Overview
This is a book about the life and many careers of Dr. Jean Price-Mars, Haiti's most distinguished scholar and considered by many other world-renowned scholars to be the father of negritude. He might well become the President of Haiti but that was not to be. During the militarydictatorships which followed the Duvalier years it was often said that what Haiti now needed more than ever before was a president with qualities of Price-Mars.Editorials
