The Congress of Santa Barbara (KOSANBA), the Scholarly Association for the Study of Haitian Vodou, housed at the Center for Black Studies Research, University of California, Santa Barbara, was informed by Professor Kate Ramsey from the University of Miami, who just received the news that the Library of Congress has officially changed its nomenclature from "voodooism" to Vodou. This is a great victory. Dr. Ramsey had spearheaded the effort, petitioning the Library of Congress, together with a large number of Haitian and non-Haitian scholars and practitioners.

"That is needed", says Paul Faber, curator Africa at the Tropenmuseum in Amsterdam, "because the island's poor economy has cost so many temples. Ritual objects are sold to cover the medical costs of priests or their families." To prevent unbridled export, the Foundation for the Preservation, Enhancement and Production of Haitian Cultural Works was established in 1989 (FPVPOCH). This initiative was launched by Marianne Lehmann, a Swiss national who has lived on the island for fifty years.

Reconstruire. Dans les grandes capitales du monde, on en parle comme s'il s'agissait de lancer un nouveau programme d'infrastructures nationales pour stimuler une économie en récession. Sur le terrain, on comprend tout de suite qu'il s'agit d'une tâche incommensurable.The land that wouldn't lie
After weeks of intense media attention, some of the causes of Haiti's glaring poverty are obvious: years of chronic underinvestment, disadvantageous terms of trade, deforestation, soil erosion. What is less well understood is that -- natural disasters aside -- the fundamental reasons for Haiti's current destitution originate as responses to Haitian strength, rather than as the result of Haitian weakness, corruption or incompetence. Haiti is the only place in the world where colonial slavery was abolished by the slaves themselves, in the face of implacable violence. As historians of the revolution that began there in 1791 have often pointed out, there is good reason to consider it the most subversive event in modern history. Independent Haiti was surrounded by slave colonies in the Caribbean and flanked by slave-owning economies in northern, central and southern America.

What happens if you walk into a Haitian neighborhood, pull out a new soccer ball and toss it into the street? Thanks to co-worker and avid soccer fan Bridget Murphy, we can answer that. Before we left Jacksonville, Bridget bought a sweet-looking ball - a replica of the official ball of the 2010 World Cup - and asked us to give it to some Haitian kids.P-au-P, 20 février 2010 [AlterPresse] --- Le ballet des chefs d’Etat se poursuit à Port-au-Prince avec, ce samedi 20 février 2010, la visite de la présidente de la République du Chili, Michèle Bachelet, qui a rencontré son homologue haïtien René Garcia Préval. La reconstruction post-séisme et l’aide bilatérale chilienne figurent au nombre des sujets qui ont été abordés. « Le Chili est un pays de tremblements de terre et nous avons beaucoup d’expériences dans la reconstruction », signale la cheffe d’Etat chilienne.
