Dr. Jacqueline Jiménez Polanco Shares Flyer of New Book
Dominican Politics in the Twenty First Century Continuity and Change is scheduled for release in 2023.
As per the publisher:
This collection examines the continuities and changes that have set the Dominican political system apart from its Latin American counterparts over the last couple of decades. Whereas traditional political parties have lost support throughout Latin America, and electoral systems have devolved into illiberal democracies, Dominican democracy remains flawed but vibrant with a popular embrace of party politics.
Across eight chapters a collection of subject experts argue that the Dominican case offers valuable lessons to understand that even though traditional political parties are endangered throughout the region, they are not going anywhere. The book analyzes topics including electoral politics, the quality of Dominican democracy, political parties, corruption, relations with Haiti and the United States, migration, the Dominican diaspora, gender and politics, social movements, and civil participation and citizenship, to reveal how the Dominican case proves that traditional political parties can adapt in order to survive, turning themselves into major sources of patronage, appealing to personalistic politics, and tinkering with the constitution in order to stay relevant.
Dominican Politics in the Twenty First Century will be a vital resource for understanding contemporary Dominican politics. It will appeal to political scientists, Latin Americanists, and students of democracy, comparative politics, and electoral politics in general.
Editorial Universitaria Bonó y la DSA colaboran con número de Estudios Sociales
En diciembre de 2020, la Asociación de Estudios Dominicanos (Dominican Studies Association, DSA, por sus siglas en inglés) celebró su novena conferencia bienal en la ciudad de Nueva York. En el marco de ese evento, la Editorial Universitaria Bonó y la DSA acordaron colaborar en publicar una muestra de las presentaciones. El objetivo primordial de esta colaboración es – y seguirá siendo – ofrecer un espacio para la difusión de los estudios dominicanos y, a la vez, ampliar el alcance del debate entre las personas que se dedican a dichos estudios. La revista Estudios sociales, de larga data en la República Dominicana, abre así sus páginas para que los temas dominicanos tengan un espacio donde se garantizan el rigor académico y la pulcritud editorial.
Este número de la revista tiene como eje las voces contestatarias ante las dictaduras de Trujillo y Balaguer. Hemos querido explorar la diversidad de respuestas ante el autoritarismo y la represión que vivió la población dentro y fuera de la República Dominicana durante esas sombrías décadas del siglo XX. Los proyectos de investigación que recogemos en este número de la revista reflejan la inquietud global por la construcción y reconstrucción de la memoria histórica en países donde las dictaduras, los conflictos armados y el irrespeto a los derechos humanos han dejado profundas huellas.
Estos trabajos nos invitan a pensar en este pasado relativamente reciente en que la violencia estatal y el control cultural a través de la élite llevaron a la supresión de múltiples voces que pudieran conformar nuestra heterogénea identidad nacional. Cada uno de los ensayos largos de este número explora un aspecto de la exclusión sistemática que ocurrió durante las décadas en que Trujillo y Balaguer detentaron la presidencia y durante los años caóticos de transición entre una dictadura y la siguiente.

Dr. Eve Hayes de Kalaf Book Launch: Legal Identity, Race and Belonging in the Dominican Republic: From Citizen to Foreigner
Congratulations to Dr. Eve Hayes de Kalaf on the launch of her book, Legal Identity, Race and Belonging in the Dominican Republic: From Citizen to Foreigner (2021), published by Anthem Press.
Author: Dr Eve Hayes de Kalaf, IMLR Visiting Fellow
Chair: David Howard, Associate Professor in Sustainable Urban Development, University of Oxford
Discussants:
Junot Díaz, Dominican-American writer and creative writing professor, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Author of 'This is How you Lose Her' and 'The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao'
Raj Chetty, associate professor, English Department, St John's University. Author of Dominican Black Studies in The Black Scholar
Over the next ten years, states are carrying out large-scale registrations in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The SDGs aim to provide more than one billion people around the world with evidentiary proof of their legal and, increasingly, digital existence by 2030. This book identifies a connection between the role of international actors, such as the World Bank and the United Nations, in promulgating the universal provision of legal identity and links these with arbitrary measures to restrict access to citizenship paperwork from migrant-descended populations. The book provides the definitive analysis of the events leading up to the controversial 2013 Constitutional Tribunal ruling that rendered the Dominican plaintiff Juliana Deguis Pierre stateless. Hayes de Kalaf illustrates how measures that purposely blocked people of Haitian ancestry from accessing their legal identity not only affected undocumented and stateless populations – persons living at the fringes of citizenship – but also had a major impact on documented people; Dominicans already in possession of a state-issued birth certificate, national identity card and/or passport. The book illustrates the complex and contradictory ways in which ID systems are experienced, thus challenging the assumption within current development policy that the provision of ID to everyone, everywhere will lead to the inclusion of all citizens.
Eve Hayes de Kalaf has an extensive academic and professional background working in Latin America and the Caribbean. She obtained a distinction in a PGDip in Human Development with the United Nations in 2010 and a Master’s degree at the Institute for the Study of the Americas, University of London in 2011. She completed her PhD in Latin American Studies from the University of Aberdeen in 2018. Eve is currently Visiting Fellow at the Institute of Modern Languages Research (IMLR), former Stipendiary Fellow of the Centre for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CLACS), University of London and honorary fellow at the Department of Modern Languages and Cultures, University of Liverpool.

Co-sponsored by the Dominican Studies Association, National Supermarket Association, and the CUNY DSI, the reception was hosted by the Hispanic Society Museum & Library.
Prominent members of the academic community attended the reception including City University of New York Chancellor Félix Matos Rodríguez, who also provided some kind words of President DeFilippis. Several CUNY college presidents were in attendance including President Vincent Boudreau (City College of New York), President Bereneca Johnson Eanes (York College), President Larry D. Johnson, Jr. (Guttman Community College. President Christine Mangino (Queensborough Community College), President Claudia V. Schrader (Kingsborough Community College), and President Thomas A. Isekenegbe (Bronx Community College).
The event featured several prominent speakers including Chancellor Félix Matos Rodríguez; CUNY Trustee Mayra Linares-García; Dr. Ramona Hernández, director of the CUNY Dominican Studies Institute; Guillaume Kientz, director and CEO of the Hispanic Society Museum & Library; Mariano Díaz of the National Supermarket Association; City Council Member Carmen de la Rosa; Dean Ana García Reyes of Hostos Community College; and Professor Nelson Santana of Bronx Community College.
Several board members of the Dominican Studies Association were present including Co-Chair Dean Ana García Reyes, Dr. Ana-Ofelia Rodríguez, Director Evelyn Fernández-Ketcham, Mr. José García, Dr. Luana Ferreira, Dr. Norma Fuentes, and Professor Nelson Santana. Dr. Silvio Torres-Saillant wrote a message on behalf of the DSA, which can be read below:
Words for Dr. Daisy Cocco De Filippis: 8th President of Hostos by Dr. Silvio Torres-Saillant
Greetings to you all from Syracuse, where the weather is still trying to make up its mind about matching the season it is supposed to match. Please accept my regret for not being able to join you in person as I would have wished. Today was a heavy teaching day for me, and I need to be here tomorrow first thing in the morning for momentous committee work in the English Department, followed quickly by meetings that I cannot postpone with student organizations for which I serve as Faculty Advisor.
These words from afar are no match for the big hug and the congratulations I would extend in person to Dr. Daisy Cocco De Filippis, dear friend and indispensable colleague, on this 30th of September, in the year of our Lord 2021, when key New York Institutions have come together to salute her achievements.
Dr. Cocco De Filippis has been a trailblazer at multiple fronts: in women’s and gender studies scholarship that exposes patriarchal instincts as a factor in the representation of women in literature in the best-known corpus of writings; defense of ethnic, working class, and linguistic minority studies; opening doors for students and faculty from formerly excluded populations; forging communities of knowledge in urgent subject areas; and leadership in higher ed administration as a Dean in CUNY, a Provost at Hostos, and as the successful President of Naugatuck Valley Community College in Connecticut for 12 years.
Dr. Cocco de Filippis stood as a staunch ally of the Dominican Studies Institute Project when it began in 1991 and continues into its present splendor under the able stewardship of Dr. Ramona Hernández. With her “tertulias,” a gathering space of solidarity and creativity, she helped to open doors for many women writers in the Greater New York region. She also led the way for the creation of the Dominican Studies Association (DSA), a professional organization in academia that promotes exchange among scholars from around the world who work on Dominican subjects.
With the foregoing minuscule outline of her career in mind, it is a no brainer that the City University of New York should appoint Dr. Daisy Cocco De Filippis as the 8th Eugenio Maria de Hostos Community College President, and that the CUNY Dominican Studies Institute, the Hispanic Society of America, the National Supermarket Association, and the Dominican Studies Association should jointly mark this truly festive occasion. As co-Chair of DSA, along with Dean Ana Garcia-Reyes, on behalf of the association and ourselves, I send you, Dear Daisy, our warmest congratulations. All the best to the sponsors of the event and best wishes to all in attendance. Regards,
Silvio Torres-Saillant on behalf of the Dominican Studies Association
The Struggle for Freedom in La Española: Commemorating the 500th Anniversary of the First Slave Revolt in the Americas

About this event
December 2 & 3, 2021 | Virtual Conference
HONORING CARLOS ESTEBAN DEIVE: The Man and his Legacy
On the second day of Christmas in December of 1521, African Black enslaved people near Santo Domingo City broke free from their captivity, took to the streets, taking the lives of Spanish colonists that kept them in bondage and bought them as commodities. Consequently, the Spanish authorities issued laws to punish the rebels and prevent Black people from attempting to rise up again for their freedom. The Santo Domingo Slave Revolt of 1521 and the Slave Laws of 1522 have been recorded as the first of their kind in the history of the Americas. It is the plantation of Diego Colón, the son of Cristóbal Colón and Viceroy of the Indies, located on the north-west of today’s Santo Domingo Province, that became the scenario for the historic insurgence. The enraged mob moved westward along the Nigua River basin to Azua, another hub of early plantation slavery, planting terror on their path in an unbridled race away from evil. The Struggle for Freedom in La Española: Commemorating the 500th Anniversary of the First Slave Revolt in the Americas conference seeks to remember and honor the 500th anniversary of such a transcendental moment that marked forever the history of resistance of Black people in the New World.
