Summary "Hayti; or, The Black Republic" by Sir Spenser St. John is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work provides insights into the political, social, and cultural dynamics of Haiti, reflecting on the country's tumultuous history, particularly since its independence. The narrative is shaped by the author's personal experiences as a diplomat in Haiti, and it examines the consequences of civil strife and a perceived decline in civilization among the populace. The opening of the book sets the stage with a critical observation of Haiti's current state, depicting a nation in decay and under the weight of social and political turmoil. St. John reflects on the aftermath of revolutions, noting the destruction of both property and social fabric in capital cities like Port-au-Prince. He discusses the decline of agriculture and commerce, the migration of educated citizens, and the rising influence of extreme elements within the society. Throughout, there is a palpable sense of urgency, as the author urges for a closer examination of Haiti's struggles with governance, identity, and the influences of its colonial past.
