HOW (NOT) TO BUILD A SCHOOL IN HAÏTI

By Jack C. Newell

HOW (NOT) TO BUILD A SCHOOL IN HAITI documents Tim Myers, a well- intentioned American contractor as he embarks on the construction of a school in rural Haiti following the earthquake of 2010. The seemingly straightforward project is soon entangled in an exploration of globalization, white privilege, and cultural exchange, evolving into a deeper reckoning of race and power.
