1971–1995: (The Final Decades of Dynastic Rule and Transition): The story continues through the reign of Jean-Claude Duvalier, described as “Riding the Tiger” until the 1986 uprising. This was followed by a decade of “Paper and Iron,” where the nation struggled to reconcile new constitutional laws with the old habits of military power. The narrative documents the volatile transition from hereditary rule to the early democratic movements of the 1990s. These chapters illustrate the persistent difficulty of building lasting democratic foundations after thirty years of autocratic rule. The chronological account concludes in 1995, leaving a record of a nation continually fighting to secure its revolutionary promise.
