The question may arise, as it relates to the course and what we are contending for, why are we focussed on Haiti? Every time I teach the course the focus is different, yet the conclusions are almost identical. This semester focuses on Haiti, as a case study when studying the Caribbean position in the world today and the currents that have led to its invention as we contend for a reinvented Caribbean in the 21st century.
The Lecture begins by analyzing the course and why we are focussing on Haiti by highlighting the idea behind the textbook which is a case study about Jamaica speaking about the Caribbean and global south experience in a post-colonial post-independent world. The Professor uses this to support the ways we are approaching the course. Much like the film Life and Debt a documentary film about Jamaica's socio-political-economic history based on a book about Antigua entitled "A Small Place".
The Professor makes the point how each Caribbean experience from colonization to independence and to now has followed similar paths concerning their position in the world and the international strategies that have come to formulate the Caribbean as an invention.
Rev. Renaldo surveys Caribbean economic history drawing on several theorists from the Caribbean and the post-colonial such as Ramesh Ramsarwan, Rex Nettleford, Nelson and Nelson, C.L. R. James, Walter Rodney, and his own work, Neoliberalism book 1.
The Lecture also featured a special guest Lecturer, Fr. Hyvenson Josephs, a Haitian American originally from Haiti who is an episcopal Priest living in Florida. He provided the latest update on Haiti indicating that Haitians are demanding a Haitian-led solution that follows the constitution of Haiti. However, Dr. Henry is exiled but remains as the Installed PM by the foreign gang of four - US, Germany, France, and Canada. Further, it was revealed that Canada is training a small group of Jamaican military to go to Haiti to help with security.
The Lecture was powerful and ended with Rev. Renaldo McKenzie reviewing an article for the Jamaica Gleaner on the importance of exploring Attitudes Toward Afro-Caribbean Beliefs and Traditions and problematizing the immigration issue.
