Testing the Chains: Resistance to Slavery in the British West Indies Book

This book provides readers with strong evidence of Canada's implication in the destabilization of Aristide's government, along with roles played by major international actors such as France and the U.S. Although interesting, I wish Engler had spent more time exploring the various Canadian interests in Haiti he briefly addresses in chapter 5. Overall, the book did not leave me with unanswered questions, but rather opened my eyes to further avenues for research, notably on questions of media complicity in shaping narratives and myths of Canadian exceptionalism as it pertains to our foreign and development policies.
