    Abstract: Anthropology has done much to challenge the idea of the natural inferiority of races, but at times this challenge has ignored the problem of racism. This article explores an important but largely ignored foundational text about race and equality written by Anténor Firmin, a Haitian intellectual who in 1885 set out to critique the categories and concepts of nineteenth-century French anthropology. I show how Firmin’s critique of race thinking and the doctrine of racial inequality were rooted in a broader critique of colonialism, racism, and inherited privilege. Drawing on Firmin’s argument that the end of racism would facilitate the abolition of all privilege, I suggest ways in which the discipline of anthropology might build on his critique to develop a more powerful response to the reemergence of ideas of innate difference and inequality.

    Abstract: In the Bel Air neighborhood of Port‐au‐Prince, Haiti, most residents are dependent on humanitarian and foreign assistance for food, services, aid, and jobs. Yet, some residents feel that the conditions under which such aid is provided actively blocks their ability to live a life they find meaningful. In this article, I explore how some Haitians theorize this humanitarian condition through the figure of the dog, an animal that exemplifies, for Haitians, the deep history of violence, dehumanization, and degradation associated with foreign rule. I then contrast this with how foreign aid workers invoke the figure of the dog to illustrate their compassionate care for suffering others. Drawing on research among Bel Air residents and foreign aid workers in the years after a devastating earthquake destroyed much of Port‐au‐Prince, I show how the figure of the dog is central both to Haitian critiques of humanitarian aid and to the international humanitarian imaginary that responds to forms of suffering it deems cruel. [ humanitarianism, suffering slot, anthropology of ethics, compassion and cruelty, Haiti ] Dans le quartier Bel Air de Port‐au‐Prince, Haïti, la plupart des habitants dépendent de l'assistance humanitaire extérieure pour leurs besoins de nourriture, services, aides, et emplois. Certains résidents estiment pourtant que les conditions dans lesquelles cette assistance est fournie bloque activement leur capacité à vivre une vie signifiante. Dans cet article, j'explore comment certains Haïtiens théorisent cette condition humanitaire à travers la figure du chien, un animal qui illustre, pour les Haïtiens, l'histoire profonde de la violence, la déshumanisation et la dégradation associée à la domination étrangère. Je contraste ensuite cet usage avec la façon dont les travailleurs humanitaires étrangers invoquent la figure du chien afin d'illustrer leurs souci de compassion envers la souffrance des autres. M'appuyant sur une recherche entreprise parmi les résidents de Bel Air et les travailleurs humanitaires étrangers dans les années qui ont suivi le tremblement de terre dévastateur ayant détruit une grande partie de Port‐au‐Prince, je démontre la centralité de la figure du chien à la fois dans les critiques haïtiennes de l'aide humanitaire et dans l'imaginaire international humanitaire qui répond à des formes de souffrance qu'elle juge cruelles. [ humanitaire, sujet souffrant, anthropologie de l’éthique, compassion et cruauté, Haïti ] En el barrio de Bel Air de Puerto Príncipe, Haití, la mayoría de residentes dependen de la asistencia humanitaria y extranjera para alimentos, servicios, ayuda, y trabajos. Sin embargo, algunos residentes sienten que las condiciones bajo las cuales se provee tal ayuda activamente bloquea su habilidad de vivir una vida que encuentren significativa. En este artículo, exploro cómo algunos haitianos teorizan esta condición humanitaria a través de la figura del perro, un animal que ilustra, para los haitianos, la profunda historia de violencia, deshumanización, y degradación asociada con el control extranjero. Luego contrasto esto con cómo los trabajadores de ayuda extranjera invocan la figura del perro para ilustrar su cuidado compasivo por el sufrimiento de otros. Basado en investigación entre los residentes de Bel Air y los trabajadores de ayuda extranjera en los años posteriores a un devastador terremoto que destruyó gran parte de Puerto Príncipe, muestro cómo la figura del perro es central tanto para las críticas haitianas de ayuda humanitaria como para el imaginario humanitario internacional que responde a formas de sufrimiento que considera cruel.
