Haiti
A resilient nation where Haitian Creole poetry, vibrant art and the echo of a historic slave revolt shape daily life.
Overview
Haiti occupies the western half of Hispaniola, with Port‑au‑Prince anchoring a landscape of mountainous terrain and coastal plains. French and Haitian Creole coexist, and the country’s cultural expressions—painting, music, and dance—reflect a unique blend of African, French and indigenous influences rooted in its revolutionary past.
