Download or read book Haiti The Persistence of Misfortune written by Ernst Delma and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2010-02 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Haiti: The Persistence of Misfortune is a succint but exhaustive account about Haiti and its ability to cope with the imminent problems that have been plaguing its march towards economic development and consequently prevent it from achieving genuine political independence. It is not a history book, but Haiti's social and political reality view through the prism of History. It emphasizes the circumstances in which the first independent black Republic has been denied her right to genuine political freedom and economic independence all through the centuries. The Haitian people's reality, which is still yet to be seen under better angles and in its better days, is a great interrogation. Why? Question that stays unanswered and that invites the world to make itself a clean conscience in terms of how it relates to this good people, to this welcoming small nation that has rocked so many dreams, quenched so many thirsts, made tangible so many illusions without having ever obtained a substantial part from the feast.

Download or read book The Hierarchy of Human Sufferings A poetic anatomy of grand scale anguishes written by Ernst Delma and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2010-09-16 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Hierarchy of Human Sufferings or the poetic anatomy of grand scale anguishes ambitions to be a succinct but exhaustive account about humankind's great pains and the great calamities - divine, natural or man-made - that periodically provoke them. Succinct by its sheer volume, exhaustive by its arguments and criteria of reflections to which the author refers in its development. The events utilized by the author are intermittently pulled out of the biblical and secular vast reservoirs. Thus, the arguments are worthy and at the height of the author's ambition to be able to convince the reader that when our calamities are not from nature or man-made, they are evidently self-inflicted owing it to the concept that we often are the artisans of our own sufferings. Do not miss to read"The Hierarchy of Human Sufferings." Make it your next bedside book.

Download or read book Voodoo in Haiti written by Alfred Métraux and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2016-10-21 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Voodoo in Haiti is a masterwork of observation and description by one of the most distinguished anthropologists of the twentieth century. Alfred Métraux has written a rich and lasting study of the lives and rituals of the Haitian mambos and adepts, and of the history and origins of their religion. It is an accurate and engaging account of one of the most fascinating and misunderstood cultures in the world. “Métraux’s book is a landmark in the serious study of Afro-Atlantic religion. The breadth and subtlety of its approach is such that it remains an essential classic of Afro-American ethnology.”—Robert Farris Thompson, professor of art history, Yale University, author of Flash of the Spirit “This is a work deserving of wide readership, and assured of it by its understanding and appeal.”—Library Journal “This book gives what is surely the most authoritative general account of that complex of belief and practice called vaudou available in the literature....No other observer of vaudou has contributed to its study the exquisite documentation of detail that marks the work of Alfred Métraux.”—Sidney W. Mintz, professor of anthropology, Johns Hopkins University
Download or read book Rituals Runaways and the Haitian Revolution written by Crystal Nicole Eddins and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2022-04-21 with total page 379 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Haitian Revolution was perhaps the most successful slave rebellion in modern history; it created the first and only free and independent Black nation in the Americas. This book tells the story of how enslaved Africans forcibly brought to colonial Haiti through the trans-Atlantic slave trade used their cultural and religious heritages, social networks, and labor and militaristic skills to survive horrific conditions. They built webs of networks between African and 'creole' runaways, slaves, and a small number of free people of color through rituals and marronnage - key aspects to building the racial solidarity that helped make the revolution successful. Analyzing underexplored archival sources and advertisements for fugitives from slavery, Crystal Eddins finds indications of collective consciousness and solidarity, unearthing patterns of resistance. The book fills an important gap in the existing literature on the Haitian Revolution. This title is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core.

Download or read book English Haitian Creole Bilingual Dictionary written by Albert Valdman and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2017-04-06 with total page 1207 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Haitian Creole (HC) is spoken by approximately 11,000,000 persons in Haiti and in diaspora communities in the United States and throughout the Caribbean. Thus, it is of great utility to Anglophone professionals engaged in various activities—medical, social, educational, welfare— in these regions. As the most widely spoken and best described creole language, a knowledge of its vocabulary is of interest and utility to scholars in a variety of disciplines. The English-Haitian Creole Bilingual Dictionary (EHCBD) aims to assist anglophone users in constructing written and oral discourse in HC; it also will aid HC speakers to translate from English to their language. As the most elaborate and extensive linguistic tool available, it contains about 30 000 individual entries, many of which have multiple senses and include subentries, multiword phrases or idioms. The distinguishing feature of the EHCBD is the inclusion of translated sentence-length illustrative examples that provide important information on usage.
Download or read book Questioning Misfortune written by Susan Reynolds Whyte and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1997 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Some of the most interesting ethnographies of experience are concerned to highlight the indeterminate nature of life. Questioning Misfortune is very much within this tradition. Based on a long-term study of adversity and its social causes in Bunyole, eastern Uganda, it considers the way in which people deal with uncertainties of life, such as sickness, suffering, marital problems, failure, and death. Divination may identify causes of misfortune, ranging from ancestors and spirits to sorcerers. Sufferers and their families will then try out a variety of remedial measures, including pharmaceuticals, sorcery antidotes, and sacrifices. But remedies often fail, and doubt and uncertainty persist. Even the commercialisation of biomedicine, and the peril of AIDS can be understood in terms of a pragmatics of uncertainty.
Download or read book When Misfortune Becomes Injustice written by Alicia Ely Yamin and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2023-07-04 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When Misfortune Becomes Injustice surveys the progress and challenges in deploying human rights to advance health and social equality over recent decades. Alicia Ely Yamin weaves together theory and firsthand experience in a compelling narrative of how evolving legal norms, empirical knowledge, and development paradigms have interacted in the realization of health rights, and challenges us to consider why these advances have failed to produce greater equality within and between nations. In this revised and expanded second edition, Yamin incorporates crucial lessons learned about the state of global health equity and public health systems during the COVID-19 pandemic, demonstrating just how incompatible the current institutionalized world order—based on neoliberal, financialized capitalism—is with one in which the rights of diverse people around the globe can be realized. COVID-19 struck a world that had been shaped by decades of disinvestment in public health, health systems, and social protection, as well as privatization of wealth and gaping social inequalities within and between countries, and the evident crisis of confidence in the capacity of democratic political institutions and global governance was deepened by the pandemic. Yamin argues that transformative human rights praxis in health calls for addressing issues of structural inequality and political economy, and working across disciplinary silos through networks and social movements.
