Saturday 3/20: Understanding Haiti’s contemporary “crisis” and solidarity politics

[Mark Schuller]

Hello everyone,

 

It’s been a while since someone posted; I hope people are managing.

 

I don’t know how far the news about Haiti is spreading, but here’s a webinar with mostly people from Haiti, analyzing the contemporary situation and debating roles for solidarity politics. Live audio translation in English and Spanish are available.

 

Thank you all.

 

Sending good energy,

March 20th

Understanding Haiti’s contemporary “crisis” and solidarity politics   Konprann ‘kriz’ aktyèl Ayiti ak politik solidarite             Understanding Haiti’s contemporary “crisis” and solidarity politics   Co-sponsored by North American Congress on Latin America and Ayibopost   ·     Saturday, March 20, 2021 ·     4-6 p.m. EDT   Roundtable moderated by Mamyrah Dougé-Prosper and Mark Schuller   Participants:   ·     Mehdi Chalmers, Trois-Cent-Soixante ·     Dr. James Darbouze, ALASO and FSPVA ·     Guerline Jozef, director, Haitian Bridge Alliance ·     Dr. Sabine Lamour, sociologist and director, SOFA ·     Samuel Nesner, former coordinator with KJM (Mining Justice Collective) ·     Dr. Djems Olivier, geographer ·     Ninaj Raoul, coordinator, Haitian Women for Haitian Refugees   This event will be held in Haitian Kreyòl and simultaneously interpreted in English and Spanish.   Haiti has garnered front-page attention since February 7, when President Jovenel Moïse’s term expired. Rather than signal support for democracy in its oldest neighbor, newly inaugurated President Biden’s first words and actions continued U.S. support for Moïse. The Biden administration also deported almost as many Haitians in one month as Trump did all last year.   What’s happening on the ground in Haiti? How can people – in the Diaspora and our friends in countries around the world – engage in effective solidarity action?   This launch of the latest issue of the NACLA Report offers a series of grounded perspectives to not only reflect on Haiti’s contemporary situation as it unfolds, but also hopefully to inspire a more principled, informed, and engaged solidarity politics. Linked by history and the global racial economy, struggles in Haiti and in the United States are manifestations of an Empire grasping for new strategies as the extractivist paradigm is reaching its natural limit. The current moment requires more active engagement, and for us to see how we are not only connected by particular issues, but also connected to communities that are differently situated along global capitalism’s process of accumulation by appropriation.   Click here to register       Konprann ‘kriz’ aktyèl Ayiti ak politik solidarite   Ko-òganize ak North American Congress on Latin America (NACLA) ak Ayibopost   ·     Samdi, 20 mas, 2021 ·     4-6 p.m. lè Ayiti   Tab wonn – ko-moderatè Mamyrah Dougé-Prosper ak Mark Schuller   Patisipan yp:   ·     Mehdi Chalmers, Trois-Cent-Soixante ·     Dr. James Darbouze, ALASO ak FSPVA ·     Guerline Jozef, direktris, Haitian Bridge Alliance ·     Dr. Sabine Lamour, sosyològ ak direktris, SOFA ·     Samuel Nesner, ansyen kowòdinatè, Kolektif Jistis Min (KJM) ·     Dr. Djems Olivier, gewograf ·     Ninaj Raoul, kowòdinatris, Haitian Women for Haitian Refugees   Evènman sa a ap fèt an Kreyòl Ayisyen e anmenmtan ap gen entèpretasyon an Anglè ak Panyòl.   Depi 7 fevriye lè manda Prezidan Jovnel Moyiz fini, Ayiti re-parèt nan nouvèl entènasyonal. Depi li monte sou pouvwa nan peyi Etazini, olye pou Prezidan Joe Biden ta chache sipòte demokrasi lakay pi ansyen vwazen li, premye pawòl ak aksyon li pwolonje sipò Etazini pou Moyiz. Epitou, nan yon mwa, li depòte preske menm kantite Ayisyen ak Ayisyèn Trump te depòte pandan tout ane 2020 a.   Kisa k ap pase sou teren a ann Ayiti? Kijan moun yo – nan Dyaspora ak zanmi n yo nan tout peyi sou latè – kapab angaje yo nan aksyon solidarite ki bay rezilta?   Lansman dènye NACLA Report sa a ofri yon seri pèspektif ki soti sou teren a. Li non sèlman reflechi sou sitiyasyon aktyèl ann Ayiti, men tou, lansman sa swete enspire yon politik solidarite ak prensip, ki enfòme e ki angaje. Makonnen nan listwa ak ekonomi rasyal mondyal la, batay ann Ayiti ak Etazini se manifestasyon yon Anpi k ap bat pou l jwenn nouvo estrateji nan moman paradig ekstraktivis la rive nan bout li. Moman aktyèl sa egzije plis angajman aktif, pou nou ka wè kijan koze espesifik makonnen nou ansanm, men tou kijan nou konekte avèk kominote ki gen plas diferan anndan pwosesis akimilasyon ak dappiyanp kapitalis mondyal la.   Klike la pou enskri.       For more information about HSA please visit HaitianStudies.org.

Hi!  Thanks, I registered using the link to registration.  It was probably my computer, as it has a mind of its own.
