About this title

Synopsis

Border of Lights, a volunteer collective, returns each October to Dominican-Haitian border towns to bear witness to the 1937 Haitian Massacre ordered by Dominican dictator Rafael Le�nidas Trujillo. 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. "By bringing together in one volume poetry, visual arts, literary analysis, in-depth interviews and historical analysis this volume will provide its readers with a comprehensive view of the causes and the aftermath of the massacre." —Ram�n Antonio Victoriano-Mart�nez, University of British Columbia Contributions by Julia Alvarez, Amanda Alc�ntara, DeAndra Beard, Nancy Betances, J�sula Blanc, Mat�as Bosch Carcuro, Cynthia Carri�n, Raj Chetty, Catherine DeLaura, Magaly Colimon, Juan Col�n, Robin Maria DeLugan, Lauren Derby, Rosa Iris Diendomi �lvarez, Polibio D�az, Rana Dotson, Rita Dove, Rhina P.
