The New York Times’ “Room for Debate”, 01.14.10: Foreign aid accounts for almost half of Haiti’s budget. And at the top of the country’s complicated and never-ending aid pipeline is Minustah, the U.N. peacekeeping and stabilizing force that has been in the country since 2004.

The World, 11.02.09: Alan Lomax made an impressive career out of recording folk music all over the world; bringing it to American audiences, and preserving it for posterity. But few people heard the recordings that Lomax made in Haiti in the 1930’s. This month (Nov 17th) those Haiti recordings will be released to the public for the first time in the form of a 10-CD box set.

The Virginia Quarterly Review, 07.02.09: When Hurricane Fay came unannounced in the middle of August, Marie Camel’s home, built haphazardly on a hilly unpaved street, quickly flooded. Marie was forced to climb on the roof for safety. By the end of the day, the storm had washed her entire block down the streets of Carrefour Feuilles, leaving many people homeless.
