime of any of this money should find its way into the pockets of the Petionville elites. Delivery of such reparations cannot be effected at all by any agency or force of current nor prospective Haitian government.
Haiti is now a failed state by design, and forced to continuous failure by both internal structural roadblocks and the will of foreign governmental and non-governmental actors that pretend to have the good of the Haitian people uppermost in their "aid" agendas. It's a complete basketcase.

Thanks Peter for your comment. You pinned point it quite well.
If a judge is making less than 500 usd a month and they expect him/her to keep a criminal behing bars they are nuts. The person charged can get him (juddge) killed for less than 10% of what he is making. Same goes for tbe police. The forest guards, etc. So we cant count on the judicial system until certain basic issues are not properly addressed
The gap is far too wide between the classes and i can personally say that the Haiti i grew up in no longer exist in terms of people. People arohnd the world tend to think that only the mulato forms the 1% of those holding all the ropes. You also have the politicians. They are quite rich and most have invested abroad as Michael mentioned. That money should have remained in Haiti. But they sont care about the people they only exploit them.
Haiti needs her children to take full responsiblity, stop blaming stop begging and go back to working the land. I suggest imposing high taxes on everything we can produce here. It will take time and as they say in creole "kenbe vant nou mare senti nou" tighten your belt and hold your belly" and STOP or drop 3/4 of all importation. Our food is much healthier anyway
When things get better, if you havent yet, maybe you could come visit Ayiti
They really know who we are, they know that we're worth it that's why they put in front of us this huge mountain to climb. I have faith and believe that one day, yes I am expecting for new revolution, every country which would be part of Haïti's suffering. Thank you Michael Deibert
Thankyou my country will not perish change is coming
Greetings
The biggest problem in Haiti is, Haitian government always confusing between " power and authority", and " reality and the truth", and" wisdom and knowledge", finally " education and instruction", and independence and decolonization. May Yahweh almighty God continues to bless and open doors of blessings in Haiti. No matter what the situation, Haiti will not perish under all those so called " leaders". EPHPHATHA, Ephphatha, Ephphatha, may Yahweh almighty continues to open doors of blessings in Haiti. Shalom shalom.
You missed the part of Bill Clinton destroying the rice production or the US and Canada killing the pigs
Excellent. Thank you
Michael thanks very much for that you have done for my Country 😭😭😭😭😭Enough is enough 👍
My Haiti 🇭🇹 is the best place in the world 🌎
We are really tired of does Shit
Thanks for your comment
Amen!
Hi Michael I would like to know if is possible for us who live out side of Haiti to have our representative in political? Like our own candidates.Thank you
Wow thank you my Father inthe heaven to make me here something like that this morning that's true you are telling the truth good luck Haiti God bless you 💥💯😍😍😍🌷
She speak the truth. They trying to stop this lady from speaking.

This video been around for 4 years first time seeing it I applaud Mr Deibert
Im watching from Taiwan
Taiwan with warm love, I salute you. Your help shall never be forgotten in our hearts.
Apparently more than 600 of these criminals and evil people have unliked this report or presentation. Why are they and how could they be so selfish?
Michael Deibert, I really appreciate the way you answer all the questions. Thanks for this video
Ayiti the land Destin to abuse
We all know the brain behind all that going in Haiti now and before, hearth quick programming, our agriculture destroyed, many political parties are greatly appreciated and financially supported just to make my country in a larger difficulties to behind in progresses, they feel if they do not deal with Haiti in such evils ways , Haiti eyes will be opened and all the Caribbean will fallow Haiti as we were at a time before the shovel of the Caribbean, we are proud as a first black nation who had their independence before every body els, and without a dought we are proud durant our battles we were able to deliberate many other countries , and also so proud as a shithole to fight for the great nation of America in Sabana , and we can never forget the money we loaned them durant their difficulties.
Proud of you dear 😘
They forgot what Haiti did to deliberate the slavery system at Savannah .USA represents the main problem caused in Haiti then in different aspects.
So we still stay head up
Brother WE didn,t FIGHT IN SAVANAH,ok at that time, HAITI was not a FREE NATION,the FRENCH at the time were fighting the ENGLISH,so they took some of their SLAVES from what is now Haiti and send them to what is now GEORGIA to FIGHT.We didn,t VOLUNTEER to go fight in SAVANAH,get that straight.
Thanks so much my brother for your imparable book
No one can serve Haiti only God
You are absolutely right only God can serve Haiti.
You mean 'save'??
WE LOVE YOU MAN
Speak for yourself. Lol
May God bless you all in this room Specially Mr. Michael. For once in my web search i found a group that care and telling the truth about My country Haiti. I would buy your book in a blink of in eye
I believe so Amen
Oh" mesye sa tris anpil 'yon bel ti pitit konsa nou detwi la vil si l pat gen kob la nou te mande a ,pito nou te fèl soufwi men nou pat etèn souf li, nou mechan nou merite lanmò mesye .
THANK YOU THAT WAS A POWERFUL UPDATE ABOUT AYTIANS
America, France and Canada are the reasons why Haïti is getting poorer by the day.
You are Right
@@ramsrameau6047 You forgot the most IMPORTANT one,the VATICAN,but majority of people will not understand,since they are CONVERTED IDI0TS.
That’s true
@@2CHACHOUU p
Exactly 💯
This was not a bad video. I really appreciate the inclusion of the q&a at the end.
M Michael is right about Haiti
It is now 2024 and the Prime Minister Henry jus resigned. I came here and stayed because a BBC report mentioned Michael and then a Wiki page mention that Raul Peck did an intro for one of Michael's books on Haiti. Kudos to Mr. Deibert for maintaining his dekorum under heated commentary. None I think directed at him but illuminating for how a person dedicated to his insights maintain his soft demeanor under what could have become a shouting match. My search goes on to learn more as the mainstream media today 2024 continues to use the term GANGS to describe those who currently run Port A Prince. I knew there was more and got off to a good start here.
Excellent work 👏 Sir
Okay. We know the problem...not who will take the first step to actually assist in solving the problem.
Us...Haitians...not the white people.
Help is on the way, and I'm so excited. Its a matter of time!! The black people are finding out their true identity and purpose in this world. We no longer have the image of white Jesus in our mind. God going to come down and deliver us from the hands of our oppressors.
I am happy of the waking of my people! Qam Yasharahla!
very good exposition
God going to judge those hurting haiti. 😭🇭🇹😭🇭🇹🗳💯🗳💯🗳💯🗳
Yes we will not Elohim will restore us in different ways Alleluia
Elohim is establishing HIS Kingdom. Haitians may want to make sure they're citizens of THAT, eternal one. This WHOLE world is perishing.
We love you every day
Great statement

La première étape de la traduction en français et en créole est la TRANSCRIPTION des débats en anglais : je n’ai pas tout compris dans les échanges verbaux en anglais mais je veux et je peux les traduire en français si les transcriptions en anglais me parviennent...
Qui peut et qui veut réaliser ce premier travail ?
Qui ?
This is 5 years ago. I wonder what he would say now? What does he think of the international community interfering with Haiti now?
Wow!!! Thank you to that man that says Haiti need a revolution that phrase caught my attention: yes Haiti do very much so need are revolution
Thank you Michael it is true we need help please keep up the good work May God bless you and protect you and your family.
Thanks so much for your incomparable versión book
Don’t worries, HAÏTI keep head up🇭🇹.Born for that 🙏
Haiti got this I believe in my country 🇭🇹Born for that
Serviteur Bondye beni w ou fe yon bon travay nan brain nou et nou reyisi vre kontinye fe travay la may God bless you my brother.
Don't blame no one because In the book Deuteronomy God give principle how to protect your country. Specialty the true Hebrew
YaH revealed the blessings and curses that would follow obedience and disobedience, respectively. The was nothing about saving HAITI-- beautiful as it is. Part of of the blessing was peace in the Land, HIS Land.
❤️💙🇭🇹👑 information is the biggest commodity I KNOW 🧠💪🏿🇭🇹
deuteronomy 28 v 15-68, there's the problem, and only God the real solution,
Ce realite a 300%100 problem Haiti Sorti de cote 3 Governments Canada La France et Estats Unit nous besoin Sorti enbas yo mounn sa yo pas rinmin Haiti ce bagay toute monde la approuve sa sans reserve yo fair Haiti empil Mal ??????..?????

Amazon is always a good place to start.
I might be leaving in this, but this isn’t the totality of who I am.

Are you kidding me? US is one of the big benefactors of our pain, they need our resources to bring back to the US.
Poor Haiti!!!! God is the ONLY One who can and will be able to help that country..... No one else.....
True story.
Tks on different approaches to deliver your topic. When politics stands on answer to 5 w' s. On which theory is assume an answer to the question " Haiti will survive "?
Noone or nobody can do anything about what is happening in Haiti, except God and I believe He's going to take over soon, very soon either you believe it or not
True. But when He comes, He's establishing HIS Kingdom, not Haiti's. Haitians would do well to make sure they are on HIS side rather than shouting that He's on THEIRS.
Help us to have this book in French sir
W tv
I’m interested in your book, how can I order it?

I took so long before finally decided to watch this and I feel like I need to write comment to show my gratitude to the writer and also to say yes to one of the participants who say we don't only have to blame the US government but this is the fault of our greedy politicians that only think about their well-being not the population who voted them well being. I hate them they make everyone afraid to involve in the Country's politics. If they prioritize what is good for the Country before themselves a stranger would never be able to corrupt them. They have no humanity at all. They'll be punish one day for all they did to this poor country. God bless Haiti.
There is a problem with Haitian people they don’t know how pike their leaders things will change when they learn to listen and analyze who’s they to send to power.Because who you vote for is matters.
its like you didnt watch the video...as though you have half a brain
Hi Michael how are you doing? Five years ago you were saying Haiti will not parishes.Do you still believe that? Right now I don’t think it will go deeper than what I am seeing.Thank you I like to know if you really need our com antes because I don’t see any response for my comment.
Wow this gentleman is a truth telling God bless you and dammed all the oppressors , may God send fire yo you demons.
NOT FOR ME BUT GOD GLORY I WAS ON MY HOUSE MOTHER FATHER MONTROUIS WHEN GOD POWER JUST BRIP ENTER IN THIS HOUSE HERE MY MOTHER TO BOSTON THAT THE WAY I MEET PASTOR BOB SMITH FAMILLIES BIBLE HERE HAITI FULL OF GIFTS

PA BLIYE GADE "FETLABEL". LI ENTERESAN, LI ENSTRIKTIF.
I'm laughing when put haiti as the poorest in the hemisphere to gain advantage of that,we knew it's not true.
YES IS fine
Yeah man that’s what I meant for Haïti nothing bout a revolution.
Thx you MICHAEL DEIBERT .haïti and AFRICA is the FUTURE zoe zoe zoe zoe zoe zoe for LIFE
Even right now if you're not hurry you won't to have a peace of land back home it so expensive
United Nations and United States of America government for the love of God go to all Haitian's territories in Haiti with drones and helicopters pickup all your weapons and guns civilians own. Today is the day for Haiti to be safe again for all Haitian's. Too much blood in Haiti with those weapons you make and please after you finish taking your weapons away from Haitian's territories lock 🔐 that weapons doors never opened it again thanks ❤️🇭🇹
Those who give those children’s gun to destroy each other’s. God judgement is coming for you. repent, repent God almighty is watching you all.
We’re need help there’s no questions about that. And I thank all of you.
Yes a lot of racism in my country we do not have no slaves mentality takes that from your mind anymore that have that in mind
The help they give to Haiti do not reach the public
So so right only Haitians can save Haiti not us canada france ect.
If haitians is the first black free,they should not need to buy a Visa to travail in the world, flying is a business not a Visa privileged among people.
Ummmm....because they were the first free black nation in an era where their labor and oppression was very economically advantageous to the colonizers and one other free colony in that Hemisphere, they have had hell to pay. If anything, they would be stripped of any privelege as a penalty for being such a threat to the then, global, economy
When you have to pay for a Visa to travel,you'll see how sense it makes..Haiti is a fatherland of Liberty we welcome everyone to be free by land,by see,by air,since 1804
Dave haitians will stop invade others countries,with our haitians passports,we will have to buy a airlines tickets just like you do to travel around the world,not to buy a Visa first,the ones got monies travel, ones haven't, won't bother..
