between migration and development in the Dominican Republic, specifically in regards to people of Haitian descent there. To examine the connection, perceptions held by Dominican citizens were researched. The historical context of the island and the citizenship issue are imperative to understand the situation of people of Haitians in the Dominican Republic, since this represents a unique situation involving movement from one developing country to another. Social theories were used to examine the perceptions of this movement held by Dominicans. These were used to analyze how Dominicans create their perceptions of others, and how these perceptions may possibly be changed. A political economy framework is used to review the connection between perceptions of migration and perceptions of development. This broad framework allows political and economic aspects of the situation to be considered in tandem. It can also allow for comparisons between different incidences of migration, such as to understand similarities and differences between movement from developing countries to developed countries. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with Dominicans to garner these perceptions, in both the rural and urban setting. The conclusions based on the research conducted for this thesis, contrary to most other research in the field, is that Dominicans view migration in the Dominican Republic positively and do not see a conflict between immigration and development of their country. vii LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS USED ESS European Social Survey GCIM Global Commission on International Migration GFMD Global Forum for Migration and Development GNI Gross National

A través de ella se cuentan historias de las poblaciones de dos países muy cercanos en composición étnica, pero muy diversos en el plano cultural. Esta porosa región de la isla fue testigo de la más sangrienta matanza étnica que ha tenido lugar en el Caribe durante el siglo XX . En 1937, el dictador dominicano Rafael Trujillo ordenó el asesinato de todos los haitianos que se encontraran del lado dominicano de la frontera. Este horrendo episodio ha sido contado en numerosas ocasiones por escritores haitianos.

    JULIA ALVAREZ & JUNOT DÍAZ: THE FORMATION OF BOUNDARIES IN CREATING A NEW DOMINICAN-AMERICAN IDENTITY By VANESSA COLEMAN A capstone submitted to the Graduate School- Camden Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in Liberal Studies Written under the direction of Dr. Richard Drucker And approved by ____________________________________ Richard Drucker Camden, New Jersey October 2016 CAPSTONE ABSTRACT Julia Alvarez & Junot Díaz: The Formation of Boundaries in Creating a New Dominican-American Identity By VANESSA COLEMAN Capstone Director: Dr. Richard Drucker This essay will explore the concept of ethnicity in the stories and through the characters in the writings of Junot Díaz and Julia Alvarez. In particular, I will examine their critically acclaimed novels, Díaz’s The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (2007) and Alvarez’s How the García Girls Lost Their Accents (1991), and how the authors’ personal lives are reflected in these novels. Through the novels, I will examine the acculturation of Dominicans immigrating to the United States and consider how their narratives relate to the idea of a new Dominican-American identity. I will analyze how displacement, economics, and national expectations affect the characters’ behaviors as they search for a new identity. Finally, I will evaluate, and corroborate with scholarship, the aspects of immigrants’ former lives, and how their past and present ethnic identities have transformed with their attempt to balance both cultures, and establish an understanding of the immigrant and ethnic experience. ii 1 Introduction Julia Alvarez and Junot Díaz are acclaimed authors who have built their narratives around their personal experiences as Dominican-Americans.

Sovereignty and Social Justice: The "Haitian Problem" In the Dominican Republic Abstract THE ISSUE OF DOMINICAN SOVEREIGNTY with regard to the rights of those of Haitian parentage seeking to secure Dominican nationality came to the fore recently in the case of Haitian rights activist Sonia Pierre. The ominicaD n Central Electoral Board produced evidence that Pierre’s parents obtained citizenship for their daughter, born on a sugar plantation in the Dominican Republic in 1963, by irregular means – that is, with forged documents. Legislator Vinicio A. Castillo Seman invoked the United Nations Assembly Resolution 869 IX General Assembly of 4 December 1975, Article 8, to the effect that the revocation of nationality can be justified in the cases in which it is proven that citizenship was obtained through fraud or false statements.

    ENTANGLED BORDERS: PERFORMANCE ON THE EDGE OF NATIONS IN HAITI AND THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Elena Herminia Guzman May 2019 © 2019 Elena Herminia Guzman ENTANGLED BORDERS: PERFORMANCE ON THE EDGE OF NATIONS IN HAITI AND THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC Elena Herminia Guzman Ph.D. Cornell University 2019 Within the last 20 years over 70 border walls have been built around the world in the name of sovereignty and global security. Not only are border walls being built but the sovereign power these walls assume are expanding beyond their coordinates. As technological innovations rapidly develop, borders are hindering the movement of people across borders. Despite these technological innovations people continue to create strategies and tactics that reimagine and negotiate the borders of nations. This particular work is an ethnography of the border between Haiti and the Dominican Republic. This dissertation is based on 16 months of ethnographic research in Anse-à-Pitres, Haiti and Pedernales, Dominican Republic. My overall argument is that performance acts as a vehicle by which people subvert, solidify, and reimagine the borders of their nations. I explore how performances such as national celebrations of identity and the religious Lenten festivals of Rara on the border provide an avenue by which people perform the nations ideological and political borders. In Haiti and the Dominican Republic, these performances demonstrate the deep historical ties between the two countries that illuminate sites of collaboration within structures of anti- Haitianism and xenophobia.

  • The Situation in the Dominican Republic: a Case for Preliminary Investigation
    The Situation in the Dominican Republic: A Case for Preliminary Investigation Buses transporting individuals deported to Haiti by the Dominican Republic, July 13,2015. Photo by Dave Ali Fils-Aimé Dave Ali Fils-Aimé The Politics of International Law: The International Criminal Court and the UN Security Council Professor Kathryn Sikkink and Professor Luis Moreno Ocampo Janauary 21, 2016 Since the early twentieth century, Haitian migrant workers have been an essential source of labor for the neighboring Dominican Republic.1 From the 1920s to the 1980s, these migrant workers were mainly drawn into the Dominican Republic to serve as laborers for the country’s sugarcane industry.2 With the decline in sugar prices on the international market from the 1980s onwards, there was a lesser demand for sugarcane workers. Nonetheless, Haitian migrant workers continued to play a vital role in the Dominican economy, most notably in agriculture, construction, housekeeping, and tourism. They have thus become an integral part of Dominican society, and have started families in the country.3 From 1929 to 2010, the various versions of the Dominican Constitution conferred Dominican nationality to all children born in the country (jus soli), unless their parents were diplomats or “in transit;” traditionally, legal interpretation limited the definition of people “in transit” to those present in the country for less than 10 days.4 In January 2010, the Dominican Constitution was amended and under the new constitution, the definition of “in transit” was expanded to include all “irregular” migrants (migrants without proper immigration documents).5 As a result, the children of irregular migrants born in the Dominican Republic were therefore no longer automatically granted Dominican nationality.
