The Republic of Haiti (Repiblik d'Ayiti ) is a Caribbean country located in the western part of the island Hispaniola. It belongs to the French Antilles, and its official languages are French and Haitian Creole ( kreyel or créole ). The name is of Tarawak origin and means "mountainous land".
It is not an installed term, it is rather a neologism repeated by some scholars to define a mode of colonialism where developed countries and their companies seize the rights to use the cultural and biological acquis of less developed peoples, usually patented their natural products and ancestral knowledge for practical use, and even their genetic codes.
