1947: (Comhaire-Sylvain’s Map of Port-au-Prince — Among Several Printed and Sketched Maps in Comhaire-Sylvain’s Personal Collection She Using Maps Like the 1947 “République d’Haiti Carte-Guide et Plan de Port-au-Prince” to Chart the Overlapping Sociopolitical Cultural and Class Dynamics in 1940s Port-au-Prince — Within the Statistics of Class I Only 6 of the Nearly 10 Percent of the Population Being Wealthy Educated and High Wage Earners, the Remaining 3.7 Percent Consisting “Mostly of Servants and Other Members of Class IV Living Outside of Their Densely Populated Wards”): Among several printed and sketched maps in Comhaire-Sylvain’s personal collection, she used maps like the 1947 “République d’Haiti Carte-Guide et Plan de Port-au-Prince” to chart the overlapping sociopolitical, cultural, and class dynamics in 1940s Port-au-Prince. Within the statistics of Class I, only 6 of the nearly 10 percent of the population were wealthy, educated, and high wage earners. The remaining 3.7 percent consisted mostly of servants and other members of Class IV living outside of their densely populated wards — the elite households contained within them the bodies of the women who served them, the class zones overlapping not at intersections but inside homes.
