1971–1986: (The Regime of Jean-Claude ‘Baby Doc’ Duvalier): Described as “Riding the Tiger,” this fifteen-year period covers the presidency of Jean-Claude Duvalier. The authors analyze the continuation of the Duvalierist system under a younger leader and the gradual erosion of the regime’s stability. It chronicles the increasing social unrest and international pressure that eventually led to the collapse of the dynasty in 1986. The text focuses on the transition from a period of stagnation to the explosive popular movements that forced the Duvaliers into exile. This era marks the end of nearly three decades of hereditary dictatorship in Haiti.
