Jean-Bertrand Aristide was a priest who became a politician. He defended the working class and went onto become the president of Haiti. A number of coups led to his eventual exile. Bragg's subsequent visits to Haiti allowed him to witness the incredible poverty and violence that was caused by Aristide's enemies, as well as his followers.
