http://jsma.uoregon.edu/In the wake of a recent decision by the Constitutional Tribunal in the Dominican Republic, many Dominican youth of Haitian descent are unable to go to school, start a bank account, or get married for lack of proper documentation. This exhibition presents photographs by members of Reconoci.do, an organization of Dominican youth of Haitian descent that is struggling to reinstate their rights as nationals. The Spanish word “reconocido” translates to “recognized” or “acknowledged” in English. The photographs document the increasingly hostile situations that Dominicans of Haitian descent and Haitian migrants face on a daily basis as they seek recognition from the state. Organized by Professors Lanie Millar (Romance Languages), Alaí Reyes-Santos (Ethnic Studies), and Juan Eduardo Wolf (Ethnomusicology), this project is funded in part by a JSMA Academic Support Grant.
