Farewell, Fred Voodoo: A Letter from Haiti by Amy Wilentz

2.0

I can't decide if I liked it or not. It reads like a memoir and is a page turner, but at the same time, I'm not sure what the author wanted the reader to take away. Wilentz is very dismissive of most foreigners in Haiti that seem to come just to gawk at suffering, despite being a foreigner in Haiti just there to gawk at the suffering. The author does do a good job of briefing the history of Haiti and the current situation, but I can't help but wonder what the point of the book was.
