"Democratic Insecurities" focuses on the ethics of military and
humanitarian intervention in Haiti, during and after Haiti's 1991
coup. In this remarkable ethnography of violence, Erica Caple James
explores the traumas of Haitian victims whose experiences were
denied by U.S. officials and recognized only selectively by other
humanitarian providers. Using vivid first-person accounts from
women survivors, James raises important new questions about
humanitarian aid, structural violence, and political insecurity.
She discusses the politics of postconflict assistance to Haiti and
the challenges of promoting democracy, human rights, and justice in
societies that experience chronic insecurity. Similarly, she finds
that efforts to promote political development and psychosocial
rehabilitation may fail because of competition, strife, and
corruption among the individuals and institutions that implement
such initiatives.
