Chris Scott and Steve Duvalsin continue to broadcast dissenting voices from Haiti and the diaspora with their monthly show, entitled Radio Resistance.

On this edition: In the brutal aftermath of the earthquake that rocked Port-au-Prince in January, observers are saying that Haiti is in the midst of a summer of discontent, with demonstrators calling for the resignation of president René Préval. For more, we hear from independent journalist Ansel Herz, who is based in Haiti.

Then we hear from Daphney Laraque, from the Mouvement pour le repect des droits humain, on how mineral and agricultural corporations are profiting from catastrophe in Haiti.
