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. 410 0$aCalifornia Series in Public Anthropology 517 3 $aViolence, trauma, and intervention in Haiti 606 $aDemocratization$zHaiti 606 $aPolitical violence$zHaiti 606 $aHumanitarian assistance$zHaiti 606 $aIntervention (International law) 607 $aHaiti$xPolitics and government$y1986- 615 0$aDemocratization 615 0$aPolitical violence 615 0$aHumanitarian assistance 615 0$aIntervention (International law) 676 $a320.97294 700 $aJames$b Erica Caple$f1966-$01152978 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809382803321 996 $aDemocratic insecurities$92697140 997 $aUNINA
