Meer over het boek

Set in early 2000s Haiti, the narrative captures the resilience of a nation transitioning from dictatorship to a new era. Through the eyes of an anonymous, disillusioned young male student, the story unfolds via journal entries that introduce a vibrant community center in Port-au-Prince. Here, a diverse cast of characters—including friends, revolutionaries, and a mentor known as "the little professor"—interact amidst the backdrop of foreign peacekeepers. Trouillot's work serves as both a tribute and farewell to a pivotal time in Haiti's history.
