It is said that Haiti colonized The Dominican Republic between 1822 and 1844, however many historians such as Eller argue that Haiti’s takeover of DR was a lie created by the US and former colonial powers, including Spain. Do you agree or disagree with this narrative that Haitians colonized DR? Explain why you agree or disagree. F. Documentary films such as Life and Debt, and Caribbean Post-Colonial Skeptics such as Ramesh Ramsarwan and David Witter argue that the Caribbean’s position of dependency and unstable development is a result of Structural Adjustment policies imposed by Post Industrial countries of the Global North. However, some argue that Caribbean Politicians and leaders were weak-kneed and lacked vision while others such as Prof. Trevor Monroe of the National Integrity Agency in a 2014 documentary film entitled: “Combatting Corruption in Jamaica” blamed political mismanagement of funds and corruption as slowing Jamaica’s development. Write an essay making a case for what you believe is responsible for Jamaica’s and the Caribbean position today as dependent, vulnerable, and uncompetitive states. The Lecture is delivered by Rev.
