Description
Fault Lines: A searing account of Haiti's first year after the devastating 2010 earthquake. Beverly Bell explores how strong communities and an age-old gift culture have helped Haitians survive in the wake of unimaginable disaster, one that compounded preexisting social and economic distress. The book examines the history that caused such destruction and scrutinizes grassroots organizing for a more just and equitable country. Through interviews with over 100 Haitians, historical analysis, and investigative journalism, Bell offers rich perspectives on this often-misunderstood nation. The book also critiques U.S. foreign policy, emergency aid, development approaches, and disaster capitalism, providing a nuanced understanding of the complex issues at play.
