    INFORMATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document have been used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the original submitted. The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. 1.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Missing Page(s)". If it was possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you complete continuity. 2. When an image on the film is obliterated with a large round black mark, it is an indication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing or chart, etc., was part of the material being photographed the photographer followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to continue photoing from left to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until complete. 4. The majority of users indicate that the textual content is of greatest value, however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from "photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

    Pawòl gen zèl: Language Legitimation in Haiti’s Second Century by Matthew James Robertshaw A Thesis presented to The University of Guelph In partial fulfilment of requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in History Guelph, Ontario, Canada © Matthew James Robertshaw, December, 2016 ABSTRACT Pawòl gen zèl: Language Legitimation in Haiti’s Second Century Matthew Robertshaw Advisors: University of Guelph, 2016 Professor Karen Racine Professor Joubert Satyre “Le créole, est-il une langue?” mused Haitian poet and public intellectual Georges Sylvain in 1901. As the only language spoken by all Haitians, Sylvain believed that Haitian Creole should be recognized as the true language of Haiti. He called for its widespread use in Haitian literature and education. He and his contemporaries took the first steps toward establishing an authentic national literature, but it was another half century before Haitian authors began to use Creole as a versatile and self-sufficient literary language. The first innovative works of theatre and poetry in Creole did not appear until 1953, and the first Creole novel was not published until 1975. The Bernard Reform, which mandated the use of Creole in education, did not occur until 1979, and Creole was not named an official language, on par with French, until 1987. When one considers the long history of eloquent support for the popular language, it is surprising that Creole legitimation has advanced so fitfully. The country's political elites are often accused of using French to maintain their hold on power, but the Creole legitimation project is not simply a tug-of-war between the elites and the masses.

    Diplomas and the Haitian Diplomés' Mission

    E. W. Vedrine's Complete Works, including works on Haitian Creole (1992-2005) DIPLOMAS AND THE HAITIAN DIPLOMÉS' MISSION (by Emmanuel W. Vedrine) Dec. 13, 2004 Well, it's a good idea to have DIPLOMAS and I would encourage anyone to go for them. We have been living in a society where the majority of people are ILLITERATE. That has had so far a great impact on that country's development. The more educated people are, the better it is for a country, and we can certainly understand why most French would agree with this phrase: “The French are the resources of France ”. But the BIG questions we may ask are the followings: 1. What have most of those with many DIPLOMAS done for Haiti? 2. What have most of those with many DIPLOMAS contributed to the building of a new Haitian society? We could go on and on asking a series of questions pertaining to the issue, an important one if we would like to get deeper and deeper in the MISSION of the “literate citizen”. Today, it is not surprising to many of us to hear that “THE LITERATE HAITIANS HAVE CONTRIBUTED MOSTLY TO THE FALL OF HAITI”. We could certainly go into details with this issue by developing a whole “philosophy from the Haitian Reality”. A renown Haitian scholar (a man of science and letters), Dr. Jean Metellus, a retired professor of Medicine from the prestigious College de France in Paris and one of Haiti's renown writers, states in his book of essays “Haiti une nation pathétique” that Education in Haiti has always been “un cheval de bataille” used by elite to get to power (in the sense that once getting there, they would do great things about it – quite a nice promise to get votes and people's attention, but as soon as they get there they don't perform it.

Increasingly, they have sought to understand the complex interaction between political and economic phenomena. The Political Economy of Reform Failure considers issues of economic reform in a broad range of settings: developed, transition and developing countries. Using country-specific cases this book focuses on those territo- ries which have encountered problems reforming, allowing the reader to gain an accurate understanding of the factors that inhibit the success of economic reform, the different context in which economic reform is attempted and the different challenges that individual countries face.
