A true descent into hell, Crucified in Haiti portrays reality in the prisons of the Duvalier regime as experienced by the nameless narrator tortured in Haiti, under the Duvalier dictatorship. Etienne's unique writing style unites with the harsh political violence of the country to denounce its barbarism, its tyranny, its voodoo, its feudalism, its misery and its violence, as rnaintained by Western corruption.
Suffering and the narrator, like the people of his country, are one : lie is tortured, agonizing, desperate, humiliated. This narrative, where the physical and spiritual world collide, is the narrator's lament, a final plea to humanity.
