Leaving over 250,000 people dead, 300,000 injured, and 1.5 million people homeless, the earthquake has had lasting repercussions on a struggling nation. As the post-earthquake political situation unfolded, Myriam Chancy worked to illuminate on-the-ground concerns, from the vulnerable position of Haitian women to the failures of international aid. Originally presented at invited campus talks, published as columns for a newspaper in Trinidad and Tobago, and circulated in other ways, her essays and creative responses preserve the reactions and urgencies of the years following the disaster. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e In \u003ci\u003eHarvesting Haiti\u003c\/i\u003e, Chancy examines the structures that have resulted in Haiti's post-earthquake conditions and reflects at key points after the earthquake on its effects on vulnerable communities. Her essays make clear the importance of sustaining and supporting the dignity of Haitian lives and of creating a better, contextualized understanding of the issues that mark Haitians’ historical and present realities, from gender parity to the vexed relationship between Haiti and the Dominican Republic. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Introduction \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Part I: Sovereignty and Survival \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e The Aftermath: Responding to the Crisis (2011–\u003cbr\u003e2022) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Marshall Plan for a Haiti at Peace: To Continue or End the Legacy of the Revolution (October 2010) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Submission or Omission: Haiti’\u003cbr\u003es Challenge in Latin America (April 2011) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e A Haiti for Haitians: Ending the Legacy of (Band) Aid (November 2010–\u003cbr\u003eJanuary 2011) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Haiti: Five Years After (January 2, 2015) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Part II: Gender and Equity \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Hearing Our Mothers: Safeguarding Haitian Women’\u003cbr\u003es Representation and Practices of Survival (March 2010) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Cultural Impasse and Structural Change: How to Address Questions of Gender Equity for Haitian Women across Societal Strata (2013) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Love, Debt, and Forgiveness: Women Speaking from the Rubble in Post-earthquake Haiti (2011–\u003cbr\u003e2019) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Women in Haiti: Strength in Spirit and Culture (February 19, 2010) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Part III: Under\/Water \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Under\/Water (Poem)-May 31, 2010 \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ayiti Alive!
