The book addresses a subject of tremendous political and social importance, which has generated some debates throughout the years. A key factor for this re-examination is the lack of evidence and rigorous analysis using illustrations from one of the most disadvantaged groups. The book fills this gap by critically assessing the mechanisms that create inequity and exclusion and identifying solutions. Thus, this book provides a basis for informed reflection, discussion, and decisions.
Overview of the book
The book comprises three parts, with some chapters briefly presented below for each part.
The first part adopts politico-cultural lenses and includes various topics with these central arguments.
- The "N" word is depicted as a slur in English but perceived differently in French literature. What is the reason?
- Reversing despicable poverty in Haïti and elsewhere implies reforms in national and international institutions to mobilize the judicial system against corruption.
- A formula for equity involves wealth sharing and the Black community doing its part. The reader will discover a two-way street to ensure a more prosperous and equitable society.
- A parallel is drawn between the 2011 Martelly election in Haïti and the 2016 Trump election in the US. Will there be an attempt for accountability in Haïti, as is the case in the US?
- COVID-19 vaccine mistrust has been conspicuous among Blacks. This chapter debunks seven vaccine myths rampant in the Black community. It also offers prescriptions for vaccine adoption and ways and means to thwart the anti-vaccine controversy.
- Racism impacts Blacks' health in North America. I have showcased some specific conditions as illustrations.
- Racialized groups felt the brunt of COVID-19 in North America and Europe as opposed to their fellow citizens in birth countries. How can this paradox be explained?
- Were ethnic groups victims of racism when fleeing Ukraine at the start of the war? The intersection of race and gender needs to be considered. Looking at these two factors simultaneously can offer a better picture of the situation in the context of martial law.
- Some industries with significant technological changes can trigger rent-seeking behavior and bargaining power can procure huge benefits. The chapter compares technological change in healthcare, journalism, and the taxi industries.
- Is the province of Quebec ready to have a Black woman as Premier? Mrs. Anglade was the first woman of Haitian descent to be a candidate for such a position. I have scrutinized three possible reasons for her challenging campaign in 2022.
- Haitian diaspora has been waiting for decades to invest massively in their birth country. I present three interventions that could save lives and help the Haitian economy and the environment.
- Paying for climate bills in high and low-income countries is a topical and contentious issue. How can the Polluter Pays Principle be applied to be fair to low-income groups in rich countries and everybody in low-income countries?
