Fatton — Haiti: Trapped in the Outer Periphery: Chapter Notes Chapter-by-Chapter Notes Preface (pp. vii–ix) Fatton opens by framing this book explicitly as a sequel to and departure from Haiti's Predatory Republic (2002) and The Roots of Haitian Despotism (2007). The two earlier volumes emphasized domestic social forces; this one argues more forcefully that Haiti's predicament is "unintelligible without studying the profound impact of the world capitalist system on the country's internal affairs." He introduces his core claim: the earthquake of January 2010 transformed Haiti into a virtual "trusteeship" of the international community, and the imposition of extreme neoliberalism has trapped the country in the outer periphery.
