Cooperative Finance in Haiti and Grenada

A review of Dr. Hossein’s recent article in the National Review of Black Politics, entitled, The Legacy of Cooperatives among the African Diaspora: The Cases of Haiti and Grenada.

Hossein reports on 138 interviews of Grenadians and Haitians she carried out between 2008 and 2013. The interviews focused on people’s preference for cooperative lenders, how co-ops developed on the islands, and the relevance of informal cooperative banks in people’s lives.
