Frontmatter -- Contents -- Preface -- Note on Terminology and Language -- Introduction -- 1. The Promise and Peril of Foreign Ties, 1791-1915 -- 2. "With the Spirit of Friendship": U.S. Occupation, Indigénisme, and Haitian Nationalism, 1915-1934 -- 3. Pan-Americanism in Port-au-Prince: Historical Memories and Urban Activities, 1934-1945 -- 4. La Nouvelle Coopération: Cultivating Knowledge through Haiti-U. S. Ties, 1936-1948 -- 5. "Viva UNESCO": A Subtle Embedding of the United States in Haiti, 1948-1953 -- Epilogue: Enduring Promises -- Acknowledgments -- Abbreviations -- Notes -- Note on Sources -- Bibliography -- Index
Summary: Contrary to popular notions, Haiti-U.S. relations have not only been about Haitian resistance to U.S. domination. In Haiti and the Uses of America, Chantalle F. Verna makes evident that there have been key moments of cooperation that contributed to nation-building in both countries. In the years following the U.S. occupation of Haiti (1915-1934), Haitian politicians and professionals with a cosmopolitan outlook shaped a new era in Haiti-U.S. diplomacy. Their efforts, Verna shows, helped favorable ideas about the United States, once held by a small segment of Haitian society, circulate more widely. In this way, Haitians contributed to and capitalized upon the spread of internationalism in the Americas and the larger world.
