Since its publication, the book On the Edge: Writing the Border between Haiti and the Dominican Republic (Liverpool University Press 2015; 2018) has been an important tool for understanding the border and cross-border reality between the two countries that share the island of Hispaniola: the Dominican Republic and Haiti.
Written by Professor Maria Cristina Fumagalli (University of Essex, United Kingdom), the book explores a literary and cultural history that brings to light a compelling yet largely neglected body of work centered on the island's border politics. Since 2015, the author has pursued a process of outreach and advocacy in which OBMICA, through its director Bridget Wooding, has played a complementary role.
Multiple presentations in Haiti, the Dominican Republic, the French Antilles, and Cuba, as well as concerts, readings, and other gatherings around the book, have been held to encourage dialogue on long-standing issues on the island that remain relevant today.
