Yet we continue to hear stories of misery from Haiti. Why have NGOs failed at their mission? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Set in Haiti during the 2004 coup and aftermath and enhanced by research conducted after the 2010 earthquake, \u003ci\u003eKilling with Kindness\u003c\/i\u003e analyzes the impact of official development aid on recipient NGOs and their relationships with local communities. Written like a detective story, the book offers rich ethnographic comparisons of two Haitian women's NGOs working in HIV\/AIDS prevention, one with public funding (including USAID), the other with private European NGO partners. Mark Schuller looks at participation and autonomy, analyzing donor policies that inhibit these goals. He focuses on NGOs' roles as intermediaries in \"gluing\" the contemporary world system together and shows how power works within the aid system as these intermediaries impose interpretations of unclear mandates down the chain-a process Schuller calls \"trickle-down imperialism.\"\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMark Schuller is an assistant professor of anthropology and NGO Leadership Development at Northern Illinois University.
