E. Russ
Chapter 5 argues that although Haiti's presence is relatively absent in much of Aída Cartagena Portalatín’s work, when Haiti is visible, it signals an important transformation in Cartagena's thinking about Dominican national identity; Russ shows that Cartagena eventually breaks loose from the discursive structures that define Dominican nationalism in twentieth-century Dominican literature and twentieth-century Dominican poetry as fundamentally anti-black and anti-Haitian.

A. Mayes
April Mayes argues that the Dominican Republic’s Constitutional Court's decision to strip citizenship and nationality from thousands of Dominicans, most of whom are of Haitian ancestry, demonstrates how factions within, and powerbrokers aligned with, the Partido de la Liberación Dominicano (Dominican Liberation Party, PLD) have used anti-Haitianism and other human rights abuses to consolidate its power over the past two decades. During the PLD's administration, anti-black exclusion, Mayes insists, became institutionalized within the bureaucratic mechanisms of the state, complementing and assisting the state’s governance model.
April Mayes认为,多明尼加共和国宪法法院决定剥夺数千名多明尼加人的公民权和国籍,其中大多数人是海地血统,这显示了多明尼加解放党(Partido de la Dominicano, PLD)内部派系和政治掮掮者如何在过去二十年中利用反海地主义和其他侵犯人权的行为来巩固其权力。Mayes坚持认为,在PLD执政期间,反黑人排斥在国家的官僚机制中变得制度化,补充和协助了国家的治理模式。

Kiran C. Jayaram
This chapter offers a staggering critique of post-earthquake development plans in Haiti. In the wake of the Haitian earthquake, Haiti became an example of disaster capitalism in action. Kiran Jayaram argues that the idea of sustainability, as in new plans for mango production, has been co-opted, becoming code for the continuation of exploitative economic policies within the political economy.

Chapter 3 is a collection of passport petitions from the Dominican Republic that open a window into the history of familial, friendship, and communal networks that bound island populations together and explore mobility in the country.

R. Jean-Charles
Chapter 4 analyzes representations of the Haitian-Dominican border in the literature of Edwidge Danticat, Roxane Gay, and Évelyne Trouillot, who each exhume the historical trauma of the 1937 Massacre of Haitians and Dominicans of Haitian ancestry. Jean-Charles argues that these authors understand the border as a space of violence and death but also, quite ironically and powerfully, as a space for creation and possibility.
