For Grassroots International, Haiti holds a special place, with the country being central to one of Grassroots’ longest-running programs. We have accompanied social movements and human rights organizations on the ground for more than three decades, which informs this guide.

Introduction to the Learning Guide

Headlines scream about gangs infesting Haiti. Both right-wing and liberal American politicians decry Haitians fleeing into the United States. The UN prepares to send Kenyan troops into Haiti, supposedly to restore order. But is foreign intervention any solution to the deep crises facing the country? And what do Haitians think?

This guide seeks to provide a list of resources for understanding of the complex factors contributing to the ongoing crisis in Haiti by shedding light on the historical context that has shaped Haiti’s current socio-political landscape. Through reading these resources, readers will gain insights into the challenges facing the Caribbean nation and the urgent need for effective solutions. 

At the heart of Haiti’s crisis lies a history of socio-economic inequality, political turmoil, and external interference. This learning syllabus will explore how these factors have intersected to exacerbate tensions and fuel violence, particularly through the proliferation of armed groups commonly referred to as gangs. 

By analyzing the dynamics of power, corruption, and conflict, readers will develop a nuanced understanding of the complex web of forces driving Haiti’s descent into chaos. As Haiti grapples with escalating violence and widespread insecurity, the need for informed action and compassionate response has never been greater. This learning guide aims to equip people with the knowledge and analytical tools necessary to engage critically with the situation in Haiti and contribute meaningfully to efforts aimed at addressing the root causes of the crisis.
