Hispaniola: Haiti and the Dominican Republic--One Island, Two Different Countries

Join ACE members and guests as we again focus on an international topic. Heather Hodges, President and Ambassador-in-Residence, Cleveland Council on World Affairs, will moderate the discussion. As in earlier presentations, we will look at the past, present, and future of Haiti and the Dominican Republic. You will learn about how one country became a prime vacation destination and the other a "failed state."

Two experts will provide the history and background and bring their insight to this complex situation:

-Jose Sola, PhD, Associate Professor of History, Cleveland State University

-Martha Santos, PhD, Associate Professor Of History, University of Akron
