Built on fieldwork in Haiti after the January 2010 earthquake, this study treats disaster as something manufactured rather than suffered. Sheller shows how the relief effort reorganised movement: an American aircraft carrier reached the coast within seventy-two hours carrying broadcasts and leaflets telling Haitians not to leave, the main airport passed under US military control, and the displaced were held inside the country in camps while foreign staff, freight and capital crossed the borders freely. She names these relations kinopolitical and insists that reconstruction cannot be studied from inside Haiti alone. The money makes the point: about two billion dollars from individual donors and nearly ten billion pledged by governments, with hundreds of thousands still without shelter three years later. Later chapters follow a donated filtration plant and a solar water kiosk into local struggles over control, and Caribbean religious thought is offered as a way to rethink what resilience is supposed to mean.
