Though article is from 2006, this is a solid historical overview of colonialism, independence, and how that legacy has led to challenges in the modern era.
Haiti from Encyclopedia Britannica (high school edition)
Look through the article as a whole or use the table of contents to go straight to sections on history, economy, etc.
If the high school edition article is too much to start with, try Haiti from Encyclopedia Britannica (middle school edition) as an intro.
