The Duvaliers (François and his son Jean-Claude) led Haiti for many years.
About
Graphic Novel:It Takes a Village, Part 1
The Haitian remembers that when he was a child, Haiti "was dying, strangling in the grip of the Duvaliers". The leader of the country, Jean-Claude Duvalier, keeps a private militia called the Tonton Macoutes, who terrorize Guillame's village.
Notes
- Given the Haitian's young age in 1992 (Company Man), it is likely that the events of the It Takes a Village series take place in the early 1980s or late 1970s, and the Duvalier to whom the Haitian refers is Jean-Claude. In an interview, Joe Kelly said the story takes place "about 20 years ago, give or take."
Trivia
- François was often called "Papa Doc", and Jean-Claude was nicknamed "Baby Doc".
- In 1983, Pope John Paul II visited Jean-Claude's country and declared, "Something must change here."
- 15 years after François's death, a mob of Haitians set out to beat the deceased leader's corpse. They were unsuccessful in finding the body, so they beat the body of one of his supporters instead.
