Haiti: Roots of Inequalities, the New Social Contract, and Consideration for Effective Reconstruction
Knight Auditorium, Spurlock Museum 600 South Gregory Street Urbana
In the wake of the one-year anniversary of the devastating earthquake in Haiti, alternative strategies for present and future possibilities to rebuild must be considered. In order to reconceptualize Haiti culturally and politically as a nation-state, Claudine Michel will not only explore the indigenous political narratives about this Caribbean island, but will also call to task the international community's role in recognizing Haiti as a foundational cultural, social and political actor on the global stage.
