Haitian Women in the Forefront: An Interview with Edwidge Danticat and Beverly Bell

As Haiti disappears from our TV screens and our attention returns to domestic issues, the people of Haiti are now in even greater peril as the rains begin threatening a public health disaster. But women are organizing, both in the U.S. and in Haiti, where over 50 grassroots groups met in Port Au Prince to demand input into the future of Haitian reconstruction. Lisa Dettmer talks to well known Haitian American author Edwidge Danticat about how the Haitian American community is responding to the Earth quake in Haiti, and with Beverly Bell, editor of "Walking on Fire: Haitian Women's Stories of Survival and Resistance."
