Haitian Corner (1987) [dir: Raoul Peck]

[bisexualvalve]

From the study:

No country or world region has ever received foreign income inflows approaching the magnitude of Europe’s in the 19th century

Without colonial transfers between 1800 and 1914 the geography of wealth would have been radically different in 1914, Europe would have had a very large debt, while South & South-East Asia (and to a lesser extent Latin America) would have cumulated significant foreign wealth.

From the second article

Put another way: had Western imperialist powers actually paid for what they took instead of extracting it through colonial violence and unpaid forced labor, the "developed" world would have been the "developing" world, and vice versa.

Great study from Piketty

"The shift from the Afro-Caribbean zombie to the U.S. zombie is clear: in Caribbean folklore, people are scared of becoming zombies, whereas in U.S. narratives people are scared of zombies. This shift is significant because it maps the movement from the zombie as victim (Caribbean) to the zombie as an aggressive and terrifying monster who consumes human flesh (U.S.). In Haitian folklore, for instance, zombies do not physically threaten people; rather, the threat comes from the voduon practice whereby the sorcerer (master) subjugates the individual by robbing the victim of free will, language and cognition. The zombie is enslaved."

— Justin D. Edwards, "Mapping Tropical Gothic in the Americas" in Tropical Gothic in Literature and Culture.

"The Haitian Bridge Alliance made the move after inaction by the local prosecutor, said their attorney, Subodh Chandra of the Cleveland-based Chandra Law Firm."

"Trump and Vance, a U.S. senator from Ohio, are charged with disrupting public services, making false alarms, telecommunications harassment, aggravated menacing and complicity. The filing asks the Clark County Municipal Court to affirm that there is probable cause and issue arrest warrants against Trump and Vance."

Funds for Haiti and Haitian Americans

A Haitian American woman with long Covid and her daughter with cancer have both been struggling to raise funds that would help them during their illnesses. Both of them live in the Midwest, which is where a lot of the most recent fear mongering has been centered.

COJEHA is a Haitian organization that provides financial support for youth, teaches agricultural skills, helps ensure children attend school, and teaches other soft life skills. They're working on building a farm with fish and vegetable crops where teaching occurs, which will also increase local access to fresh food.

P4H Global is the organization that has been working on building the canal connected to the Massacre River, another agricultural project. They have also been working to support education in Haiti, with both teachers and students.

The Haitian Community Center in Springfield, Ohio. Springfield's food bank, community health center, and a local Catholic organization that provides aid are also accepting donations.

Richard Pierrin is a journalist who has had to flee Haiti and is trying to get a visa that will allow him to work, and that doesn't end after 3 months.

Marc Henry and his family have been dealing with food insecurity for months, and are trying to get funds so they can eat, as well as supplies like livestock and fishing equipment so they can sustain themselves even after the fundraiser is done. They're close to their goal.

An elderly couple's home was damaged multiple times over the last few years and they are trying to raise funds to finish construction. They are also very close to their goal.

A fundraiser for children in Jacmel to provide food, water, and clothes.

A fund for several families to secure plane tickets out of the country

OTRAH is an organization that helps trans Haitians and wants to expand their services to combat HIV. They don't have a gofundme, instead donations are discussed over email.

There is also this thread of Haitian gofundmes which updates fairly regularly

This document explaining the leadup to where we are now also names some organizations that could use financial support

PLEASE talk about Congo, Haiti, and Sudan, with the same fervor you give Palestine. PLEASE care about black struggle and suffering.

This is how Haitians won their freedom: no pleading, no marching, no begging, no signing petitions, no holding up signs, no chanting, no sit-ins—just decisive action! 🇭🇹

PSA: Dismissing or minimizing the Haitian Revolution because of Haiti’s current struggles is a cowardly and shortsighted view. True liberation has never come without sacrifice, and freedom is never comfortable. The brave men and women who fought for Haiti’s independence knew the price of defying colonial powers, yet they chose dignity over submission. Haiti’s current struggles are not the result of its revolution but of relentless foreign interference, economic sabotage, and imperialist retaliation meant to punish the first free Black nation. To suggest they should have remained in chains to avoid hardship is the mindset of the weak.

The Haitian Revolution was not just for Haiti—it was a beacon for the entire African world. It shattered the illusion of white supremacy, proving that enslaved Africans could rise, fight, and win. It ignited a butterfly effect, inspiring Black resistance movements, abolitionist struggles, and anti-colonial uprisings across the globe. Haiti stood as a symbol of Pan-African defiance, and the same forces that sought to destroy it then continue to undermine Black progress today. If you measure success by comfort rather than liberation, you are still mentally enslaved.
