Where is this from! Wikipedia? Want to read more


https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_debt_of_Haiti

You can find the source of a text just by picking a random sentence from it, put it in quotes and google for it.


https://www.theroot.com/as-haiti-burns-never-forget-white-pe... covers it in some more detail.

Like the article says it sounds unreal and almost to suspend disbelief, however if you independently look up the major events outlined they pencil out.


I read about some of the history of Haiti on the Digital Antiquarian: https://www.filfre.net/2018/09/shades-of-gray/

It is interwoven with describing an interactive fiction game, so not every word on there represents reality, but there are sources. I found it riveting when I first read it.
