RENÉ PRÉVAL, Haiti's president, has been widely criticised for not taking a more visible and active leadership role following the devastating earthquake that struck the country in January. On November 28th, Haitians will select his successor in a vote that is set to proceed on schedule despite a cholera epidemic that is now spreading rapidly.

The Americas section also takes stock of a wave of expropriations in Venezuela, the Peruvian government's crackdown on wildcat miners and Mexico's booming film industry.(0)

Mr Jean lives in the United States.(9)
