This crime against humanity has never been acknowledged by the Dominican government and no memorial exists for its victims. A multimodal, multi-vocal space for activists, artists, scholars, and others connected to the BOL movement, The Border of Lights Reader provides an alternative to the dominant narrative that positions Dominicans and Haitians as eternal adversaries and ignores cross-border and collaborative histories. This innovative anthology asks large-scale, universal questions regarding historical memory and revisionism that countries around the world grapple with today.GenocideHaitiHistory20th centuryDominican-Haitian Conflict, 1937HaitiRelationsDominican RepublicDominican RepublicRelationsHaitiHistory.fastGenocideHistoryDominican-Haitian Conflict, 1937.327.729407293Myers Megan Jeanetteauth1349553Paulino EdwardMyers Megan Jeanette1988-Michigan Publishing (University of Michigan),EYMEYMEYMBOOK9910500583503321The border of lights reader3087474UNINA
