TASTE OF SALT : THE STORY OF MODERN HAITI
New York : HarperTrophy, 1994.
IL YA
ISBN 0064471365
It's hard to believe that in modern Haiti the people are moved against their will to harvest crops in Honduras, made to incur heavy debt at the company store for basic survival quantities of food, and are paid so poorly they never pay off their debt and therefore never regain their liberty to leave. On his hospital bed, Djo tells the story of how he escaped this trip and became a worker for President Aristide.
