Summary
Haiti's identity and national heritage, shaped by its revolutionary history as the world's first Black republic, are explored through an analysis of the preservation processes of its historical monuments between 1940 and 1990. The study reveals how the institutionalization and designation of these sites, including the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Parc National Historique – Citadel, Sans Souci, Ramiers (PNH-CSSR), reflected the political significance of cultural heritage in post-independence Haiti. By examining the construction of these fortifications and the evolution of preservation policies, the research uncovers the foundations of Haitian national identity and the development of its cultural landscape, offering insights into the interplay between state formation, heritage conservation, and collective memory.
