Things are not always what the seem when it comes to Haiti and its many battles.

In Collective West media, the violence taking place in Haiti is being reported as the symptom of a failed state.

This is wrong.

Haiti has been the "laboratory of neo-colonialism" since at least 1915, and this is continuing today.

At the moment, the Haitians are again revolting and striving to shake off the yoke of European and American oppressors.

Dr. Jemima Pierre is a professor at the Social Justice Institute at the University of British Colombia in Vancouver.

She is the author of "The Predicament of Blackness: Postcolonial Ghana and the Politics of Race" Her next book that she is working on currently will be called "Natives, Ethnics, and True Negroes: A Counter-History of Anthropology."
