Opis

A history of race, citizenship, statelessness, and genocide from the perspective of ethnic Haitians in Dominican border provinces.

Recenzje

'Sabine Cadeau's extraordinary and harrowing study finally establishes the 1937 Dominican massacre of ethnic Haitians as a major twentieth century genocide. A most timely tour de force – required reading for those interested in questions of genocide, forced migration, human rights, and the relationship between definitions of citizenship, nationalism, and race.' Nan Elizabeth Woodruff, author of American Congo: The African American Freedom Struggle in the Delta
