What's Blackness Got to Do With It?: The Case of Haiti & the Dominican Republic

The 2013 court ruling, "La Sentencia," stripped citizenship from
Dominicans of Haitian descent. The State's assault on national
membership questions the right of over one-quarter million individuals to
exist within the boundaries of the Dominican Republic. This attempt to
contain race and nation creates frightening degrees of vulnerability for all Haitians in the country. This panel will historicize "La Sentencia," as well
as discuss educational-activist organizing in both the Dominican Republic
and the Diaspora surrounding this struggle for citizenship.
