Abstract: How does one explain Haiti? What is Haiti? Haiti is the eldest daughter of France and Africa. It is a place of beauty, romance, mystery, kindness, humor, selfishness, betrayal, cruelty, bloodshed, hunger and poverty. It is a closed and withdrawn society whose apartness, unlike any other in New World, rejects its European roots". Nice passage, isn't it? Well, those of you who know my work may have guessed that I am trying to trick you. These words are not mine. They constitute the very first paragraph of Writte… Show more

“…Contudo, Price-Mars põe tais argumentos universalistas a serviço da compreensão e da valorização da particularidade da cultura popular haitiana, para mostrar que ela não é uma aberração, ou uma "monstruosa anomalia" (Nesbitt, 2013), como diziam tantos estrangeiros e haitianos de elite (ver Hurbon, 1987b;Polyné, 2013;Trouillot, M.-R., 1990b). Price-Mars não faz generalizações a partir do Haiti; ele aplica generalizações ao Haiti para tornar sua particularidade ordinária, não excepcional.…”

“…Mintz's former student Trouillot (1990) would later sum up the gist of this mismatch between a discipline‐oriented toward the “savage slot” and the socio‐cultural realities of the contemporary Caribbean: it was this seeming conjunction of the “odd” and the “ordinary” that had militated, for so long, against any concerted effort to develop a Caribbeanist subdiscipline in our field. By the time Trouillot (1992) came to write the first‐ever essay on Caribbean anthropology in the disciplinary augury Annual Review of Anthropology , this had begun to change —less so, however, because the Caribbean had somehow changed (which it, of course, had), but because anthropologists had come to abandon their discipline's former fixation on an object of study characterized by (however fictitious) remoteness, isolation, homogeneity, and timeless “authentic primitivity.” “When E.B.…”

“…Deadly River exposes how hierarchies of life structure the speed and efficacy of response to human emergencies; however, a more sustained framing of the ways Haiti has come to be seen as exceptional, as the most pitiable and unlucky state in the world, would have enhanced Frerichs' analysis (Trouillot 1990, Benedicty-Kokken et al 2016. Meaningful discussion of Haiti's history as the first free slave republic, and of the profound role that race and racialization play in the ways non-Haitians continue to imagine and narrate Haiti and its crises would bolster Frerichs' points about the "cheapness" of Haitian lives.…”
