• W924729992 abstract "It is our pleasure to bring you this special issue of the Journal of Haitian Studies on the topic of changing institutions in Post-Earthquake Haiti. The earthquake that devastated Haiti's capital and surrounding areas in January 2010 is one among many catastrophic events, from hurricanes and floods to oil spills and earthquakes, that have struck around the world in recent years. These disasters remind us unequivocally of our collective vulnerability. In ? at ion- states already compromised by political and economic fragility, the unnatural consequences of natural disasters deepen their impact and heighten the urgency of response. Haiti's case represents a critical example of this, with the desolation of the earthquake compounded by hurricanes, an outbreak of cholera, and a fraught political landscape. It has been almost three years since the earth shook Portau-Prince and its surroundings, and the dust has still not settled. Many questions remain unanswered for Haiti's people, and in particular her most vulnerable populations - children and women living in poverty, displaced in tent cities where their most basic needs for clean water, food, and protection are not being met (see in this issue Satterthwaite & Moses; Schuller). This themed issue of the Journal of Haitian Studies came about following conversations - both formal and informal - about the goings-on in Haiti following the earthquake. One such formal conversation occurred on February 16, 2011, when the Haiti Working Group of the Institute of Human Development and Social Change at New York University hosted a conference entitled Children, Families, and Disaster in Haiti: Interdisciplinary Perspectives on Immediate and Long-Term Responses to Catastrophic Events. The conference raised many questions such as: What is the state of knowledge on the impacts of disaster on children and families? What are optimal models for supporting and responding to children and families in post-disaster contexts? What do we know about how to translate post-disaster responses into more sustainable capabilities in fragile states? Informal conversations between presenters and attendees at the conference began, and continued discussions extended beyond these questions, thorny questions that circled back, time and again, to the politics of engagement at both the local level and on the international stage. Most of all, participants in these conversations wanted to talk about change in Haiti on Haiti's terms, as defined by Haitians. Thus, the articles in this themed issue highlight the importance of examining Haitian issues from beyond the lenses of Western powers, lenses that have been used by scholars, politicians, foreign governments, and foreign interests to intervene in Haiti on their terms. By examining contemporary issues in Haiti from a historical perspective, the contributors emphasize the idea that Haitians are fully aware of the social issues that impact their everyday lives, that they are knowledgeable about methods for handling such situations, and that it is partnership (rather than paternalism) that will instantiate lasting change. The articles in this themed issue draw upon diverse research traditions and methodologies adopted from a range of disciplines, including anthropology, education, human rights law, and sociology. Contributors report from their research, practice, and experiences to advance interdisciplinary thinking about human rights and sustainable reform; the functions (or dysfunctions) of the state apparatus; vulnerable populations (particularly women and children); communities and civic engagement; foreign interests and post-colonial dilemmas; educational reform in fragile contexts; and methodological and ethical challenges of research in disaster contexts. In this way, each article presented in this issue participates in a growing body of scholarship that examines complex social issues using multiple disciplinary lenses (MacLachlan, Garr, & McWha, 2008; National Academy of Sciences, 2004) - a movement within which the Journal of Haitian Studies is well situated. …" @default.
