Several years ago, someone asked us for a list of readings on the Dominican Republic and Haiti, particularly relations between the two nations. We hastily responded via email with the following list, although there are several unforgivable omissions. In spite of our past follies, we came across the list recently and decided to share it here. Perhaps it will be useful to whoever pays attention to this space.
1. Nation and Citizen in the Dominican Republic, 1880-1916 by Teresita Martínez-Vergne touches upon discourses of modernity and nationalism in the DR, including race and perceptions of Haitians and other foreigners in the Dominican Republic.
2. The Imagined Island: History, Identity, and Utopia in Hispaniola by Pedro L. San Miguel analyzes Haitian and Dominican mutual perceptions.
3. Haitian-Dominican Counterpoint by Eugenio Matibag touches upon Haitian-Dominican relations.
4. The Mulatto Republic: Class, Race, and Dominican National Identity by April Mayes doesn't touch upon Haitians so much but might be useful for a different take on Dominican racial identity and perceptions of race.
5. Black behind the Ears: Dominican Racial Identity from Museums to Beauty Shops by Ginetta Candelario is worth looking at for Dominican self-conceptions and perceptions of Haitians and "blackness"
6. Azúcar: Árabes, cocolos y haitianos by Orlando Inoa is worth looking at for how the rise of a modern sugar industry in the DR brought in immigrants, including Haitians and West Indians
