Development-induced Displacement in Haiti
In recent decades the people of Haiti have faced ecological disaster, political upheaval, and persistent economic hardship. These aflictions have motivated hundreds of thousands of Haitians to migrate to other Caribbean countries, the United States and Canada. While many observers know that mass migration was the result of Haiti's problems, it was the mass migration from rural highlands to urban slums that created the important preconditions for the violent expression of collective grievances. Since the 1950s, certain development projects in the highlands have displaced large numbers of Haitians by causing or exacerbating the severe environmental degradation that destroyed their land, water and fuelwood resources. Specifically discussed are the Piligre Dam and the use of Green-Revolution technology. The result was that squatter settlements at the edge of Port-au-Prince and the district capitals grew crowded, volatile and violent. ; Dans les dernières décennies la population d'Haïti a été confrontée à des désastres écologiques, des bouleversements politiques et un marasme économique persistant. Ces avatars ont amené des centaines de milliers d'haïtiens à émigrer vers d'autres pays des Caraïbes, vers le Canada ou vers les États-Unis. Si de nombreux observateurs sont bien conscients que cette émigration massive a été le principal résultat des problèmes d'Haïti, il y a aussi lieu de s'aviser du fait que c'est la massive migration interne depuis les régions montagneuses des campagnes vers les bidonvilles urbains qui est à l'origine des importantes conditions d'engendrement de l'expression de la colère collective. Depuis les années 1950, un certain nombre de projets de développement dans la zone montagneuse ont entraîné le déplacement d'un grand nombre d'haïtiens, en engendrant ou amplifiant la sévère dégradation environnementale menant à la destruction des terres, des points d'eau et des ressources en bois combustible. On discute ici spécifiquement le cas du barrage Péligre impliquant notamment l'utilisation de ...
