Politics, Development, and Discourse in Port-Au-Prince What’s Wrong with Haiti? Politics, Development, and Discourse in Port-au-Prince by Alison C. Joersz A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Anthropology) in the University of Michigan 2016 Doctoral Committee: Professor Stuart Kirsch, Co-Chair Associate Professor Michael P. Lempert, Co-Chair Assistant Professor Robert S. Jansen Professor Alaina M. Lemon Professor Kristina S. Wirtz, Western Michigan University ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Completing this dissertation was a long, and often difficult journey. It was one supported by the assistance of many individuals and institutions in a variety of forms. They are too numerable to be named individually yet I am eternally grateful for each and every one of them, no matter how big or small the assistance was. The research and writing for this project was generously supported by fellowships from University of Michigan’s International Institute, Rackham Graduate School, the Department of Anthropology, the Institute for Research on Women and Gender, and the Institute for the Humanities. Along the way, I received considerable scholarly advice, encouragement, and support from mentors, advisors, instructors, and colleagues alike, including my entire committee – Stuart Kirsch, Michael Lempert, Kristina Wirtz, Alaina Lemon, and Rob Jansen – as well as:Mark Schuller, Chelsey Kivland, Richard Turits, Maxwell Owusu, Sophonie Joseph, Athena Kolbe, Ling Lab participants, Michicagoan attendees (2013), my fellow IRWG Community of Scholars participants (2014), and Humanities Institute scholars (2014-15). Living in Haiti and learning from those around me was not always an easy process yet it was made that much easier and enjoyable by the many generous Haitians and expatriates who went out of their way to help a stumbling and sometimes incoherent blan. I especially want to thank those that welcomed me into their lives and willingly put up with my presence and questions. There are far too many individuals to name but suffice to say that I am deeply grateful ii for every moment of assistance, especially the many small conversations that ultimately contributed the most to my understanding of Haitian society and my research data. Donald, Etzer, and Papouche were particularly helpful during a time when my Kreyòl language abilities were still limited and my knowledge of Haitian culture and navigating Port-au-Prince was sketchy at best. Fellow scholars and activists working in the country, including Rachelle Doucet, Talitha, Sophonie, Athena, Marie, Alexis, Meagan, Kristen & Wawa, among others, all helped me immensely in thinking through the observations I was making at the time and pointed me in new and fruitful directions when I most needed them. I also want to thank my Haitian students at the Institute for Social Work and Social Sciences, who both knowingly and unknowingly assisted in “thinking through” the information I had collected and observations I had made in the preceding years. I am especially grateful to Louiceus, Biglo, and Francillon for the various ways in which they assisted me in processing my research data, including transcription and interpretation assistance. It is to the members at both organizations with which I worked that my deepest gratitude is owed. Without your willing participation and support, this project would not have been possible. Regarding Chapter 5, I want to thank the editorial staff, and anonymous reviewers at the Journal of Linguistic Anthropology who were all crucial in helping to construct that particular chapter. I would also like to thank Don Kato and the rest of the Brothers Posse crew for granting permission to extensively quote their song “Aloral.” I am also grateful to Jerry Bousiquot (Bousiko) and Frantz Duval at Le Nouvelliste for allowing reproduction of the cartoon image featured in the chapter. Last but not least, I would like to thank my family for their unwavering support and encouragement, especially my parents, my daughter Naël, and my loving partner Jason. Even at iii times when it seemed like an insurmountable obstacle, you encouraged me to keep going. For that, I thank you. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS ACKNOWLEDGMENTS .................................................................................................................ii LIST OF TRANSCRIPTS

  • Voting for Hope Elections in Haiti
    COMMENTARY Voting for hope Elections in Haiti Peter Hallward ate in the night of 29 February 2004, after weeks of confusion and uncertainty, the enemies of Haitiʼs president Jean-Bertrand Aristide forced him into exile Lfor the second time. There was plenty of ground for confusion. Although twice elected with landslide majorities, by 2004 Aristide was routinely identified as an enemy of democracy. Although political violence declined dramatically during his years in office, he was just as regularly condemned as an enemy of human rights. Although he was prepared to make far-reaching compromises with his opponents, he was attacked as intolerant of dissent. Although still immensely popular among the poor, he was derided as aloof and corrupt. And although his enemies presented themselves as the friends of democracy, pluralism and civil society, the only way they could get rid of their nemesis was through foreign intervention and military force. Four times postponed, the election of Aristideʼs successor finally took place a few months ago, in February 2006. These elections were supposed to clear up the confusion of 2004 once and for all. With Aristide safely out of the picture, they were supposed to show how his violent and illegal expulsion had actually been a victory for democracy. With his Fanmi Lavalas party broken and divided, they were intended to give the true friends of pluralism and civil society that democratic mandate they had so long been denied. Haitiʼs career politicians, confined to the margins since Aristideʼs first election back in 1990, were finally to be given a chance to inherit their rightful place.

  • Haiti: Developments and U.S. Policy Since 1991 and Current Congressional Concerns
    Order Code RL32294 Haiti: Developments and U.S. Policy Since 1991 and Current Congressional Concerns Updated January 25, 2008 Maureen Taft-Morales Specialist in Latin American Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Clare Ribando Seelke Analyst in Latin American Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Haiti: Developments and U.S. Policy Since 1991 and Current Congressional Concerns Summary Following the first free and fair elections in Haiti’s history, Jean-Bertrand Aristide first became Haitian President in February 1991. He was overthrown by a military coup in September 1991. For over three years, the military regime resisted international demands that Aristide be restored to office. In September 1994, after a U.S. military intervention had been launched, the military regime agreed to Aristide’s return, the immediate, unopposed entry of U.S. troops, and the resignation of its leadership. President Aristide returned to Haiti in October 1994 under the protection of some 20,000 U.S. troops, and disbanded the Haitian army. U.S. aid helped train a civilian police force. Subsequently, critics charged Aristide with politicizing that force and engaging in corrupt practices. Elections held under Aristide and his successor, René Préval (1996-2000), including the one in which Aristide was reelected in 2000, were marred by alleged irregularities, low voter turnout, and opposition boycotts. Efforts to negotiate a resolution to the electoral dispute frustrated the international community for years. Tension and violence continued throughout Aristide’s second term, culminating in his departure from office in February 2004, after the opposition repeatedly refused to negotiate a political solution and armed groups took control of half the country.

  • Election-Violence-Mo
    UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE EXECUTIVE OFFICE OF IMMIGRATION REVIEW IMMIGRATION COURT xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx In the Matter of: IN REMOVAL PROCEEDINGS XX YYY xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx DECLARATION OF ZZZZZZ I, ZZZZZ, hereby declare under penalty of perjury that the following statements are true and correct to the best of my knowledge. 1. I do not recall having ever met XX YYY in person. This affidavit is based on my review of Mr. YYY’s Application for Asylum and my knowledge of relevant conditions in Haiti. I am familiar with the broader context of Mr. YYY’s application for asylum, including the history of political violence in Haiti, especially surrounding elections, attacks against journalists and the current security and human rights conditions in Haiti. Radio in Haiti 2. In Haiti, radio is by far the most important media format. Only a small percentage of the population can afford television, and electricity shortages limit the usefulness of the televisions that are in service. An even smaller percentage can afford internet access. Over half the people do not read well, and newspaper circulation is minuscule. There are many radio stations in Haiti, with reception available in almost every corner of the country. Radios are inexpensive to buy and can operate without municipal electricity. 3. Radio’s general importance makes it particularly important for elections. Radio programs, especially call-in shows, are Haiti’s most important forum for discussing candidates and parties. As a result, radio stations become contested ground for political advocacy, especially around elections. Candidates, officials and others involved in politics work hard and spend money to obtain favorable coverage.

  • The Election Impasse in Haiti
    At a glance April 2016 The election impasse in Haiti The run-off in the 2015 presidential elections in Haiti has been suspended repeatedly, after the opposition contested the first round in October 2015. Just before the end of President Martelly´s mandate on 7 February 2016, an agreement was reached to appoint an interim President and a new Provisional Electoral Council, fixing new elections for 24 April 2016. Although most of the agreement has been respected , the second round was in the end not held on the scheduled date. Background After nearly two centuries of mainly authoritarian rule which culminated in the Duvalier family dictatorship (1957-1986), Haiti is still struggling to consolidate its own democratic institutions. A new Constitution was approved in 1987, amended in 2012, creating the conditions for a democratic government. The first truly free and fair elections were held in 1990, and won by Jean-Bertrand Aristide (Fanmi Lavalas). He was temporarily overthrown by the military in 1991, but thanks to international pressure, completed his term in office three years later. Aristide replaced the army with a civilian police force, and in 1996, when succeeded by René Préval (Inite/Unity Party), power was transferred democratically between two elected Haitian Presidents for the first time. Aristide was re-elected in 2001, but his government collapsed in 2004 and was replaced by an interim government. When new elections took place in 2006, Préval was elected President for a second term, Parliament was re-established, and a short period of democratic progress followed. A food crisis in 2008 generated violent protest, leading to the removal of the Prime Minister, and the situation worsened with the 2010 earthquake.

  • Haiti's National Elections
    Haiti’s National Elections: Issues and Concerns Maureen Taft-Morales Specialist in Latin American Affairs March 23, 2011 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R41689 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Haiti’s National Elections: Issues and Concerns Summary In proximity to the United States, and with such a chronically unstable political environment and fragile economy, Haiti has been a constant policy issue for the United States. Congress views the stability of the nation with great concern and commitment to improving conditions there. Both Congress and the international community have invested significant resources in the political, economic, and social development of Haiti, and will be closely monitoring the election process as a prelude to the next steps in Haiti’s development. For the past 25 years, Haiti has been making the transition from a legacy of authoritarian rule to a democratic government. Elections are a part of that process. In the short term, elections have usually been a source of increased political tensions and instability in Haiti. In the long term, elected governments in Haiti have contributed to the gradual strengthening of government capacity and transparency. Haiti is currently approaching the end of its latest election cycle. Like many of the previous elections, the current process has been riddled with political tensions, allegations of irregularities, and violence. The first round of voting for president and the legislature was held on November 28, 2010. That vote was marred by opposition charges of fraud, reports of irregularities, and low voter turnout. When the electoral council’s preliminary results showed that out-going President Rene Préval’s little-known protégé, and governing party candidate, Jude Celestin, had edged out a popular musician for a spot in the runoff elections by less than one percent, three days of violent protests ensued.

  • Haiti Earthquake: Crisis and Response
    Haiti Earthquake: Crisis and Response Rhoda Margesson Specialist in International Humanitarian Policy Maureen Taft-Morales Specialist in Latin American Affairs February 2, 2010 Congressional Research Service 7-5700 www.crs.gov R41023 CRS Report for Congress Prepared for Members and Committees of Congress Haiti Earthquake: Crisis and Response Summary The largest earthquake ever recorded in Haiti devastated parts of the country, including the capital, on January 12, 2010. The quake, centered about 15 miles southwest of Port-au-Prince, had a magnitude of 7.0. A series of strong aftershocks have followed. The damage is severe and catastrophic. It is estimated that 3 million people, approximately one third of the overall population, have been affected by the earthquake. The Government of Haiti is reporting an estimated 112,000 deaths and 194,000 injured. In the immediate wake of the earthquake, President Preval described conditions in his country as “unimaginable,” and appealed for international assistance. As immediate needs are met and the humanitarian relief operation continues, the government is struggling to restore the institutions needed for it to function, ensure political stability, and address long-term reconstruction and development planning. Prior to the earthquake, the international community was providing extensive development and humanitarian assistance to Haiti. With that assistance, the Haitian government had made significant progress in recent years in many areas of its development strategy. The destruction of Haiti’s nascent infrastructure and other extensive damage caused by the earthquake will set back Haiti’s development significantly. Haiti’s long-term development plans will need to be revised. The sheer scale of the relief effort in Haiti has brought together tremendous capacity and willingness to help.

Existing scholarship explains Haitians’ movements in terms of the United States’ military presence in Haiti (1915- 1934), the country’s rural poverty, and the massive growth of U.S.- and Cuban-owned sugar plantations in Cuba. However, the migrants themselves have not been studied. Instead, previous scholarship puts forth an image of Haitian migrants that is heavily influenced by false, long- standing assumptions about Haiti and the anti-immigrant stereotypes of the early 20th-century Cuban press.
