Excerpt from La Question Agraire en Haïti
La principale faute économique qu'a commise le président Boyer fut d'abandonner l'excellent système démocratique institué par Petion en souvenir de ce que firent les anciens triomphateurs romains qui donnaient des terres à leurs légionnaires pour les récompenser des services rendus à la patrie. Le président Boyer eut la main forcée par son en tourage (voir Bonnet) et revint à la conception économique de toussaint-louverture, du général Leclerc et de Dessa lines, conception aristocratique.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a critical examination of the Haitian agrarian question and its implications for the history and development of the nation. The author delves into the centuries-old debate over land ownership and its impact on Haitian society, arguing that the country's current political and economic challenges can be traced back to historical policies that favored large-scale landownership and discouraged the development of a robust smallholder peasantry. Through a meticulous analysis of historical documents and archival records, the author sheds light on the complex interplay between land tenure, social inequality, and political power in Haiti. By revisiting the legacy of key figures like Toussaint Louverture and Jean-Pierre Boyer, the book offers a fresh perspective on the Haitian Revolution and the subsequent struggles for land and economic justice. Ultimately, this book is a valuable contribution to our understanding of agrarian issues in Haiti, and a timely reminder of the enduring importance of land reform for the development and stability of post-colonial societies.
