About the book

"There Is No More Haiti: Between Life and Death in Port-au-Prince" is an intimate portrait of a country in crisis. Based on over a decade of research, the book explores how crisis feels to those who must live and die with it every day. Told through a series of overlapping stories that range from the ruins of ecological devastation and economic collapse to political upheaval and humanitarian disaster, There Is No More Haiti follows ordinary people as they struggle to survive the catastrophic events that have come to shape their lives.
