After Haiti's 2010 earthquake, over half of U.S. households donated
to thousands of nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) in that
country. Yet we continue to hear stories of misery from Haiti. Why
have NGOs failed at their mission?
Set in Haiti during the 2004 coup and aftermath and enhanced by
research conducted after the 2010 earthquake, "Killing with
Kindness" analyzes the impact of official development aid on
recipient NGOs and their relationships with local communities.
Written like a detective story, the book offers rich enthnographic
comparisons of two Haitian women's NGOs working in HIV/AIDS
prevention, one with public funding (including USAID), the other
with private European NGO partners. Mark Schuller looks at
participation and autonomy, analyzing donor policies that inhibit
these goals. He focuses on NGOs' roles as intermediaries in
"gluing" the contemporary world system together and shows how power
works within the aid system as these intermediaries impose
interpretations of unclear mandates down the chain--a process
Schuller calls "trickle-down imperialism."
