The despair of the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere expressed in photos
By Charles Ashbacher HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on July 3, 2007
Format: Hardcover
There is a great deal of wealth in the Western Hemisphere; even some of the poorer countries have recently made significant economic progress. However, there are still pockets of abject poverty, and there is no region more destitute than almost the entire nation of Haiti. This book is a photographic essay that illustrates just how desperate conditions are in that nation.
The culture is primarily transplanted African, a combination of Christianity and ancient tribal rites. Together, they make up the unique Haitian brand of voodoo, which is in many ways an attempt to escape their unfortunate reality. From these photos, you can see glimpses of that culture, and most of it is not pleasant. Despite many well-intentioned attempts by wealthier nations to improve the conditions in Haiti, they have all more or less failed. There are few smiles on the faces of the people, they seem to be enduring life rather than living it.
The humanitarian good nature in all of us pushes you towards wanting to do something to help these people. However, the fundamental reality of the country is that there is really very little that can be done to truly improve the lives of these people. Their poverty is so ingrained in their culture that it is difficult to determine a course of action that would actually work.

A Dark, Despairing Look At Haiti
By John Kwok HALL OF FAME on November 7, 2001
Format: Hardcover
Bruce Gilden's "Haiti" is a stark, dismal landscape of poverty which easily conjurs up bleak images of the Congo in Joseph Conrad's "Heart of Darkness". Yet it is as riveting as any photographs I've seen from the likes of Salgado and Cartier-Bresson. However, unlike Salgado and Cartier-Bresson, Gilden is content to use his Leica to show viewers the truth, without seeking to portray his poor subjects in a noble, dignified light. All his familiar trademarks from "Facing New York" are here, with his extensive use of flash and odd composition, now brought to bear to show a very dark, grim view of Haitian poverty.
