Restavec by Jean-Robert Cadet
Recounts the harrowing story of Cadet's youth as a restavec, as well as his inspiring climb to middle-class American life
"This autobiography of a young man who escaped the most foreboding of circumstances and raised himself up by his own bootstraps will appeal to a wide range of readers.. His courage in dealing with and overcoming a wretched existence in Haiti and the dehumanizing effects of racism in the United States will stimulate much reflection on the nature of these two societies." Alex Dupuy, author of Haiti in the World Economy and Haiti in the New World Order
Today, Jean-Robert Cadet holds a Master's Degree in French literature and works to help aid other restavec children.
