The road in this print runs between Las Cahobas and Hinche, two towns in the Central Plateau of Haiti. Roads like this one were built during the United States occupation of Haiti, which lasted from 1915 to 1934, when much of the work relied on the corvée, a forced labor system for road building that drew heavy criticism at home and abroad. The occupation also brought a rural uprising known as the Caco revolt, and Hinche was among the places where its fighting was concentrated. Looking closely, a viewer can see how a route like this tied isolated farming communities to the capital and to the military that controlled them.
