A small piece of France in North America

Navassa, a small island located in the Caribbean Sea between Jamaica and Haiti, south of Cuba, contributed to the rise of the United States as a global power. In Spotlight on Philately, Ken Lawrence focuses on the history and elusive postal history of Navassa, as well as the United States’ and Haiti’s claims to it.
