Banking on the Market
The role of the market in the provision of "social goods" (Söderbaum 2005) has been at the fore of academic discussions over the past few decades as governments and other state actors outsource their provisioning to corporations and other market mechanisms (Schwittay 2011). In Haiti, information and communication technologies (ICTs) have played a significant role in this shift, due to their capacity to act as "platforms" for service delivery (Ken…

Making New York Dominican
Why the cocks trade
In the streets of Santo Domingo, Haitian and Dominican paintings are sold side-by-side, usually by Haitian dealers attracted to their neighbour’s much larger tourist market. They are easy to tell apart, for the Haitian paintings generally conform to the naïf style, whereas the Dominican paintings feature rural scenes or Taïno designs. The cultural differences in the designs of the paintings, and their appeal to foreign tourists rather than Domini…
The role of mobile phones in the mediation of border crossings
This article draws upon recent work among Haitian migrants living at the Haitian‐Dominican border in order to examine the role of mobile phones in cross‐border movement in the region. Like other migrants and displaced populations, Haitians use technologies such as mobile phones to keep in touch with their families and maintain social relations as well as organising economic activities and the circulation of remittances. Yet the dependence of Hait…
When Crisis Is Experienced as Continuity. Materialities of Time in Haiti
Cet article explore les manières dont le temps est vécu et utilisé par les Haïtiens vivant à la frontière avec la République Dominicaine. En examinant différentes formes de pratiques temporelles et les représentations qui y sont attachées, l'auteur interroge le présupposé qui voudrait que le tremblement de terre de janvier 2010 ait signifié une rupture brutale avec le passé et montre que la crise en Haïti ne constitue pas une coupure historique u…
From street to satellite
How do users incorporate mobile money into their existing practices and adapt it to their needs? The answers can be surprising. Simultaneously a commodity, a store of value, and a social good, mobile money combines a large array of applications within the one platform. This is why mobile money has been touted for its potential for socioeconomic development, as a profitable commercial enterprise, and even as a tool for strengthening governance. Th…
Life in debt
From El Campo to El Barrio
In the social imaginaries of the Dominican Republic, national culture has its origins in el campo, the countryside. Country spaces and country people are viewed as embodying the past in the present, making them authentic contemporary carriers of national culture and moral order. By contrast, the city has long been viewed as the site of a modernity that takes its inspiration from outside of the nation but also as a site of social degeneration. In …
Cuba
Poverty as danger
Poor urban communities throughout Latin America and the Caribbean have been historically represented as sites of physical and moral danger. In recent years they have been blamed in particular for causing a surge in urban crime. This article explores how such representations are constructed through a process of engagement between many sectors of society. I examine how the general public, the national media and a poor barrio in Santo Domingo (Domin…
