Abstract

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 enable its leaders to deal more effectively with the constantly fluctuating political scene.
