Description
According to this source, Haitian politics have been marked by a zero-sum game where the more powerful class exploits the less powerful one. As a result, social divisions exist between the impoverished majority and the wealthy few. Indeed, the impoverished majority, for a long time, was required to display their passports, describing them as outsiders who were not entitled to some benefits, privileges, and recognition. A constant crisis is perceived between the two Haitian worlds: Port-au-Prince and Petion-Ville.
