Resumen:

This chapter analyzes from a diachronic perspective the political, geostrategic, and economic factors that underlie the formation of the Haitian labor in the Dominican Republic's sugar industry between the end of the nineteenth century and the beginning of the twentieth century. This seasonal labor system constitutes the anchor of the deep historical connection in the realm of migration linking these two countries. Special attention is also paid to the role of the sugar industry as the axis of the agro-export model and support of the incipient capitalist development of the Caribbean countries in those turn-of-the-century years, and to the moment in which its structural demand for immigrant labor emerges. The analysis also underscores the importance of the national building process of both nations including how the Haitian (1801?1857) expansionist project crafted anti-Haitianism as the ideological matrix of the Dominican national identity. The chapter also discusses the role of the Caribbean as a strategic space and object of the dispute by the European metropolises and later as a target of US hegemony during the nineteenth century © 2023 selection and editorial matter, Andreas E.
