Reviews

""Life in the Cracks is one of the most exciting works on Haiti that I have seen in years. Motta's focus on ordinary life, on law and life 'in the cracks' amid crisis shines new light on Haiti during one of the country's most difficult times. His use of ethnographic realism both grounds his theoretical arguments and makes important contributions to anthropological narrative and ethnographic methods.""---Greg Beckett, Western University
