HAITI: the magical land
By Alejandro Guevara Onofre

INTRODUCTION
In 1492, Christopher Columbus wrote about Haiti: "The most beautiful in the world." Although Haiti is a wonderful country in the Caribbean. I think it's a special beauty, with a geography and traditional culture which is totally different from all other countries in Latin America.

Now, this essay is a historical information about Haiti, the first black republic in modern history and one of the poorest nations of the world. Each chapter provides details on the history, economics, biographies, sports, scholarships, external relations, culture and other important aspects of Haiti. People who do not know many people believe that Haiti Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the world, but the island is known for its traditional culture, hospitality, superstitions, history. In addition, Haiti is the home of National History Park, one of the wonders of the ancient world, and women of renown such as Edwidge Danticat and MichaaĞlle Jean were born.

Since then, the dictatorships have destroyed Haitian society, economy, ecology and sport. Since 1950, two million Haitian people emigrated to the United States and other countries. Haitian-American arrived from Haiti with nothing more than their clothing. If you compare Haiti today in Haiti thirty years ago, we see a change: a new multi-party democracy. Today, a large part of the third world and more than one billion people are under dictatorships.

Finally, I would like to conclude my introduction with a message of Albert Mangones: "Haiti is unique in history, going directly from slavery to the nation."
