This present research has investigated the perceptions of Haitians regarding social, economic and environmental impacts which tourism development might have in rural area of Haiti. Three sites were chosen as low, moderate and high regarding their increased flow of visitors annually. The researcher used the ethnographer's approach where a domain analysis was built by gathering data from local people. This domain analysis was then tested by interviewing more local people. A population of eighty vacationers (adults, students and professionals) randomly chosen was surveyed. Nonparametric tests were used to analyze collected data during the summer of 2003 in Haiti. The perceptions of locals become more positive (or negative) with the increased flow of visitors. The perceptions of vacationers about social impacts of tourism were more negative among older vacationers rather than younger vacationers. Locals and vacationers had different perceptions toward the future development of tourism in rural Haiti. / Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Management

This thesis examines the role of Christian idioms and practices in the self-fashioning of second generation Haitians of Protestant faith in Montreal. These members of Baptist and Pentecostal Haitian Churches encounter the particular challenges of combining multiple affiliations as they face racism and pressures to assimilate to the mainstream Quebecois society. Taking this context into account, I examine how young Protestants use and subvert religious symbols and practices in constructing their identity, and how they negotiate their position in their world defending themselves against denigrating stereotypes. My research explores how they undertake their personal as well as collective salvation through the work of memory, a self-righteous lifestyle, an intimate relationship with God as well as through the elaboration of their Christian mission.
