@gilduran76 We need to be asking more questions about Tony Lyons and Skyhorse Publishing
Then you got Steven Barry and The Resistor if you wanna an old school throwback.
There was some mucking about in Haiti with some not so nice stories told by not so nice people.
Then there is this 2018 throwback to Donald
Find the hashtag #MakeHaitiGreatAgain 
If course Dom Lucre all over it..but he is in the same circle.
I call him the Santogg of a Tennessee 
From 2016-2017 there were many tweets saying Trump would make Haiti Great Again and blame the Clintons
Trump would of course go on aand make hit sh**hole country comments after he won 
But you really have to go back to the earthquake
neonazi website Stormfront loved the earthquake
F*ck Haiti. …. I’m fed [up] to the core with hearing of Haiti and how we must help these ‘poor’ abominations to [sic] humankind.“Iberian88”
Pat Robertson 's a real hoot, on letting French leave
They said, ‘We will serve you if you will get us free from the prince.’ True story. And so the devil said, ‘OK, it’s a deal.’ …”
Rush Limbaugh was all over the Haiti quakes. He hated Obama's calls for donations
Said it would help Obama get relected as a humanitarian.
“we’ve already donated to Haiti. It’s called the U.S. income tax.’
The Center for Immigration Studies, said in response to the quakes
"My guess is that Haiti’s so screwed up because it wasn’t colonized long enough.”
But you can go far back, don't forget US occupied Haiti from 1915-1934
Rev. Thomas May Thorpe in 1898 said "Haiti is all negro, and has been “free” for genrations Cui bono? Their “religion” is a mere mummery, and cannibalism a recognized institutions"
William Seabrook probably took the idea of cannibals in Haiti...which existed as shade to throw since the slave rebellions.
In 1931 Seabrook would write Jungle Ways.
New York and Paris hipsters were all into necrophilia in the 1920s
Seabrook kind of fetishized the voodun religion and though of himself as a black-white man or "becoming arab" (when studying anthropology in Middle East). 
Fun fact:
Seabrook's tails would give birth to the modern "zombie" genre
He writes a story set in 1918 at the ” the Haitian American Sugar Company
Ti-Joseph used black magic to reanimate people from their grave and they followed with a slow shuffle
it's a Haitian myth
The idea of Carib folks eating people is almost five hundered years old
You can read this plaque in Antigua
They were fierce warriors who fought against European colonization..but Carib didn't eat all their enemies 
P. Jean-Baptiste Du Tertre, somewhere around the 1650's would say the Carib people had developed such a taste they could tell the difference between an Englishman and a Spaniard.
There was ritualistic cannibalism in some religions...but the story was used as tool of Othering
In some ways Christopher Columbus himself invented the myth of cannibalism
See he though the Caribs were Mongols, part of the Great Khan somehow blown off course
myths of flesh eating mermaids became tribes that ate each other
Columbus took the work of Leo Weiner an "anthropologist" studying slaves in Ghana
and mixed it in with stories of tribes fighting each other, and mermaids 
And Christopher Columbus got all of this...about the Carib people being cannibals from signs...because nobody could speak each other's language....but he was able to determine these were cannibals of the Great Khan
And since they were Cannibals, it was the Christian thing to enslave and save them.
The Queen issued a proclamation in 1503 when ships returned after Columbus's voyage 
stories of Gilded Age around cannibalism in Haiti trace back to Columbus...
Sven Loven was another "traveler" writer Origins of the Tainan Culture, 1935, noted: "Yet in early times the report was current among the Spaniards, that on Trinidad lived warlike cannibals,
Loven's words are Columbus's words
