This is not surprising, though, given the impact of this episode on Haitian society and US policy toward the region.
On the other hand, the most well-known works lauded for a groundbreaking cultural analysis or transnational methodology, epitomized by those from Mary Renda and Alan McPherson, remain focused on Haitian resistance to the 1915-34 US military occupation. On the one hand, the historiography of Haitian foreign relations continues to receive new injections, such as Brenda Gayle Plummer’s internationalist tome, Julia Gaffield’s reexamination of the first years of independence, Matthew Smith’s regionalist examination, and Wien Weibert Arthus’s analysis of François “Papa Doc” Duvalier’s diplomacy. Occupation Promises is a marvelous addition to the literature not just on Haitian-US relations but also on US-Latin American cultural exchanges, development and foreign aid, and works on the Good Neighbor Policy.
