    Notes:
    "Examines Haitian identity in the Dominican popular imagination before the 1937 Haitian massacre and interrogates how the transformation of the Dominican frontier into a border in the first decades of the 20th century changed local meanings of raza or race. As the Dominican border became part of the global economy, Haitian-Dominican relations were commodified; and the division between neighbors and blood kin was remapped." --The Author
