Vincent Joos All Books Urban Dwellings sku-616200377

Vincent Joos's Urban Dwellings, Haitian Citizenships: Housing, Memory, and Daily Life in Haiti is a hardcover in the Critical Caribbean Studies series, listed under All Books as sku-616200377. It examines the failed international reconstruction of Port-au-Prince after the 2010 earthquake and failures of international aid alongside Haitian-led reconstruction and economic practices. The book argues that development promoted by international agencies makes impermanence and instability institutional, while Haitians transform the city to create belonging and forms of citizenship rooted in resistance to extractive economies. It considers indigenous uses of the cityscape, the urbanization of the countryside and the violence of urban planning, drawing on failed industrial projects in Haitian provinces and everyday life in Port-au-Prince to consider what it means to dwell in a post-disaster city.You may also like Katherine Balch Musica Spolia flute All Books sku-3745076103.
