A classic that I enjoy every time! It feels that the past ten (plus some) years have only made this article more topical. It is certainly recommended reading for all interested in making anthropological sense of what is going on in the ‘now’.
Trouillot passed away in 2012. His passing was noted, among others, by the Boston Review with a piece titled ‘Remembering Trouillot’ soon after his death. A special issue celebrating his legacy is planned for the Journal of Haitian Studies (call for papers closed in March 2013; click here for call & Trouillot’s biography).
