1957–1995: (Iconography of the Duvalier Dynasty and its Aftermath): The latter portion of the volume contains extensive imagery related to the thirty-year rule of the Duvalier family. Francois Duvalier is depicted at his desk, surrounded by his “Macoutes,” and eventually passing power to his son, Jean-Claude. The collection documents the darker aspects of this era, including the execution of Jérémie invaders and Jean-Claudist memorabilia. The visual narrative transitions into the “Paper and Iron” era with posters for AIDS awareness and Jean-Claude Duvalier’s eventual flight from the country. The final cultural entries focus on spiritual life, featuring images of an “Ounfo” and Voodoo sacred objects.
