In this remarkable ethnography of violence, Erica Caple James explores the traumas of Haitian victims whose experiences were denied by U.S. officials and recognized only selectively by other humanitarian providers. Using vivid first-person accounts from women survivors, James raises important new questions about humanitarian aid, structural violence, and political insecurity. She discusses the politics of postconflict assistance to Haiti and the challenges of promoting democracy, human rights, and justice in societies that experience chronic insecurity. Similarly, she finds that efforts to promote political development and psychosocial rehabilitation may fail because of competition, strife, and corruption among the individuals and institutions that implement such initiatives.California Series in Public AnthropologyViolence, trauma, and intervention in HaitiDemocratizationHaitiPolitical violenceHaitiHumanitarian assistanceHaitiIntervention (International law)HaitiPolitics and government1986-abuse of power.activists.anthropology.cia intervention.colonialism.democracy.ethics.ethnography.female survivors.foreign aid.french colony.government corruption.haiti.haitian victims.history.human rights.humanitarian aid.humanitarian mission.humanitarian organizations.humanitarian.imperialism.international aid.justice.military coup.moral anthropology.nonfiction.political insecurity.politics.poverty.social issues.social science.structural violence.trauma.violence against women.violence.DemocratizationPolitical violenceHumanitarian assistanceIntervention (International law)320.97294James Erica Caple1966-1152978MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910784904003321Democratic insecurities2697140UNINA
