Haitian Immigrants and Their Descendants in the Dominican Republic

Authors Bridget Wooding and Richard Moseley-Williams examine the origins and evolving nature of Haitian immigration and describe ongoing efforts to establish and protect the rights of Haitians and Haitian-Dominicans in the Dominican Republic. Published in English and Spanish in 2004 and in French in 2005, the book documents the systematic discrimination that Haitians and their descendants continue to face from the Dominican state and society.

Over the last century, several thousand Haitians settled in the Dominican Republic. Yet even today they face systematic discrimination from the Dominican state and society. The book tells this important story through the work of authors who spent many years engaged in social development, migration, and human rights in the Dominican Republic.

The book was published in English and Spanish in 2004 and in French in 2005.
