ISBN: 9780813916743.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDignity is Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristides compelling story of his three years of exile, from the coup that deposed him (September 30, 1991) to the U.N. Security Council vote in favor of military intervention (July 31, 1994). He offers an intensely personal journal of events, one that records his doubts as well as his determination in the face of criticism and uncertainty. Introductory materials familiarize the reader with events from the fall of Jean-Claude Duvalier (January 1986) through the first months of Aristides presidency. The afterword provides information on the period since Aristides return (October 15, 1994).\nDignity is a touching and readable account by Aristide, one that refutes much disinformation circulated about him during his exile. It also constitutes a major document for historians and students of the difficult institution of democracy in the Caribbean.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"University of Virginia Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45113446563893,"sku":"ByrdShop_0813916747","price":59.93,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780813916743_3c56977b-0411-4ec5-976f-e26835208a46.jpg?v=1781167477","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/dignity-9780813916743","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
