Summary, Overlook, and Conclusions
The preceding chapters have presented a detailed account of the activities of Jean Price-Mars and other members of the Haitian elite during the American Occupation of Haiti and the early years of Sténio Vincent’s presidency. We have learned how Haiti regained its military but not its financial independence, and of how, even as this happened, Vincent usurped the powers of a democratic Congress and established a dictatorship by popular consent. In …
Price-Mars and the Cataclysmic Events of 1929–30
By 1929 Haiti was at a critical juncture in its relations with the US occupational forces, which had been in the country for 14 years. Though order and stability had been established, its citizens had not only been deprived of freedom of the press and of assembly but were being subjected to military pressure to change their Constitution and had been assigned to a subordinate role under a client government. 1 US attempts to improve roads, educatio…
The Development of Price-Mars’ Political, Educational, and Religious Theories, 1919–29
Haitian discontent with the Occupation continued during the decade from 1919 to 1929. The period was also one of concern on the part of American Friends of Haiti with the activities and direction of the Occupation authorities during successive US presidential administrations. Within this context, Price-Mars endeavored to rejuvenate Haitian political and cultural pride and stamina through a series of trenchant intellectual initiatives, which would…
Price-Mars’ Attempts to Organize the Haitians During the Early Years of the American Occupation, 1916–18
For Rear Admiral William B. Caperton, ordered to enter Haiti in 1915 as the agent of “gunboat diplomacy,” the country was a tragic land of disorder, “a land of seething discontent, professional revolutionaries, and a national and ingrained political dishonesty.” 1 Rival factions had tried to gain his support in forming governments, and even the “better class” of Haitian, he was convinced, believed that only a permanent intervention could save Hai…
Price-Mars and the Period of Haitian-American Adjustment, 1930–3
The events of 1929 and 1930 had rejuvenated the Haitian nation and left it looking forward “expectantly to certain liberation.” 1 The US State Department, however, was firmly convinced that Haitianization or relaxation of US control ought to proceed gradually. 2 There would be some progress during the next three years, but it was bound to be accompanied by complaints and new controversies. 3 As US troops remained on Haitian soil and Haitian divis…
Price-Mars and the Governmental Transformations of 1933–5
Price-Mars’ vision of the future of Haiti would not be fulfilled in the years from 1933 through 1935. During this period the US military occupation came to an end, but this did not bring with it the realization of Price-Mars’ hopes for social change, economic development, and responsible representative democracy. Instead, he and his associates in the Senate failed in their struggle with the President to preserve representative government. Eventua…
The Development of Jean Price-Mars’ Position Regarding the Problems of Haiti, 1876–1915
To understand the role that Jean Price-Mars would play during the Occupation period, it is necessary to be aware of the kind of man and the type of intellectual he had become by 1915. He had grown up during a troubled period of his nation's history, but had been raised in an atmosphere of religious tolerance, pride in Haitian folklore, consciousness of his illustrious forebears, and an emphasis on moral commitment, all of which served to stimulat…

The American Occupation of Haiti
As the United States was gradually completing its territorial expansion to the Pacific Ocean in the 1890s its search for new economic opportunities focused upon the Caribbean area. Because of its regional diversity, shaped by different ambiences, cultures, and reactions to imperialistic impositions, attempts at unification in the Caribbean were highly unrealistic and made the involvement of the United States there much easier. Ideological notions…
