Legal Identity, Race and Belonging in the Dominican Republic: From Citizen to Foreigner - Paperback

by Eve Hayes de Kalaf (Author), Junot Díaz (Foreword by)

This book provides a cautionary tale regarding legal identity practices as promulgated by the World Bank, UN and Inter-American Development Bank. It warns that policies encouraging the en masse registration of native-born migrant-descended populations can also force the thorny question of nationality, unsettling long-established identities and entitlements.
