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. This volume addresses
how Haitian institutions, grassroots organizations, and
individuals respond to and resist external influence, considering
assertions of sovereignty from historically marginalized urban
and rural populations. Contributors from a variety of
disciplinary perspectives--including political science,
anthropology, history, economics, and development studies--argue
that varying discussions of ownership are central to Haiti’s
future as a sovereign state.
