Largely unstudied and usually misunderstood, Haiti is a puzzle for most North Americans, especially now as the small Caribbean country rapidly modernizes. Historical Haitian apprehension towards attempts to interpret their culture had previously limited attempts at comprehensive social studies. Recently, though, Haitians have adopted more modern and open attitudes toward foreigners. Dash (French, New York U.) has attempted to take advantage of this trend in his book, which includes a historical overview of the country; an examination of the religions, social customs, literature and language as well as the emerging art (performing and visual), architecture, mass media and cinema; and a b&w photo essay.
