It describes the failures of international aid in Haiti while it analyzes examples of Haitian-based reconstruction and economic practices. By interrogating the relationship between indigenous uses of the cityscape and the urbanization of the countryside within a framework that centers on the violence of urban planning, the book shows that the forms of economic development promoted by international agencies institutionalize impermanence and instability. Conversely, it shows how everyday Haitians use and transform the city to create spaces of belonging and forms of citizenship anchored in a long history of resistance to extractive economies. Taking readers into the remnants of failed industrial projects in Haitian provinces and into the streets, rubble, and homes of Port-au-Prince, this book reflects on the possibilities and meanings of dwelling in post-disaster urban landscapes.Critical Caribbean StudiesEarthquake reliefHaitiHistory21st centuryInfrastructure (Economics)HaitiHousingHaitiHaiti Earthquake, Haiti, 2010Social aspectsHaiti Earthquake, Haiti, 2010Economic aspectsHaitiEconomic conditions21st centuryHaitiSocial conditions21st centuryurban planning, Haiti, urban dwellings, neighborhoods, culture, earthquake, disaster relief, shelter, Port-au-Prince, UN, NGO, 2010 earthquake, Caribbean studies, housing, memory, daily life, post-disaster, urban studies, economic development, international aid, Northern Haiti, shotgun neighborhood, indigenous urbanization.Earthquake reliefHistoryInfrastructure (Economics)HousingHaiti Earthquake, Haiti, 2010Social aspects.Haiti Earthquake, Haiti, 2010Economic aspects.307.33609729452Joos Vincent1678774MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910824966903321Urban dwellings, Haitian citizenships4046617UNINA
