  • Julia Alvarez & Junot Díaz: the Formation of Boundaries In
    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.

    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.

  • INSIDE This Issue: Message from the Chair, RTIRN Board Update on RTIRN Projects Funded by Introduction to New RTIRN Board Members World Bank Professor Dr
    April/May 2009 Road Traffic Injuriesj ResearchResearch NetworkNetwork road research The Newsletter of the Road Traffic Injuries Research Network Message from the RTIRN Board Dear colleagues Welcome to another issue of Road Research. This issue importantly highlights the significant activities that are being undertaken by Network Partners, supported by our key funders, the World Bank’s Global Road Safety Facility. Without this support the Network would not be in a position to provide funds for our key outreach activities, namely the multicentre study, the fellowships for both junior and senior researchers, and to be announced later in the year, conference scholarships. We take this opportunity to congratulate the three recipients of our awards for senior researchers: Dr Clotilde Ubeda, from Argentina; Dr Rafael Consunji from the Philippines; and Dr Hamid Soori from Iran. As outlined later in this issue, each will spend time with a partner organization gaining further skills and experience that they will take back to their home countries at the completion of their sabbaticals. I would also like to welcome our new Board members: Professor Alfredo Celis from Mexico, Professor Ahmad Farhan Mohd Sadullah from Malaysia. As Partners would appreciate, Board members play a key role in the Network – with no reimbursement for their time – so we very much appreciate both their commitment and indirectly the support of their institutions in allowing them to take on this role. Lastly I would like to formally record our farewell and thanks to Maria Ali, who as you will all know has worked with the Secretariat in Pakistan since its establishment.
