Global Haiti: The International Gang Problem is an event centered on discussing the historic and current violence that has been perpetuated against Haiti for the past century. The event seeks to address the current violence and turmoil in Haiti by situating the most recent round of violence in the context of the complex history of Haiti's exploitation. We will start from the history of the Haitian Revolution, its forced reparations to France, Pan-Africanist movements in the United States alongside the struggle of the Haitians under various foreign interventions, and finally the geopolitical landscape of Haiti today to contextualize the current gang problem. In the end encouraging students, staff, and faculty to engage in meaningful dialogue about what Haiti’s story and current status represents. Open to all.
