| | Taking Haiti: Military Occupation and the Culture of U.S. Imperialism, 1915-1940, by Mary A. Renda. Introduction. |
 | | The impact of the occupation on the United States must be understood, then, with reference to the rich and varied cultural engagement it precipitated. | | | The impact of the occupation of Haiti on the United States, the subject of the present study, was less complete but nonetheless profoundly significant. | | | Overturning Haiti's constitutional prohibition on foreign land ownership was both a primary goal of the United States and one of the most notable obstacles treaty officials faced. |

| | Thus, for example, trust funds, pension funds, and bank deposits generated by private persons are not to be regarded as public property simply by reason of their being held by a State owned bank. | | | The taking of hostages is a further means of enforcing obedience to the terms of Surrender or compliance with the laws of War. | | | That unoccupied portion, with its seat of government in Vichy, became known as "Vichy France." The Vichy authorities, while (under the armistice terms) not under occupation maintained a policy of collaboration with the Germans. |

| | If the United States, as the occupying military power, provides these machines for use in an occupied nation, one where a large fraction of the population does not believe our stated goals and does not trust us, these allegations of insecurity will be all that is needed to bring the election into disrepute. | | | Even if the election administered by the United States is, in actuality, entirely honest, the losers will be able to charge that our technicians manipulated the totals, and we will have no way to prove that we did not do so. | | | I propose the following set of rules as a candidate for the conduct of an election under military occupation. |

| | The objective of this military occupation is to back the political and economic privileges of the Haitian and international capitalists and oligarchy, whose thuggish actions have cost the lives of some 10,000 people. | | | All that is expected to be accomplished with these elections is to give some sort of validity, in a democratic way, to the putschist strategy and thus to turn over a new leaf with regard to the crimes committed against the people in over a year of occupation. | | | The military occupation began on February 29th, when Yankee military troops kidnapped president Aristide, who was at the time facing open and aggressive armed opposition, financed by the CIA and stimulated by a clique of Haitian and foreign businessmen that rule that country. |
