Alex Dupuy is professor of sociology at Wesleyan University.
Dupuy, a recognized authority on Haiti, tracks the island's
troubled transition to democracy up to the present. . . . This is
well-written: an important book with a clear theoretical
orientation. Highly recommended.
*CHOICE*
A meticulously researched text. . . . The Prophet and Power is a
key source for understanding the intricate set of factors that
contributed to the dynamics of this turbulent period and an
important contribution to Haitian and Caribbean studies.
*Caribbean Studies, January-June 2009*
An important, original, and comprehensive contribution to the
literature on contemporary Haitian politics in particular, and on
democratization and globalization in general. Dupuy elucidates with
intelligence the Aristide phenomenon and does an excellent job in
showing how both domestic and international forces intersected to
generate the current crisis.
