Container-based sanitation: assessing costs and effectiveness of excreta management in Cap Haitien, Haiti
Tilmans et al. · 2015 · Environment and Urbanization 27(1), 89-104
Where sewers cannot be laid and pit latrines will not work, one option is to catch waste in sealed containers and haul it away to a treatment site.
DOI · Journal article
Where sewers cannot be laid and pit latrines will not work, one option is to catch waste in sealed containers and haul it away to a treatment site. Tilmans and colleagues report on a pilot of that arrangement, delivered to households in Cap Haitien.
Their measurements cover a densely built informal settlement: how much excreta the population produces in a week, what share of it is safely carried off by household and shared container toilets, and what the operation costs. Unmanaged faeces dropped by roughly three and a half times, and among households on the service, open defecation and bagged waste thrown into the street all but disappeared.
Costs ran above those of conventional piped sewerage at scale, though the authors expect that gap to narrow as such services grow. They end by weighing what it would take for planners and policymakers to treat container systems as one of the standard choices available to fast-growing cities.

Plummer · 2015 · Journal of Haitian Studies 21(2), 68-87
A movement built on the demand for black self-determination might seem to have had little to offer a country independent since 1804. Plummer shows why the American occupation changed the equation.
Journal article
A movement built on the demand for black self-determination might seem to have had little to offer a country independent since 1804. Plummer shows why the American occupation changed the equation. Marines landed in 1915 and stayed two decades, importing segregation and fighting a guerrilla war in the countryside, while at Versailles the United States helped block a clause against racial discrimination.
Opposition converged from unexpected directions. James Weldon Johnson of the NAACP wrote to Marcus Garvey in 1920 urging him to condemn the intervention — a collaboration scholars have assumed the rivalry between them ruled out — and the UNIA had in fact already taken up the cause. What Garveyism offered in Haiti, Plummer argues, was a language for valuing Vodou, Creole and rural custom and for widening political participation. Few in number, Haitian Garveyites nonetheless fed the indigenist current and the middle-class politics that outlasted the occupation.

Imperial Idols: French and UNITED STATES Revenants in Haitian Vodou

Makandal escaping as a bird, a Macoute leaving jail as a dog, Cacos evading the Marines in animal form: shape-shifting has long served in Haiti as a story about sovereignty held onto under occupation.
DOI · Journal article
Makandal escaping as a bird, a Macoute leaving jail as a dog, Cacos evading the Marines in animal form: shape-shifting has long served in Haiti as a story about sovereignty held onto under occupation. Derby asks where such techniques came from, and answers that they were not purely African inheritances. Sorcery, she argues, worked partly by capturing the aura of the foreign.
Two episodes carry the case. The lougawou or baka, usually traced to West African secret societies, also draws on French country lore about demonic animals; and the occultism circulating during the American occupation of 1915 to 1934 left its mark, up to and including US Marines installed in the pantheon as fearsome lwa. Built on shape-shifter narratives gathered in Haiti and the Dominican Republic between 2008 and 2013, the essay describes a traffic in otherness that sits awkwardly beside Haiti's official nationalism.
Liberal Trade in the Postcolonial Americas: Haitian Leaders and British Agents, 1806–1813

Journal article
Diplomatically quarantined for most of the nineteenth century, Haiti nonetheless supplied a large share of the world's coffee and needed manufactured goods it could not produce. Pierre examines how the country's rulers, its propertied classes and the mass of people shut out of the global market met the loosening of trade rules in the postcolonial Americas.
Reading British correspondence and ledgers, the article follows dealings between Christophe and Pétion and merchants and naval officers such as Downie and Robert Sutherland during the Napoleonic wars. British agents described both Haitian leaders as capable and eager for English commerce — assessments at odds with the racial contempt of official language at the time — while using their ties to the navy and government to pull Haitian trade toward London. The absence of any treaty, Pierre argues, is precisely what made lopsided bargains possible, and places Haiti at the front of Atlantic economic liberalism rather than outside it.

The Cry of History: Juste Chanlatte and the Unsettling (Presence) of Race in Early Haitian Literature
Bongie · 2015 · MLN 130(4), 807-835
Juste Chanlatte, among the first authors published in independent Haiti, left almost no biographical trace beyond hostile asides in nineteenth-century histories.
Journal article
Juste Chanlatte, among the first authors published in independent Haiti, left almost no biographical trace beyond hostile asides in nineteenth-century histories. Bongie sets out to recover him as a central figure in the writing of the years just after 1804, when a French-educated man of colour who had manoeuvred through the revolution turned to composing for the new state.
The essay reads Chanlatte's pamphlets and his Cri de la nature alongside Vastey, tracing a shared vocabulary of veils and unveiling and a counter-history answering European accounts of the colony's destruction. What holds Bongie's attention is how unstable race becomes in these texts, held in becoming rather than fixed.
The second half turns to what happened next. A minor French abolitionist writer reissued Chanlatte's book in Paris under his own framing, unprompted, and Bongie reads the editorial changes, most trivial and one decisive, as an exercise of power that shuts down the questions the Haitian original had opened.

The Visual Rhetoric of 'Voluntourists' and Aid Workers in Post-Earthquake Haiti
Garland · 2015 · Social and Economic Studies 64(3/4), 79-102
After the earthquake of January 2010, non-governmental organizations arrived in Haiti in extraordinary numbers, bringing with them foreigners who took up every sort of job and project.
Journal article
After the earthquake of January 2010, non-governmental organizations arrived in Haiti in extraordinary numbers, bringing with them foreigners who took up every sort of job and project. Photography became one of the sector's working tools, a means for organizations large and small to raise money and draw attention to what they were doing.
Garland examines how that imagery operates. The essay treats the post-earthquake NGO world as a version of a tourism boom, built around the voluntourist who spends a stretch of time in the country, records the stay on a phone or a digital camera, and pushes the results out across social media. Those pictures, together with others made by foreign visitors, are then set against a much older habit of depicting Haiti and the Caribbean, and against the part tourism has played in Haitian history.

Journal article
Garrigus revives a comparative approach that historians largely abandoned decades ago, once the field settled on economics and demography as the forces shaping the lives of free and enslaved people of African descent more than European religious or legal traditions. That consensus cannot explain why colonies with matching economies and populations produced unlike racial orders.
He asks why Jamaica's racial rules stayed looser than Saint-Domingue's. Wealthy free families of color in Jamaica could obtain privileges setting them above other free people of color; in Saint-Domingue after 1770, law filed even rich freeborn families under the label affranchis, ex-slaves.
Three causes carry the explanation. Quarrels with Versailles over military service and colonial loyalty after 1763 produced a crisis of imperial identity with no Jamaican counterpart; friction among whites ran higher in the French colony; and the two elites worked through different legal institutions, which shaped whether class or racial labeling prevailed in dealings with the richest free colored planters.

In the first half of the nineteenth century most African Americans rejected the American Colonization Society's schemes for settling Black Americans in Africa, and said so loudly. Bourhis-Mariotti attends instead to the minority who broke with that consensus and argued for an emigration of their own choosing, to territories much nearer at hand.
The article follows the genesis and development of what she calls Haitian propaganda: where the campaign came from, how its arguments changed, and how it reached its height in the 1850s.
The campaign produced results on the ground. Between 1859 and 1862 several thousand free and recently emancipated Black Americans left for Haiti, the outcome toward which decades of argument had been building.

'So Much the Worse for the Whites': Dialectics of the Haitian Revolution
Ciccariello-Maher · 2014 · Journal of French and Francophone Philosophy 22(1), 19-39

DOI · Journal article
Ciccariello-Maher begins with Susan Buck-Morss's influential treatment of Hegel and Haiti, then pushes past it toward larger questions about dialectics and the universal that the Haitian Revolution forces open.
Reading with C.L.R. James's The Black Jacobins in hand, he identifies what he calls ironic silences in her argument. Chief among them is the near-absence of Jean-Jacques Dessalines, who succeeded Toussaint, and whom Ciccariello-Maher restores to the center of the account. Along with that restoration comes a claim about method: struggles fought in the name of particular identities are not obstacles to the universal but part of how it gets made.
The final move brings in Frantz Fanon, whose rewriting of Hegel's master-slave relation drops out of Buck-Morss's account entirely. Taken up as a corrective, Fanon allows the question of progress toward the universal to be posed again in dialectical terms that have been decolonized.

DOI · Journal article
Haitian heads of state are remembered, when remembered at all, as a long succession of failures and thieves. Destin finds that improbable across two centuries and more than fifty presidencies, and sets out to name what some of them built.
Seven are examined. Christophe raised the Citadelle Laferriere and Sans-Souci; Boyer joined the northern kingdom to the southern republic; Geffrard secured recognition from Lincoln's Washington and restored relations with Rome; Salomon founded the national bank and the postal service; Hyppolite introduced the telephone and the iron market at Port-au-Prince; Estime opened the civil service to Haitians rising out of the peasantry; Magloire oversaw the Peligre dam and the national stadium.
Each represents, in Destin's argument, a moment when the Haitian state functioned. That these achievements survive as footnotes, or as popular songs and nicknames, is the pattern he wants readers to notice.
