My guest last night on LOF1804 was Dr. Millery Polyné. Topics include the Oct 25th Diaspora in Dialogue conference, the recent ruling stripping Dominicans of Haitian descent of Dominican citizenship and the idea of Haiti.

Millery Polyné is an Associate Professor at New York University's Gallatin School of Individualized Study.  A graduate of Morehouse College and the University of Michigan with a Ph.D. in History, Millery's teaching and research interests include the intellectual history of African Americans and Afro-Caribbeans in the 19th and 20th centuries.  He is the author of From Douglass to Duvalier: U.S. African Americans, Haiti and Pan Americanism, 1870-1964 (University Press of Florida, 2010) and the editor of The Idea of Haiti: Rethinking Crisis and Development.

Here is a link to the video Dear Ayiti which we discussed early in the show:

Here is a link to an interview I did of Millery when I first created this blog in 2005 on the topic of growing up Haitian in America. It is one of the most visited links on this site!

Translated from Radio Télévision Caraïbes:
"Some pictures of Resistance Square in Port-Salut. A project of the Eric Jean-Baptiste foundation. The statue depicts a Haitian man looking up to the sun while holding a Haitian flag in his right hand and stepping on a UN blue helmet."
Port-Salut is the hometown of Johnny Jean who was raped on video by UN soldiers.
The UN is widely credited for having brought the cholera epidemic to Haiti.

Haiti, Cholera and Mysterious Dismantlement of Water Systems

"Simultaneously with the introduction of cholera, there has been a sabotage of the municipal water systems of Haiti’s largest cities. For example, Gonaives has had no municipal water since December 2011 due to the destruction of three out its five pumping stations. Saboteurs removed over 1,500 feet of electric cable along with a control panel and a switch for current distribution. A similar dismantlement of Cap Haitien’s water supply happened in Summer 2012."
