Köp båda 2 för 698 krThis beautifully executed ethnography pairs the process of excising multiple generations of a people from a country's polity with its myriad manifestations, small and consequential, in everyday life. The result is an outstanding analysis of the intersection of race and liminal legality, shedding light on a case that has enormous theoretical significance. Highly recommend!--Cecilia Menjivar, Dorothy L. Meier Chair in Social Inequities, UCLA This text does an excellent job of unpacking the nuances and complexities of Haitians and people of Haitian descent living in the Dominican Republic. It is a story of labor exploitation, the residual and persistent impact of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, and the continued obsession in the Americas of constructing race through political mechanisms.--Angela J. Hattery, George Mason University
