On January 12, 2010 a massive earthquake laid waste to
Port-au-Prince, Haiti, killing hundreds of thousands of
people. Within three days, Dr. Paul Farmer arrived in the
Haitian capital, along with a team of volunteers, to lend
his services to the injured. In this vivid narrative, Farmer describes the incredible
suffering--and resilience--that he encountered in Haiti.
Having worked in the country for nearly thirty years, he
skillfully explores the social issues that made Haiti so
vulnerable to the earthquake--the very issues that make it
an "unnatural disaster." Complementing his account are
stories from other doctors, volunteers, and earthquake
survivors. Haiti After the Earthquake will both inform and inspire
readers to stand with the Haitian people against the
profound economic and social injustices that formed the
fault line for this disaster.
