SUMMARY:

This study seeks to understand how peasant struggles in Haiti, from the Haitian Revolution to the present, have contributed to the construction of practices and meanings of food sovereignty linked to racial, territorial, and social justice. It is based on an understanding of Haiti as a space historically marked by coloniality, in which the racialization of land and labor produced hierarchies that extend beyond independence. In this journey, we examine the peasant break with the plantation system and the consolidation of autonomous forms of production and community organization. The work also analyzes the impacts of neoliberalism on Haitian agriculture and how, in the face of the resulting disintegration, peasant movements have responded through agroecology and the defense of native seeds. The research is based on a literature review and dialogue with authors of Caribbean Black thought and decolonial perspectives, highlighting the role of practices, discourses and other cultural expressions as a foundation of resistance.
