Summary

A study reveals a stark contrast between the national memory of Haiti's Parc National Historique and the lived experiences of its local inhabitants. While the state-sanctioned narrative emphasizes the monuments' significance to the Haitian Revolution, oral histories from Milot residents highlight ongoing colonial legacies and social inequalities. The research uses oral history methodology to uncover these divergent perspectives, offering a nuanced understanding of how heritage is both celebrated and contested in this UNESCO World Heritage Site.
