| Summary: | Port-au-Prince, the capital of Haiti, worries the analyst, on the one hand, because of the violent earthquake, which destroyed on January 12, 2010, almost all of the urban space, and the main symbols of the state, but also because poverty, under the combined effects of environmental vulnerabilities and the crisis of adaptation to globalization, is expanding its tentacles. Far from addressing poverty in Port-au-Prince, according to the economic prism that conceals the trap raised by the object of study, the preferred approach is to analyze the various speeches broadcast on poverty in the capital, its appropriation by elites and the masses who are trying to profit, according to their interests without denying the weight of history. |
