Dèyèmòngenmòn: the Construction of Hunger in Haiti at the Hands of Capital

Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: This critical interpretative qualitative case study discusses the socio-historical determinants of expressions of the social question in Haiti, especially hunger. It critically analyzes issues that are usually approached in a fragmented way, without considering Haiti s formation and place in the international division of labor, including hunger, malnutrition, food price inflation, the incidence of chronic diseases, and climatic events in the country. It explores various definitions and causes of hunger and its manifestations in Haiti. It concludes that the problems that shape the Haitian social question, such as hunger and its solutions, are inseparable from the anti-capitalist struggle.
