Haitian history has been steeped in bloody violence since African slaves rose up against vicious plantation owners to establish the world`s first black republic in 1804. Form 1804 through teh ruthless regin of Papa and Baby Doc Duvalier - turmoil has rueled this Caribbean nation. The consequences of teh democratic election wich installed Jean-Bertrand Aristide as President-and teh military coup wich ousted him - are still unfolding.
This tumultuous history is encapsulated in Maggie Steber`s vivid color photographs. They go beyond teh calamity of political turbulence an ecological and social disaster to show the heroism of the people as the dream of freedom and modest prosperity. She has recorded teh mystery and magical beauty of Voodoo and Haitian daily lief, defined by an uncanny elegance and courage. Her eye is both unflinching and generous, illuminating a struggle of tragic dimensions.
