Beverly Bell, an activist and award-winning writer, has dedicated her life to working for democracy, women's rights, and economic justice in Haiti and elsewhere. Since the 7.0 magnitude earthquake of January 12, 2010, that struck the island nation, killing more than a quarter-million people and leaving another two million Haitians homeless, Bell has spent much of her time in Haiti. Her new book, Fault Lines, is a searing account of the first year after the earthquake. Bell explores how strong communities and an age-old gift culture have helped Haitians survive in the wake of an unimaginable disaster, one that only compounded the preexisting social and economic distress of their society. The book examines the history that caused such astronomical destruction. It also draws in theories of resistance and social movements to scrutinize grassroots organizing for a more just and equitable country.

Fault Lines offers rich perspectives rarely seen outside Haiti. Readers accompany the author through displaced persons camps, shantytowns, and rural villages, where they get a view that defies the stereotype of Haiti as a lost nation of victims. Street journals impart the author's intimate knowledge of the country, which spans thirty-five years. Fault Lines also combines excerpts of more than one hundred interviews with Haitians, historical and political analysis, and investigative journalism. Fault Lines includes twelve photos from the year following the 2010 earthquake.

Bell also investigates and critiques U.S. foreign policy, emergency aid, standard development approaches, the role of nongovernmental organizations, and disaster capitalism. Woven through the text are comparisons to the crisis and cultural resistance in Bell's home city of New Orleans, when the levees broke in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Ultimately a tale of hope, Fault Lines will give readers a new understanding of daily life, structural challenges, and collective dreams in one of the world's most complex countries.

Perfect for small spaces

I do like this table. The directions are less than desirable. I have put together MANY pieces of furniture. I put this entire thing together and realized at the end that I had some pieces backwards so the top would not collapse back to coffee table. Luckily when I took it back apart, I did not damage it beyond repair. It looks great and perfect size for my apartment livingroom. Great option to be able to use as a dining table on the rare occasion I need one. Price was right and it is pretty sturdy. Extra storage underneath for books and such.

Wonderful coffee table. Easy to assemble. Very durable, even when the table is fully folded out. Any little touch will leave fingerprints though, so be prepared to clean it a bunch

Cute and easy to use!
It came quickly and the directions were easy to follow! I will say that we used our electric screwdriver instead of the one provided just for when you’re screwing in the hinges— the one they provided was like dull and hard to use for that. But other than that it was seamless putting together. We use it almost everyday for kids schoolwork. I love storing their school books underneath as well. It’s lightweight enough that my kids (6 &7) can set up and put down the table themselves and it’s sturdy when using the full table or the pull up half table. Highly recommend!
