INTRODUCTION The focus of this project is an overview of how communications technology has effected the relationship between Haitians within, and outside Haiti. We will examine how communications technology has both broadened and constrained these relationships, and has facilitated exclusion and inclusion. The technologies we are concerned with here include the World Wide Web, radio, and print media, with consideration to the recent transition of Haitian Creole from a strictly oral to written language. As there are many types of creole we will use the word "Kreyol" in reference to the common language of Haiti spoken by 93% of the population. Although a large number of expatriates live in Dominican Republic, Canada, and France, for the purpose of this paper I will focus on the Haitian American population in the USA. According to 1995 statistics there are 500,000 Haitians residing in the United States, with 200,000 in New York City. (Library of Congress) First we will consider how the writing of Kreyol has impacted Education, and consequently social relationships between different generations and different socio-economic classes in Haiti. We will explore whether this has created or eliminated "disabilities" for different populations inside and outside of Haiti. Next, we will look at the relationship between the technologies we mentioned and production - particularly the way it influences and effects the relationship between the different Haitian populations. We will explore the question of efficiency in this context. Finally, we will summarize these explorations, and outline suggestions for more comprehensive research on this topic.
