Jared Diamond on Haiti
Last semester, my students and I read Jared Diamond's book Guns, Germs, and Steel,and we studied, among other things, the way in which Diamond constructs his arguments. In his next book, Collapse,Diamond examines a number of successful and failed societies around the world. In this excerpt, he contrasts the situation in deforested Haiti, with that of its neighbour, the Dominican Republic.
