Spirals is the fruit of 10 years of research into anti-Haitianism, building on the work of many others. I will talk about how it has served multiple agendas over time and how the island carried networks of solidarities and alliances.

If you haven't seen the film #Parsley about the 1937 genocide in the Dominican Republic, this will give you a snippet of what is happening NOW: more than a deportation campaign, a TERRORIZING campaign, abuses of all kinds. A complete #ShameintheDR

TODAY! Can't wait to share ten years of research into anti-Black narratives and state-sponsored violence on the island shared by Haiti and the DR, but also alliances and solidarities forged across communities and recurring over time. See you soon!

"Una madre inmigrante haitiana pide ser deportada junto a su hijo sordomudo, detenido sin importar su condición. No oye, no habla, pero es separado de su madre. Exigimos respeto: no a la deportación masiva ni a la separación de familias #NoALaSeparación" Naciones Unidas

“No es broma: existe un estado de excepción contra la comunidad inmigrante haitiana y dominicanos negros percibidos como irregulares. Revisan vehículos y han militarizado calles principales en busca de personas negras. La situación es crítica y real. #Alerta"

In my talk on KOUT KOUTO, the name given by the survivors of the 1937 genocide against Haitians and Afro-Dominicans, I address constitutional reforms that paved the way for the genocide and current anti-Haitianism. In Q&A: gender violence & Luis 'Terror' Días!
