In this ethnography of violence, the author explores the traumas of Haitian victims whose experiences were denied by U.S. officials and recognized only selectively by other humanitarian providers. Using first-person accounts from women survivors, she 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. -- Publisher description. 650 0 $a Democratization $z Haiti. 650 0 $a Political violence $z Haiti. 650 0 $a Humanitarian assistance $z Haiti. 650 0 $a Intervention (International law) 651 0 $a Haiti $x Politics and government $y 1986- 830 0 $a California series in public anthropology ; $v 22. 941 $a 3 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160825074029.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20120615013019.0 952 $l UQAX771 $d 20110818011212.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=73C81E2CC95F11E0835110C26AFF544E 994 $a C0 $b JIDInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
