1945: (The Forest Has Been Painfully Exploited — a Year After Leaving Her Position at SHADA Jeanne Returning to One of the Areas Near Forêt de Pines with Her Sister and Writing “The Forest Has Been Painfully Exploited by SHADA,” the Leveled Land Also Signaling a Personal and Historical Discomfort — Jeanne Had Contributed to the Narrative Machine That Kept SHADA Running): A year after leaving her position at SHADA, Jeanne returned to one of the areas near Forêt de Pines with her sister and wrote that the forest had been painfully exploited by SHADA. Jeanne articulated a tender truth of the deforestation of thousands of Haitian hectares. The leveled land also signaled a personal and historical discomfort: Jeanne had contributed to the narrative machine that kept SHADA running — the Haitian-American partnership had hidden behind the smoke screens of journalism to promote the project’s unrooted and burning product.
