Legal Identity, Race and Belonging in the Dominican Republic

More about the book

Focusing on legal identity practices, the book critiques policies from institutions like the World Bank and UN that promote mass registration of native-born migrant-descended populations. It highlights the potential consequences of these policies, particularly how they can challenge established identities and entitlements by raising complex issues of nationality. This cautionary tale serves as a warning about the implications of such legal frameworks on communities and their historical contexts.
