Killing with Kindness: Haiti, International Aid, and NGOs

Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on the aftermath of the 2004 coup and the 2010 earthquake in Haiti, this book explores the effects of official development aid on local NGOs and their communities. It provides in-depth ethnographic comparisons of two women's organizations dedicated to HIV/AIDS prevention, highlighting issues of participation, autonomy, and the restrictive nature of donor policies that hinder these objectives. The analysis sheds light on the complexities of aid relationships and their implications for grassroots empowerment.
