The 7.0 magnitude earthquake that struck Haiti in January 2010 was a debilitating event that followed decades of political, social, and financial issues. Leaving over 250,000 people dead, 300,000 injured, and 1.5 million people homeless, the earthquake has had lasting repercussions on a struggling nation. We’re in conversation with Myriam Chancy about her book Harvesting Haiti: Reflections on Unnatural Disasters, encouraging us to examine the historical and present structures that have resulted in Haiti’s post-earthquake conditions.
