책소개
Like two roosters in a fighting arena, Haiti and the Dominican Republic are encircled by barriers of geography and poverty. They co-inhabit the Caribbean island of Hispaniola, but their histories are as deeply divided as their cultures: one French-speaking and black, one Spanish-speaking and mulatto. Yet, despite their antagonism, the two countries share a national symbol in the rooster--and a fundamental activity and favorite sport in the cockfight. In this book, Michele Wucker asks: "If the symbols that dominate a culture accurately express a nation's character, what kind of a country draws so heavily on images of cockfighting and roosters, birds bred to be aggressive? What does it mean when not one but two countries that are neighbors choose these symbols? Why do the cocks fight, and why do humans watch and glorify them?"
Wucker studies the cockfight ritual in considerable detail, focusing as much on the customs and histories of these two nations as on their contemporary lifestyles and politics. Her well-cited and comprehensive volume also explores the relations of each nation toward the United States, which twice invaded both Haiti (in 1915 and 1994) and the Dominican Republic (in 1916 and 1965) during the twentieth century. Just as the owners of gamecocks contrive battles between their birds as a way of playing out human conflicts, Wucker argues, Haitian and Dominican leaders often stir up nationalist disputes and exaggerate their cultural and racial differences as a way of deflecting other kinds of turmoil. Thus Why the Cocks Fight highlights the factors in Caribbean history that still affect Hispaniola today, including the often contradictory policies of the U.S.

미셸 부커(지은이)
경제 용어 ‘회색 코뿔소(gray rhino)’를 창안한 세계적인 리스크 관리 전문가다. 그녀는 이 용어를 제안해 사람들에게 예상 가능하지만 간과하기 쉬운 리스크에 대해 경고했다. 세 번째 저서인 《회색 코뿔소가 온다》는 금융시장과 세계 각국 정부의 정책과 기업 전략에 영향을 미쳤다. 그녀는 글로벌 인재포럼, 다보스포럼 등 여러 국제 포럼에서 강연했으며, 세계경제포럼의 영 글로벌 리더스와 구겐하임 펠로우로 선정되기도 했다. 큰 인기를 얻었던 TED 강연을 하면서 새로운 영감을 얻어 회색 코뿔소 개념을 개인적인 주제로 확장하게 됐다. 《리스크 프레임: 위기를 보는 관점을 바꿔라》에서는 위기 앞에 선 기업과 정책가뿐 아니라 개인이 어떻게 리스크를 분별하고 관리할 수 있는지를 설명한다. 그녀는 전략 컨설팅 기업인 그레이 라이노 앤드 컴퍼니(Gray Rhino & Company)의 설립자다. 여러 미디어 및 정책 연구소의 장을 역임했으며, 각종 매체에서 글로벌 리스크, 리더십, 공공 정책 분야의 평론가로 활발하게 활동하고 있다. 현재 시카고에 거주하고 있다.
