Abstract
Racialized Visions: Haiti and the Hispanic Caribbean, by Vanessa K. Valdés (ed.)
Highlights
Never as zealous as the bourgeois Dominicans in their anti-Black, anti-Haitian sentiments, they shared many of the toxic myths about Haitians, all hovering around that one magical incantation: “the poorest nation in America.”
Racialized Visions presents itself as the first comprehensive look at the cultural representations of Haiti in Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Dominican Republic
Considering the limited direct impact that specialist collections have on the ground, this volume is above all an intervention in the field of Latin American and Caribbean Studies, where some of these ills can still be found
Summary
From the day it was born, Haiti has been burdened by other nations with an unjust cross. Valdés (ed.), Racialized Visions: Haiti and the Hispanic Caribbean. I was born and raised in the Dominican Republic, perhaps the largest producer and consumer of racialized myths about Haitians in the Caribbean.
