Résumé
Résumé :

The purpose of this study was to explore the factors that promoted resilience in Haitian women earthquake survivors. The literature on mental health among Haitians is sparse. Furthermore, the concept of resilience is not easily translated across cultures. In the aftermath of the devastating 2010 Haiti earthquake, relocated victims struggled to adjust. This study looks at what factors helped women adjust to their new environment and cope with the traumas and losses suffered from the earthquake. A qualitative design was used to discover and describe resilience.

Résumé
Résumé :

Throughout the United States occupation of Haiti (1915–1934), supporters of the armed invasion pointed toward the transportation infrastructure as the principal contribution of the intervention. Although many of the thoroughfares were built using forced labor, Haitian-American contact on roads, bridges, and railways blurred the boundaries between the occupied and the occupiers.

Résumé

The oppressions of race gender and class intersect quite clearly in the lives of Haitian immigrant women. Coming from a society where color and class indicate privilege and access to resources, Haitian immigrant women who are black and poor find opportunities here. Social workers must learn to use empowerment models to overcome the effects of race, gender and class in services to this population.
