Book Synopsis Visualizing Haiti in U.S. Culture, 1910–1950 by : Lindsay J Twa
Download or read book Visualizing Haiti in U.S. Culture, 1910–1950 written by Lindsay J Twa and published by Ashgate Publishing, Ltd.. This book was released on 2014-05-28 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the 1910s until the 1950s the Caribbean nation of Haiti drew the attention of many U.S. literary and artistic luminaries, yet while significant studies have been published on Haiti's history, none analyze visual representations with any depth. This book argues that choosing Haiti as subject matter was a highly charged decision by American artists to use their artwork to engage racial, social, and political issues. Twa scrutinizes photographs, illustrations, paintings, and theatre as well as textual and archival sources.

Book Synopsis Haiti and the Americas by : Carla Calarge
Download or read book Haiti and the Americas written by Carla Calarge and published by Univ. Press of Mississippi. This book was released on 2013-05 with total page 252 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Haiti has long played an important role in global perception of the western hemisphere, but ideas about Haiti often appear paradoxical. Is it a land of tyranny and oppression or a beacon of freedom as site of the world's only successful slave revolution? A bastion of devilish practices or a devoutly religious island? Does its status as the second independent nation in the hemisphere give it special lessons to teach about postcolonialism, or is its main lesson one of failure? Haiti and the Americas brings together an interdisciplinary group of essays to examine the influence of Haiti throughout the hemisphere, to contextualize the ways that Haiti has been represented over time, and to look at Haiti's own cultural expressions in order to think about alternative ways of imagining its culture and history. Thinking about Haiti requires breaking through a thick layer of stereotypes. Haiti is often represented as the region's nadir of poverty, of political dysfunction, and of savagery. Contemporary media coverage fits very easily into the narrative of Haiti as a dependent nation, unable to govern or even fend for itself, a site of lawlessness that is in need of more powerful neighbors to take control. Essayists in Haiti and the Americas present a fuller picture developing approaches that can account for the complexity of Haitian history and culture.

Book Synopsis The Heart of Haiti by : Andrea Baldeck
Download or read book The Heart of Haiti written by Andrea Baldeck and published by University of Pennsylvania Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology. This book was released on 2006 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "More than two centuries since enslaved laborers of West African descent evicted French colonials from Haiti's troubled republic, the second-oldest in the western hemisphere, the lot of rural Haitians has changed little. Life is tied to the exhausted land, worked with hoe to the cycle of seasons. One's world is that which can be taken in from the top of the highest mountain. The Artibonite Valley is one such microcosm, in the geographic heart of Haiti, where a river's liquid artery sustains 200,000 inhabitants on subsistence farms. Materially poor but rich in culture, the Haitians live with dignity in the face of deprivation, find solace in a spiritual synthesis of voudoun and Christianity, and season their talk with trenchant proverbs." "Andrea Baldeck came to know this world as a volunteer physician on several trips to the valley's Hopital Albert Schweitner during the 1980s, returning as a photographer in the mid-90s with the opportunity to see the valley and interact with its people in a new and more extensive way. In permitting their images to be taken they were giving much, and in their faces they revealed much - hope, resignation, forbearance, pride, strength, and love." --Book Jacket.

Book Synopsis Bordering the Imaginary by : Abigail Lapin Dardashti
Download or read book Bordering the Imaginary written by Abigail Lapin Dardashti and published by BRIC House. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bordering the Imaginary: Art from the Dominican Republic, Haiti, and their Diasporas is an exhibition that investigates the complicated relationship between the Dominican Republic and Haiti—two nations that share a single island. The exhibition features work in a wide array of media by 19 Dominican and Haitian artists, based in both their native countries and in the United States. The artists draw on their experiences of difference, movement, and immigration to create a collective visual narrative that exposes inequalities and stereotypes of race, gender, and sexuality, which have plagued the island since the 15th century. Their work also displays the vitality of the visual arts in their communities. Through the exhibition and exhibition catalogue, Bordering the Imaginary reveals the complexities of a historically shifting transnational border space and the formation of distinct but intertwined nations.

Download or read book Fault Lines written by Beverly Bell and published by Cornell University Press. This book was released on 2013-05-17 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beverly Bell, an activist and award-winning writer, has dedicated her life to working for democracy, women's rights, and economic justice in Haiti and elsewhere. Since the 7.0 magnitude earthquake of January 12, 2010, that struck the island nation, killing more than a quarter-million people and leaving another two million Haitians homeless, Bell has spent much of her time in Haiti. Her new book, Fault Lines, is a searing account of the first year after the earthquake. Bell explores how strong communities and an age-old gift culture have helped Haitians survive in the wake of an unimaginable disaster, one that only compounded the preexisting social and economic distress of their society. The book examines the history that caused such astronomical destruction. It also draws in theories of resistance and social movements to scrutinize grassroots organizing for a more just and equitable country. Fault Lines offers rich perspectives rarely seen outside Haiti. Readers accompany the author through displaced persons camps, shantytowns, and rural villages, where they get a view that defies the stereotype of Haiti as a lost nation of victims. Street journals impart the author's intimate knowledge of the country, which spans thirty-five years. Fault Lines also combines excerpts of more than one hundred interviews with Haitians, historical and political analysis, and investigative journalism. Fault Lines includes twelve photos from the year following the 2010 earthquake. Bell also investigates and critiques U.S. foreign policy, emergency aid, standard development approaches, the role of nongovernmental organizations, and disaster capitalism. Woven through the text are comparisons to the crisis and cultural resistance in Bell's home city of New Orleans, when the levees broke in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Ultimately a tale of hope, Fault Lines will give readers a new understanding of daily life, structural challenges, and collective dreams in one of the world's most complex countries.
Book Synopsis Witness to History by : Thony Belizaire
Download or read book Witness to History written by Thony Belizaire and published by Seven Stories Press. This book was released on 2015-12-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From bloodshed on the Ruelle Vaillant in November 1987, as the first presidential elections ended, to the bloody coup d’état by the army against President Jean-Bertrand Aristide in September 1991; from the antigovernment protests of November 2002, to the violent earthquake that hit the Haitian capital in January 2010, leaving in its wake over 250,000 dead and a million homeless; from the spectacular return throughout 2011 of ex-president-for-life Jean-Claude Duvalier and ex-president Jean-Bertrand Aristide, to the inauguration of newly elected president Michel Martelly—these are just a few of the images of devastation and endurance in Thony Belizaire—one man with a camera covering a small nation and a world of trouble. The photographs collected in Thony Belizaire are notable, as Raoul Peck notes in his foreword, “for their violence, their realism, their poetry.” These 100 full-color images are joined here by accompanying text the author was writing for this book right up to his untimely death. From the Hardcover edition.
Download or read book The Haitians written by Jean Casimir and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2020-09-29 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this sweeping history, leading Haitian intellectual Jean Casimir argues that the story of Haiti should not begin with the usual image of Saint-Domingue as the richest colony of the eighteenth century. Rather, it begins with a reconstruction of how individuals from Africa, in the midst of the golden age of imperialism, created a sovereign society based on political imagination and a radical rejection of the colonial order, persisting even through the U.S. occupation in 1915. The Haitians also critically retheorizes the very nature of slavery, colonialism, and sovereignty. Here, Casimir centers the perspectives of Haiti's moun andeyo—the largely African-descended rural peasantry. Asking how these systematically marginalized and silenced people survived in the face of almost complete political disenfranchisement, Casimir identifies what he calls a counter-plantation system. Derived from Caribbean political and cultural practices, the counter-plantation encompassed consistent reliance on small-scale landholding. Casimir shows how lakou, small plots of land often inhabited by generations of the same family, were and continue to be sites of resistance even in the face of structural disadvantages originating in colonial times, some of which continue to be maintained by the Haitian government with support from outside powers.
