Chapter Notes — Plummer, Haiti and the Great Powers, 1902-1915 Source note: plummer haiti great powers PDF: ~/dev/rasin/data/sources/secondary_sources/annas_archive_new/plummer-haiti-great-powers-1902-1915.pdf Introduction: The Framework Plummer opens by situating Haiti inside a broader analysis of what she calls the "metropolitan connection" — the web of foreign merchants, bankers, and diplomats who formed the resident foreign community in Port-au-Prince and whose interests both shaped and were shaped by the great powers' competition. Her key methodological claim: the occupation of 1915 cannot be understood by focusing only on Washington. It was the product of interactions among multiple actors — American, French, German, British, Haitian elite, Haitian peasant — and the analysis must track all of them simultaneously.
