I centralize broadcasting because, I argue, 1) radio was, and in many places, remains a powerful cultural force; 2) the medium was easily accessible and widely available, and thus had unparalleled democratic appeal and influence; and 3) radio, unlike print media, does not require literacy as a prerequisite for participation. Radio, particularly Krey\u00f2l language broadcasting, was a platform that embodies equity and democratized politics; and vernacular radio archives reflect this inclusion.<\/p>\n<p>From a material culture standpoint, reduced cost and increased post-WWII supply transformed radio technology into a crucial instrument of struggle in Cold War Latin America, and elsewhere in the Global South. As historian Alejandra Bronfman reminds us in <span style=\"font-style: normal !msorm;\"><em>Isles of Noise: Sonic Media in the Caribbean<\/em><\/span>, \u201cthe sounds of radio are [by their very nature of production and dissemination] ephemeral.\u201d For that reason alone, the comprehensiveness of the Radio Haiti Records are indeed exceptional.<\/p>\n<p>Using a sampling of the approximately 5300 recordings and 191 boxes of paper documents that constitute the Radio Haiti archives &#8212;\u00a0 spanning\u00a0 field reports, editorials, investigative reports, in-studio interviews, and special programming &#8212;\u00a0 I built an argument that reframes the everyday activities of ordinary people as political activity and agitation.<\/p>\n<p>Investigating radio listening as a form of political engagement allows for a more granular examination of the transformation of civil society that I argue occurred between 1971 and 1987, during the presidency of Jean-Claude Duvalier and in the immediate aftermath of his fall from power. This, I contend, challenges the scholarly interpretations that mischaracterize peasants as politically inert throughout much of the Duvalier era, until the <a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/2015\/11\/20\/radio-haiti-you-are-the-rain-if-you-didnt-fall-we-could-not-bloom-repression-and-remembrance-on-november-28\/\">killing of three schoolboys <\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.library.duke.edu\/rubenstein\/2015\/11\/20\/radio-haiti-you-are-the-rain-if-you-didnt-fall-we-could-not-bloom-repression-and-remembrance-on-november-28\/\">in Gona\u00efves <\/a>on November 28, 1985 (the <a href=\"https:\/\/repository.duke.edu\/dc\/radiohaiti\/RL10059-RR-0502_01\"><span style=\"font-style: normal !msorm;\"><em>T<\/em><\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/repository.duke.edu\/dc\/radiohaiti\/RL10059-RR-0502_01\"><span style=\"font-style: normal !msorm;\"><em>wa Fl\u00e8 Lespwa<\/em><\/span><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/repository.duke.edu\/dc\/radiohaiti\/RL10059-RR-0502_01\"><span style=\"font-style: normal !msorm;\"><em>,<\/em><\/span><\/a> or Three Flowers of Hope). In contrast, my research charts broad domestic ferment on the air-waves. Radio media, in addition to independent vernacular print outlets, offered a space where dispersed sectors of the Haitian population could critique and challenge state power. Radio records have helped to offer insights into patterns of open opposition to government excess that predate the 1985 killings. These included <a href=\"https:\/\/repository.duke.edu\/dc\/radiohaiti\/RL10059-RR-1353_01\">reactions to the murder of the young journalist Gasner Raymond<\/a>, who was killed after investigating workers\u2019 strikes at the state-owned cement factory in 1976; \u00a0rice farmers\u2019 revolts against <a href=\"https:\/\/repository.duke.edu\/dc\/radiohaiti\/RL10059-RR-0139_01\">repressive local Macoutes<\/a> in the <a href=\"https:\/\/repository.duke.edu\/dc\/radiohaiti\/RL10059-CS-0810_01\">Artibonite<\/a> between 1977 and 1979; peasant farmers\u2019 and workers\u2019 opposition to <a href=\"https:\/\/repository.duke.edu\/dc\/radiohaiti\/RL10059-RR-0194_01\">Reynolds Haitian Mines<\/a> in Mirago\u00e2ne; attempted coups in 1981 and 1982, and <a href=\"https:\/\/repository.duke.edu\/dc\/radiohaiti\/RL10059-CS-0813_01\">anti-government bombings<\/a> between 1980 and 1983.<\/p>\n<p>Radio programming offered a discursive public space in which to practice one&#8217;s politics, where few other avenues remained. Having grown used to practicing forbidden forms of citizenship on the airwaves, this radio activism soon moved onto the streets. In the popular movement that uprooted Duvalierism, the Haitian majority&#8211; Krey\u00f2l speaking peasant farmers, agricultural day laborers, and urban workers\u2014who had once formed bases of support for the regime now demanded the end of the dictatorship. I plot the emergence of a nearly decade and a half long grassroots political movement against Jean-Claude Duvalier by examining radio media to show\u00a0 how ordinary people first negotiated the terms of their citizenship within an authoritarian system, and later struggled to uproot that system in its entirety.<\/p>\n<p>The complete audio archive of Radio Haiti will soon be available to the public via <a href=\"https:\/\/repository.duke.edu\/dc\/radiohaiti\">Duke\u2019s Digital Repository<\/a>, which will be an unparalleled resource for historians and other researchers interested in radio, political resistance, and the circulation of information in Haiti and in the Haitian diaspora.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Post contributed by Jennifer Garcon,\u00a0Bollinger Fellow in Public and Community Data Curation at Penn Libraries One morning in July 1965, an unfamiliar voice radiated from the transistor radios of Port-au-Prince residents.
