But as How Human Rights Can Build Haiti demonstrates, the story of lawyers-activists on the ground should give us all hope. They organize demonstrations at the street level, argue court cases at the international level, and conduct social media and lobbying campaigns across the globe. They are making historic claims and achieving real success as they tackle Haiti's cholera epidemic, post-earthquake housing and rape crises, and the Jean-Claude Duvalier prosecution, among other human rights emergencies in Haiti. The only way to transform Haiti's dismal human rights legacy is through a bottom-up social movement, supported by local and international challenges to the status quo. That recipe for reform mirrors the strategy followed by Mario Joseph, Brian Concannon, and their clients and colleagues profiled in this book. Together, Joseph, Concannon, and their allies represent Haiti's best hope to escape the cycle of disaster, corruption, and violence that has characterized the country's two-hundred-year history. At the same time, their efforts are creating a template for a new and more effective human rights-focused strategy to turn around failed states and end global poverty"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 7 $a HISTORY / Caribbean & West Indies / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a POLITICAL SCIENCE / International Relations / General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a LAW / International. $2 bisacsh 650 0 $a Human rights $z Haiti. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008122074 650 0 $a Human rights workers $z Haiti. 650 0 $a Civil rights lawyers $z Haiti. 650 7 $a Civil rights lawyers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01893265 650 7 $a Human rights. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963285 650 7 $a Human rights workers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00963353 651 7 $a Haiti. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205135 856 42 $3 Cover image $u http://www.netread.com/jcusers/1304/2846463/image/lgcover.4780022.jpg 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191213020043.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9D9BAFAAF1E611E78A18091E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
