Although Haiti established its independence in 1804, external
actors such as the United States, the United Nations, and
non-profits have wielded considerable influence throughout its
history. Especially in the aftermath of the Duvalier regime and the
2010 earthquake, continual imperial interventions have time and
again threatened its sovereignty. Who Owns Haiti? explores the role
of international actors in the country's sovereign affairs while
highlighting the ways in which Haitians continually enact their own
independence on economic, political, and cultural levels. The
contributing authors contemplate Haiti's sovereign roots from a
variety of disciplinary perspectives, including political science,
anthropology, history, economics, and development studies. They
also consider the assertions of sovereignty from historically
marginalized urban and rural populations. This volume addresses how
Haitian institutions, grassroots organizations, and individuals
respond to and resist external influence. Examining how foreign
actors encroach on Haitian autonomy and shape-or fail to
shape-Haiti's fortunes, it argues that varying discussions of
ownership are central to Haiti's future as a sovereign state.
