Haiti by Laurent Dubois
This is a passionate and insightful account that finds in Haiti's traumatic history the sources of its devastating present. Even before last year's earthquake destroyed much of the country, Haiti was known as a benighted place of poverty and corruption. Maligned and misunderstood, the nation has long been blamed by many for its own wretchedness. But as acclaimed historian Laurent Dubois demonstrates, Haiti's troubles owe more to a legacy of international punishment for the original sin of staging the only successful slave revolt in the world.is a main contributor to the MySQL Reference Manual, a well-known online handbook that has helped MySQL administrators and database engineers for years and is now available in a beautiful physical format from the O'Reilly Community Press.
