Humanitarian Aftershocks In Haiti - 9780813574240

Mark Schuller led an independent study of eight displaced-persons camps in Haiti, compiling more than 150 interviews ranging from Haitian front-line workers and camp directors to foreign humanitarians and many earthquake victims. The result is an insightful account of why the multi-billion-dollar aid response to the Haitian earthquake triggered a range of unintended consequences, rupturing social and cultural institutions and actually increasing violence, especially against women.
