Essay / Research Paper Abstract
This 5 page report
discusses the experiences of Haitians that have immigrated to the
United States. The struggles faced by immigrants has always been
one requiring a great deal of personal determination in the midst
of hardship, whether it was the Irish and Italians at the start
of the 20th century or the Central Americans and Haitians in the
last decades of the century. However, Haitians have also had to
deal with more bigotry and racial discrimination than any of the
fair-skinned immigrants of Europe. In addition, they have had to
endure political controversy threatening their ability of
remaining in the U.S. In many ways, they have had to deal with
far greater problems than virtually any other immigrant
population. Bibliography lists 6 sources.

immigrants have made their way to the shores of the United States since the time of the Haitian Revolution almost 200 years ago. But it has been in the
context of their arrival in the United States over the past thirty years that has brought about the greatest level of debate and controversy. In addition, the American Haitian
immigrant population - its identity, customs, mannerisms, fears, hopes, desires, troubles and especially its place in the larger "Black community" has lead, in great part, to the a better understanding
of the diversity of the black population in the United States, dispelling the myth of a monolithic minority culture. Haitian Americans A review of statistics culled from the 1990
census data provides insights on Haitian Americans. It was the first of the American census questionnaires to include an ethnic category for Haitian Americans and included a question asking when
