Description
More than a Massacre offers a comprehensive historical analysis of racial violence and citizenship in the Haiti-Dominican borderlands during the twentieth century. Sabine F. Cadeau examines how the 1937 massacre of Haitian migrants shaped understandings of race, nationality, and belonging in the Dominican Republic and Haiti.
The book explores the lived experiences of Afro-Latin American communities navigating state power, racial hierarchies, and contested citizenship. Cadeau demonstrates how violence and exclusion were central to nation-building projects in both countries. Through archival research and oral histories, she reveals how ordinary people resisted, survived, and reimagined their identities within these oppressive systems.
This work contributes significantly to Afro-Latin American studies by centering Black Caribbean experiences and challenging dominant narratives of regional history. It bridges Caribbean, Latin American, and Black diaspora studies while offering important perspectives on contemporary border politics and racial justice.
