Rape, Murder, and Voodoo in the Island of the Damned BY TIMOTHY SCHWARTZ
QUOTE from the chapter: "...Why, in concert with NGOs, otherwise responsible journalists radically misrepresent Haitian patterns of behavior and how they get away with it."
VERY GOOD PIECE OF WORK:, talks about misrepresentation of haiti from the so called violence/looting after the earthquake to so called ubiquitous violence throughout the country to the mud cookies stories, etc as well as a small piece on restavek misinformation in the media.
LONG CHAPTER BUT WORTH THE READ
QUOTE from the chapter: "In summary, the mainstream press did what it always does to Haiti: In the name of selling newspapers and increasing television viewer audience it re-affirmed the image of Haiti as the land of the macarbe, the mad, and the malevolent."
