Description
This volume critically examines the politics of Haiti's past - its 'facts and fables' - and how these narratives illuminate our understanding of the domestic and transnational structures in place that have contributed to Haitian underdevelopment, a persistent image of deviance, and also cultural survival in the 20th and 21st centuries. Moreover, the book examines the challenges and benefits of strategic recovery operations during the post-earthquake period in Haiti.
