SHADA

"Un épisode de plus, de la guerre de l'empire contre la paysannerie haïtienne." Important study on SHADA, the Haitian-American Society for Agricultural Development, which did clear-cutting and stripping fertile Haiti forests and lands to plant rubber and sisal for the U.S. market, creating hunger, destroying peasantry, their farms and Haiti's ecosystem during the first U.S. occupation. This history is very important as this exploitation continues in present day Haiti with some comparing it with today's second U.S. occupation, i.e., Bill Clinton(UN)/Obama administration's Caracol development in the North of Haiti.
