Description: Prophet And Power : Jean-Bertrand Aristide, Haiti, And the International Community, and Haiti, Paperback by Dupuy, Alex, ISBN 0742538311, ISBN-13 9780742538313, Brand New, Free shipping in the US A priest preaching liberation theology, Aristide came to power in 1991, was overthrown by a military junta seven months later, and was restored to power in 1994 thanks to popular sentiment and a multinational force. By then he was no longer a priest nor an adherent of liberation theology. Instead he sought to aggregate as much authority as possible into his and his party's hands, hired thugs, and corrupted the very power structures he had once hoped to shape into the tools of the people; eventually he was deposed without hope of return or reconciliation. Dupuy (sociology, Wesleyan U.) closely analyzes the fate of democracy in a poor and underdeveloped nation that serves a tiny ruling class. He delineates the role of globalization and the previous Duvalier dictatorships, the rise and fall of Aristide, and the efforts to find peace in Haiti ever since.
