Streszczenie:

Throughout the history of the Dominican Republic, theater has played an instrumental role in the cultural life its people, one which transcends purely artistic and cultural dimensions extending its influence into the political and social fabric of the nation. In spite of Spanish colonization and later Haitian occupation, a nascent national identity began forming early on. The staging of certain plays exposed latent conflicts and revealed sectorial, class interests. Theater provided a means of expression for popular sentiments, thus revealing an urge by the people to manifest their concerns, usually under the heavy weight of censorship. This thesis focuses on key moments of the first 140 years of Dominican Republic theater. It is organized into three chapters: "Historical Antecedents", "Theater of the Dictatorship" and "Theater of the Post-Dictatorship." The first chapter deals with the struggle for independence through 1844; the next focuses on the theatrical plays and political climate of bloody Rafael Leonidas Trujillo dictatorship which spanned from 1930 to his assassination in 1961, and the third presents the theater that appeared in the subsequent years of the equally repressive Joaquin Balaguer presidency (1966-1978). The analysis of these key historical moments, in conjunction with the dramaturgy of playwrights such as Franklin Domínguez, Marcio Veloz Maggiolo and Héctor Incháustegui Cabral, maps the function of theater as a tool of raising awareness, transmitting ideologies, and unifying a nation, in spite of despotism and oppression often disguised as democracy. As such, it documents the role that theatre played during a nation-building process that stages the history of political repression, lack of freedom of expression as well as social and political injustice.

Streszczenie:

In 2013, the Dominican Republic’s highest court ruled to revoke birthright citizenship for over 200,000 Dominicans of Haitian descent. Ruling TC 168-13 prompted dialogue about race and racism in the country, breaking the racial silence that accompanies mestizaje (racial mixture). Scholars viewed this ruling through the lens of “Black denial” whereby Dominicans’ failure to adopt Black identities, despite being largely afrodescendant, fuels the racialization of Haitians as Black. Less evident in examinations of Dominican racial politics are anti-racist and anti-xenophobic organizing. Addressing the gap in scholarship on Dominican blackness, this dissertation project adopts an ethnographic approach to examine how Domicans of Haitian descent, most notably through Reconoci.do, a movement of denationalized youth, as well as the natural hair movement, engage with race. As one of the few well-articulated areas of Dominican society engaged with blackness, the natural hair movement provides a useful counterpoint for examining the intersections between blackness and Haitianess. In this work, I propose that natural hair has the potential to destabilize Haitian racialization yet, concurrently threatens to decouple the anti-racist movement from Dominico-Haitian struggles. These intersections illuminate the complex relationships within the heterogenous anti-racist movement. Through a historically rooted examination of constructions of race and nation in immigration policies, censuses, and national identity cards, this dissertation asserts that immigration policies were designed to benefit the dominant sugarcane economy at the expense of migrants and thus state efforts in 2014 to address indocumentation continued earlier discriminatory patterns, disproportionately impacting the Haitian diaspora. These practices are best understood as spectacles (De Genova 2013) that produce migrant illegality and, in particular, an inherited illegality for Dominican-born children that violates their constitutional rights to citizenship. Furthermore, the state constructs the population as non-black while publicly undermining anti-racist organizing and this research finds that activists draw on transnational images of blackness to challenge national representations of a modern blackness. Identifying mestizaje and the color continuum as obstacles to organizing, many activists conceptualize blackness as hypodescent, whereby any African ancestry engenders a Black identity. I argue that, while essentialist, this strategy broadens identification with Dominico-Haitians.

La mia tesi tratta dell'immigrazione haitiana in Repubblica Dominicana; in particolare, dopo una prima parte introduttiva in cui si spiegano i contesti storico e sociale, e in cui viene fatta un'analisi proprio sull'immigrazione, il focus è il tema del pregiudizio dominicano nei confronti degli haitiani e l'accesso alla giustizia da parte segli stessi. La gestione della giustizia dominicana nei confronti degli immigrati haitiani infatti, è un tema complesso che, anche grazie a interviste fatte a persone che lavorano in loco, trova la sua esplicazione soprattutto nella parte conclusiva dell'elaborato.

While baseball is typically associated with the United States for most Western readers, the sport was already being played in Cuba, Japan, and the Dominican Republic before the United States fully realized its own Major League system. During the First World War, the United States invaded and occupied Santo Domingo in an attempt to maintain hegemony in the Western Hemisphere. Dominican intellectuals in the capital city utilized baseball in their nation-building endeavor, seeking to prove that not only were they capable of performing their own westernization, but that Santo Domingo was the modern heir of ancient Athens in the New World.

Streszczenie:

The integration of immigrants into host societies has been a topic of longstanding interest in the sociology of migration, whereas the study of transnationalism has only emerged in the last few years. Globalization, fueled by the rapid development of transportation and communication technologies, has been one of the principal factors in the rise of transnationalism. The aim of this study is to clarify the links between the immigrants' integration into the host society and the transnational activities in which they get involved.
The initial hypothesis of this study was that immigrants' involvement in narrow transnational activities is linked to their weaker integration into Quebec society. To test this hypothesis, a series of interviews was conducted with members of the Dominican community of Montreal. These Dominicans were involved in varying levels of transnational activities within political, economic, and cultural spheres. The interviews were aimed at determining the integration process experienced by the different interviewees.
The results of this study showed, in contrast to the hypothesized predictions, that involvement in transnational activities was not linked to lesser levels of integration. In fact, the Dominicans involved in the most intensive transnational activities revealed a capacity to integrate into the receiving society as easily as other Dominicans, often showing a greater dynamism in their integration. Involvement in intensive transnational activities seems to show a capacity on the part of some immigrants to grow and develop in two universes at the same time, that of the receiving and that of the sending society.

Streszczenie:

Un reto fundamental en las sociedades multiculturales es cómo fortalecer y potenciar la integración de la población inmigrada desde una perspectiva intercultural e inclusiva. Este reto adquiere una relevancia especial cuando se trata de la integración de los hijos e hijas de familias procedentes de la inmigración. Desde esta perspectiva, esta investigación se ha centrado en analizar, desde una perspectiva amplia, los procesos de integración que están siguiendo los adolescentes de origen dominicano reagrupados por sus familias en Barcelona, concretamente, dentro del contexto sociocultural del barrio de Sant Pere, Santa Caterina y la Ribera del distrito de Ciutat Vella. Desde una concepción de la integración como un proceso dinámico, bidireccional, de interrelación entre sociedad de acogida e inmigrados, hemos desarrollado un modelo de análisis que permite realizar una interpretación de los procesos de integración en adolescentes procedentes de familias inmigradas, a partir del estudio de algunas de las dimensiones que conforman la integración de los inmigrantes en sociedades que se definen como multiculturales, tales como son las dimensiones: estructural, psicosocial, social, cultura-identitaria y perspectivas de vida en el proceso de la integración. Los resultados de este estudio permiten responder a cuestiones respecto a cómo se están integrando los adolescentes de origen dominicano en el conjunto de la sociedad receptora, qué elementos les están sirviendo de apoyo o de barreras en sus procesos de integración y cómo podría la educación ayudar a fortalecer, aún más, la integración de este u otros colectivos con similares características en la sociedad de acogida. Para responder a estas cuestiones se ha realizado esta investigación de naturaleza cualitativa orientada a la comprensión, en la que se ha utilizado la entrevista semi-estructurada como método de recogida de información. En el estudio han participado 30 adolescentes de origen dominicano, de quienes se han recogido sus experiencias migratorias y de integración en Barcelona. También, en el estudio se han obtenido las opiniones de 36 fuentes de información, tanto de la sociedad receptora como de miembros de la comunidad dominicana residente en Barcelona, sobre cómo perciben la integración de los sujetos que han sido objeto de estudio de esta investigación. El desarrollo del estudio consta de dos grandes partes. Una primera parte, en el que exponemos el marco conceptual del que se ha partido, el cual, se refiere al “estudio de la integración de los inmigrantes en sociedades multiculturales”, en esta parte se finaliza con la presentación de la metodología y diseño elaborado para el desarrollo de la investigación. Una segunda parte, en la que se presentan los resultados de los dos estudios realizados: el estudio exploratorio con diversas fuentes de información y el estudio de profundización con los propios adolescentes de origen dominicano. Posteriormente, presentamos las conclusiones generales del estudio, las bases para una propuesta de intervención socioeducativa que contribuya potenciar la integración en hijos e hijas de familias procedentes de la inmigración. Finalmente, se señalan las limitaciones con las que nos hemos encontrado durante la realización del estudio y las prospectivas que tiene la investigación que se ha llevado a cabo.
One of the fundamental challenges in multicultural societies is to strengthen and integrate the migrant population from an intercultural and inclusive perspective. This challenge is especially important when we are dealing with the integration of the children of migrant families. In this research I will analyze the integration processes that Dominican teenagers regrouped by their families in Barcelona are undertaking, particularly in Sant Pere, Santa Caterina and La Ribera neighborhoods in Ciutad Vella. Taking into consideration integration as a dynamic, bidirectional and interrelational process between welcoming society and immigrants, I will analyze this process through different dimensions such as: structural, psychosocial, social, cultural, identitarian and other related with life perspectives. The results of this research may answer questions like: how the Dominican teenagers are integrating in the welcoming society, what elements are they helping or damaging their integration process, how education can foster the integration of this population and others similar to them. I have used qualitative research methodology and particularly semi-structured interview to collect information. 30 Dominican teenagers participated in the research sharing with me their migratory and integration experiences in Barcelona. I also got the opinions of 36 persons either form the welcoming society and the Dominican community in Barcelona on how they perceive the integration of the teenagers, In the first part of this thesis I expose the theoretical framework in which I analyze the integration of immigrants in multicultural societies and the methodology that I chose for the research. In the second part I present the results of the research based on the fieldwork with the teenagers, the members of the Dominican community and the members of the welcoming society. Then I try to lay the basis for a socio-pedagogic intervention that could help to integrate the children of immigrant populations. Finally I highlight the limitations I had during my research and the possibility of future research.

Streszczenie:

The general goal of the present study was to assess mathematics achievement at the end of Grade 12 in the Dominican Republic, with particular attention to school and regional differences, as well as gender differences. Also, gains in achievement were examined by comparing the achievement of students in Grade 12 to that of students finishing Grade 11. In addition, the performance of Grade 12 students was compared to that of Grade 8 students as assessed in the Teaching and Learning of Mathematics in the Dominican Republic (TLMDR) study and to that of students from other countries in the Second International Mathematics Study (SIMS). The sample included 1271 students in Grade 12 and 1413 in Grade 11, distributed over 49 schools. Three types of schools were sampled, public schools, and two kinds of private schools. They were urban schools located in the twelve largest cities of the country. These cities were grouped into three regions of similar size. The mathematics test consisted of 70 multiple-choice items distributed over two test forms. Students' scores were analyzed to assess how much mathematics students in Grade 12 know. Grade 11 data were used as a surrogate for pre-test scores to estimate gains in achievement. School means were used in an analysis of variance designed to examine the effect of school type and region on mathematics achievement. Males' and females' scores were used to analyze gender differences in achievement at the item level, and within each of the school types and regions in the sample. Grade 12 students' responses to 14 items were compared to those of Grade 8 students. Finally, Grade 12 students' responses to 10 items were compared to those of students from other countries in SIMS. Among the findings of this study were: 1. Students in Grade 12 scored poorly on the mathematics test. Grade 11 and Grade 12 students obtained similar achievement levels which indicated that the achievement gains between the two grades were very small. 2. School type and region were found to significantly affect mathematics achievement, but no interaction effect was found. 3. The comparison of school type means showed that only one type of private school significantly outperformed public schools. This type of school also outperformed the other type of private school. 4. The comparison of region means did not produce the predicted outcome. The pairwise comparisons showed that none of the regions was significantly different from the other, despite the fact that the region factor was significant. 5. The analysis of gender differences in mathematics achievement showed that males performed significantly better than females. At the item level, males outperformed females on only 19 items. Most of these items dealt with geometry, or were at the application level. 6. Gender differences favoring males were found to be independent of school type and region. 7. Comparison between Dominican Grade 12 and Grade 8 students revealed that mathematics achievement improved between the grades for most items. 8. Dominican performance was very poor on the SIMS items and it was far behind that of other countries.

High attrition rates among Latino students have long been identified as a major problem in college. Few attempts have been made to understand the normative developmental experiences among this population. This study, based on a study of lives, a narrative approach, examines the experiences of urban Dominican-American college students. Their strategies for effectively navigating a wide variety of contexts (e.g., school, work, family, and neighborhood) are analyzed, and implications for their educational efforts are examined within a developmental framework. Gender disparities and immigrant processes are also explored. Two part interviews were completed with eleven participants. The first interview was semi-structured and the second was open-ended. Participants were also asked to collect images that represented success. Analysis of the data focused on gathering the following: 1) identifying `master `cultural narratives of Dominican immigrant experiences, especially those relating to school 2) highlighting the reproduction of culture and identity within the narratives 3) emphasizing and revealing strategies and choices that participants were making to gain success and 4) drawing attention to the immigrant experience and its salience in the psychological and developmental processes of this group of college students. The results showed that daily contexts in men's and women's lives appeared to be gendering educational experiences and opportunities for successful school outcomes. Both male and female participants cited challenges about staying in school with roles being influenced by the current social and cultural-historical context. Men's experience was uniquely challenging; their definition of success was contextualized within a framework that offered limited and negative meanings of masculinity. Women's definition of success focused on the search for independence and the desire to have a family. Education was a means of access to these goals. They experienced protection and support within their contexts. As immigrants, all students experienced a consistent negotiation of "self" and identity that led to transformative behaviors in themselves and their contexts. The current research aspires to contribute to understanding the complexity of psychological processes in immigrant groups living in the United States--beyond Dominicans and other Latinos. Of salience, it implies that institutional practices may contribute to the disengagement of young men of color.

Streszczenie:

This thesis is an examination of contemporary Dominican theatre and performance practices that have emerged as a result of the modern processes of globalization and transnationalism. It proposes and supports the existence of a burgeoning transnational Dominican performance paradigm in both New York City, home to the largest Dominican diaspora, and the homeland of the Dominican Republic. To do this effectively, the thesis has been divided into three parts, each containing three chapters. Part 1 serves largely as a review of published literature in the fields of study relevant to the topic. For example, Chapter 1 serves as an introduction to the essential characteristics of the processes of globalization and transnational migration and of the US Latino identity formations that historically have developed as a result of these processes. Chapter 2 broadly examines the varied practices that constitute the transnational performance genre while Chapter 3 specifically defines the socio-economic experience of US Latinos and the early formulations of US Latino transnational performance that developed as a result. In Part 2, the concepts of globalization and transnationalism are placed into a purely Dominican context. In Chapter 4 the socio-economic relationship between the United States and the Dominican Republic is examined while Chapter 5 addesses the cultural and racial identity issues Dominicans face in both the homeland and the New York diaspora as a result of the complex interconnections between these two locations. Chapter 6 then offers a history of the development of Dominican theatre in New York City while Chapter 7 provides an analysis of the lives and work of three Dominican theatre and performance artists living in the New York diaspora who are generating a transnational performance aesthetic as a result of negotiating the socio-cultural and economic divide that separates their residence in New York from their homeland, the Dominican Republic. Part 3 emphasizes the reciprocity of transnational performance. For example, Chapter 8 provides the argument that historically throughout the twentieth-century, theatre practices occurring in the Dominican Republic were consistently being influenced by North American theatre traditions. Chapter 9 offers an examination of the work of three specific Dominican theatre and performance artists who have been shaped by the process of “Americanization” and who, in their own unique way, are currently responding to this process in their work, providing credence to the theory that transational performance can be cultivated also in the homeland by those who have never actually migrated. The conclusion to the thesis is a reflection on the universalities of transnational Dominican performance so to use that which is taking place in New York City and the Dominican Republic as a tool for comparison in the broader study of the growing tradition of transnational performance.

Streszczenie:

Income effects associated with specific levels of erosion reduction for a representative farm in the Bao watershed area in the Dominican Republic are examined in a linear programming framework. Estimation of costs expected in response to specific levels of erosion reduction and the income effects of changes in agricultural policies on the farmer's ability to conserve soil are examined.

Results indicate that income losses will be substantial when complying with soil loss standards without introducing soil conservation practices. Net income reduction of 36% can be expected with a reduction in soil loss by 50%. With the introduction of soil conservation practices, substantial reductions in erosion can be obtained with only a minor reduction in net income. For example, with grass strips, 50% reduction in soil loss can be expected with only a 7% reduction in income.

Analysis of the effects of changes in agricultural policies indicates that restricting access to credit and changes in tenure from secure land holdings to lack of land titles does not affect the incentive to conserve soil in the short run. Furthermore, analysis of effects of changes in agricultural pricing policies indicates that the promotions of coffee, sweet potatoes, and beans represent the least-costly means of meeting the twin goals of erosion reduction and income maintenance.

Streszczenie:

The thesis addresses some aspects of the breeding biology of Dominican Gulls (Larus dominicanus) in Tasman Bay, Nelson Province, New Zealand. A synopsis of a 10 year (1980-91) nest count and banding programme of chicks is given, which illustrates an apparent reduction in pairs nesting over that period. There were significant changes in food resources available to the gulls in 1987 with the closure of several rubbish tips and fish offal dumping sites. These closures did not appear to make any difference to mean clutch size and yet the numbers of gulls breeding continued to drop. In the thesis, I review Lack's hypothesis (1954, 1968) of population regulation and conclude that the hypothesis is unlikely to explain a number of anomalies in the breeding behaviour of local populations of Dominican Gulls. Field work in three relatively small breeding colonies on Rabbit and Bells Islands in the Waimea Inlet near Nelson, is described over two breeding seasons. Sexual dimorphism of adults, pair bonding, and nest site fidelity were studied, together with the recording of egg size and weight, date of laying, clutch size, hatching dates and chick weights. Egg temperature studies were maintained throughout the incubation period. Results indicate that strong pair bonding occurs, and nest site fidelity is developed equally strongly after advantageous sites within the colony have been gained. There is a hierarchy within the nesting colonies with a gradient of increasing breeding success from the outer perimeter of the site toward the epi-centre of the colony. Nest density plays an important part in breeding success and densities in excess of 350 nest/ha initiate a tension factor within nesting colonies, which leads to parasitism and other behaviour inimical to breeding success. It is high nest densities which may eventually lead to colony abandonment. Nesting colonies develop and wane in a cyclic manner with nest densities appearing to play an important role in the dynamic pattern of the colonies. Incubation appears to start as soon as the first egg is laid, and mean egg temperatures increase as incubation progresses. Embryonic heat generation can control the rate of cooling of eggs and also the rate by which eggs are restored to full incubation temperature after being uncovered by the incubating parent. Eggs can survive temperatures in excess of 40 degrees C and low temperatures of 20 degrees C during the incubation period and still produce healthy chicks. Parental investment in the offspring, is not in terms of clutch size, nor is brood reduction attained primarily by asynchronous hatching. Rather, female parents manipulate egg quality within the clutch, and apportion investment between A, Band C eggs depending on body weight of the female and the circumstance of the nesting colony in terms of its cyclical development. It is concluded that the local populations of Dominican Gulls react in an opportunistic way to the immediate circumstances of the environment, and that factors of experience and learning are likely to influence breeding patterns of behaviour more than the adaptations by natural selection, seen by Lack as those factors which ensure the raising of the greatest number of offspring possible. I conclude that the local population of Dominican Gulls is behaving in a similar way to that hypothesised by Wynne-Edwards (1962), whereby animals attain a homeostatic state and regulate their own population numbers in order not to over-exploit the local food resource. High nest densities, infertility in eggs, and high levels of predation of both eggs and fledglings are the probable factors which have most effect on population density and breeding success, whereas food resources do not appear to have an immediate limiting effect.

At a government hospital in the town of Dajabon, in the northwestern Dominican Republic, doctors and nurses must make decisions on whether or not to treat Haitian patients who have crossed the border in search of health care. This thesis examines the discourses and practices of Haitian patients and Dominican health care providers in the context of two co-existing but contrasting rhetorics: health as a human right, and medical humanitarianism. Using data collected through semi-structured interviews and participant observation, I examine how social, political, and economic forces shape medical encounters on the Haitian-Dominican border.

O convento dominicano de Nossa Senhora da Consolação é uma das imagens da identidade, da história e da memória da cidade de Abrantes, sendo actualmente o único complexo religioso cenobita existente. Imóvel classificado, de propriedade pública municipal, conheceu ao longo da sua história diversas ocupações/funções, ocorrendo a última campanha de obras de adaptação de edifício a espaços culturais na década de noventa do século XX, existindo actualmente uma nova proposta de intervenção, agora para a cerca conventual e com a demolição de alguns edifícios fradescos. A presente dissertação de Mestrado pretende, a partir de uma abordagem à história do edifício desde a sua fundação à actualidade, da sua contextualização no panorama dominicano nacional, e da sua caracterização arquitectónica sublinhar o valor patrimonial do que hoje resta do conjunto enquanto espaço conventual. Foi a partir do reconhecimento deste valor que se procurou cumprir o objectivo primacial deste trabalho: a apresentação de uma Proposta de valorização e salvaguarda para o convento e para o espaço-cerca; ABSTRACT:The Dominican Convent of Our Lady of Consolation comprises a significant part of the identity, history and memory of the City of Abrantes, being the only remaining coenobite religious complex in the city. It is a classified, public municipal landmark that has served various purposes throughout its history of occupation / function, the last having been a re-adaptation of the edifice into cultural spaces carried out in the last decade of the XX Century with extensions now projected beyond the conventual’s enclosure. The present Masters dissertation begins with an historic approach to describe its different architectural stages from the original edifice at its foundation to the present structure. This part of the dissertation also aims to present the structure within the context of the Dominican Order as well as the national flow of history. Underlining the heritage value of the architectural make-up of what remains of the grouping of the conventual’s space. After this value has been established I seek to comply with the foremost objective of this work; the presentation of a proposal to value and safeguard the convent and the surrounding space.

The DR's economy has always been closely linked to the U.S.'s influence and policies, and specific changes in the global economic climate drove both nations to seek strategic partnerships with each other. The DR has had to make major adjustments to take advantage of potential economic opportunities, and this thesis concludes that the DR-CAFTA can be seen as a continuation of those efforts.

This master's thesis looks at the content of social studies textbooks used in public elementary education in the Dominican Republic, and analyzes the way discourse is used to construct a "national" identity. Particular emphasis is placed on the ways racial and cultural ideologies are embedded in the depictions of Dominican identity. The rationale for this study is to assess the Dominican curriculum, which rests almost entirely on the use of textbooks, and therefore draw conclusions as to the ways that Dominican children are socialized in their educational environment. To this end, this qualitative inquiry addresses the following questions: How do textbooks used in public elementary schools in the Dominican Republic portray Dominican identity? What notions of race and culture are included in these portrayals? I show that the prevailing notions of identity found in the DISESA textbooks consist of the celebration of "racial mixing," which identifies the majority of Dominicans as mulattoes, and the recognition of Spanish culture as the foremost precursor to Dominican society.
La présente thèse examine le contenu des manuels de sciences humaines utilisés pour l'éducation élémentaire publique en République Dominicaine et analyse la manière dont le discours est utilisé pour construire l'identité « nationale ». Un regard particulier est porté sur les manières par lesquelles les idéologies raciales et culturelles sont déterminées dans les représentations d'identité dominicaine. La raison fondamentale de cette étude est l'évaluation du programme d'étude dominicain qui repose presque entièrement sur l'utilisation de manuels scolaires. Cette évaluation vise à tirer des conclusions quant aux voies par lesquelles les enfants dominicains sont socialisés dans leurs environnements éducatifs. À cette fin, cette recherche qualitative répond aux questions suivantes : Comment les manuels utilisés dans les écoles primaires publiques en République Dominicaine décrivent-ils l'identité dominicaine ? Quelles notions de race et de culture sont incluses dans ces portraits ? Je démontre que les principales notions d'identité trouvées dans les manuels DISESA se composent de la célébration « de mélange de race » identifiant la majorité des dominicains comme mulâtres et de la reconnaissance de la culture espagnole comme le précurseur principal à la société dominicaine.

Slow sand filtration is a method of water treatment that has been used for hundreds of years. In the past two decades, there has been resurgence in interest in slow sand filtration, particularly as a low-cost, household-scale method of water treatment. During January 2004, the author traveled to the northwestern Dominican Republic to evaluate the performance of BioSand filters installed over the past two years. BioSand filter performance was evaluated based on flow rate, turbidity removal and total coliform removal in communities surrounding the cities of Mao, Puerto Plata and Dajabon. Filter owners were interviewed about general filter use, water storage methods, filter maintenance practices, and water use. Data analysis revealed that even though the majority of filters were removing large portions of both total coliform and E. coli contamination, no filters met the WHO water quality guideline of less than one CFU/100 ml. Analysis also revealed that at low turbidities, turbidity removal and total coliform removal are not correlated. Examination of flow rate and bacterial removal near Puerto Plata revealed that filters with fast flow rates and intermittent chlorination were observed to have the lowest total coliform removal rates. Analysis of storage data revealed that failure to use safe water storage containers leads to recontamination of filtered water. During Spring of 2004, a laboratory was conducted to examine longer-term thermotolerant coliform and turbidity removal. The study compared removal rates between two BioSand filters, one of which was paired with a geotextile prefilter used in the construction of the Peruvian Table Filter. The study revealed that thermotolerant coliform removal rates by the BioSand filter without
(cont.) the geotextile stabilized after an initial period of lower bacterial removal efficiency. Thermotolerant coliform removal in the BioSand filter with the geotextile prefilter dropped throughout the experiment, suggesting that pairing a BioSand filter with a prefilter is detrimental to filter performance. Combining the results of the survey analysis and data gathered in the Dominican Republic with the results of the laboratory analysis of Spring 2004 suggests that BioSand filter users in the Dominican Republic should continue to use their filters. If possible, BioSand filter use should be combined with post-filtration chlorination to kill the remaining bacteria. The BioSand filter is a valuable and effective household-scale water treatment method for the Dominican Republic.

Esta dissertação apresenta uma reflexão sobre História e ficção a partir da reconstrução do massacre de haitianos, em 1937, na fronteira norte da República Dominicana e da República do Haiti, dois países que formavam a então ilha Hispaniola, quando da chegada de Cristóvão Colombo no Novo Mundo. O corpus ficcional deste trabalho é o romance El Masacre se pasa a pie, do escritor e advogado dominicano Freddy Prestol Castillo, publicado em 1978, na República Dominicana. Nossa hipótese para desenvolver este trabalho foi a de que para reconstruir o genocídio dos haitianos pela ficção, o autor denuncia a ditadura de Rafael Leónidas Trujillo (1930-1961), o Trujillato, focalizando o racismo, o preconceito, a violência e aspectos negativos nutridos na memória coletiva da elite dominicana para sustentar uma rejeição histórica aos haitianos. Utilizamos um referencial teórico que nos permite buscar articulações entre História e ficção no referido romance e para isso, foi necessário recorrer aos fatos históricos que registram as diversas invasões à Hispaniola, a partir dos conceitos de racismo de Memmi (1967) e de memória, de Halbwachs (1990).
This dissertation presents a reflection on history and fiction from the reconstruction of the slaughter of haitians, in 1937, on the northern border of the Dominican Republic and Haiti, two countries that then formed the island of Hispaniola , when the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the New World. The body of this fictional work in the novel The Slaughter passed on foot, the writer and lawyer dominican Freddy Prestol Castillo, published in 1978 in the Dominican Republic. Our hypothesis to develop this work was that to rebuild the haitian genocide in fiction , the author claims the dictatorship of Rafael Leónidas Trujillo (1930-1961) , the Trujillato , focusing on racism , prejudice , violence and aspects negative nourished in the collective memory of the dominican elite to support a historic rejection of haitians. We use a theoretical framework that allows us to look for links between history and fiction in the aforementioned novel and that it was necessary to seek the historical facts recorded the various invasions of Hispaniola, from the concept of racism Memmi (1967) and memory, Halbwachs (1990).

The final product of this thesis is a high-quality recording of selected piano works by Juan Francisco García. Juan Francisco García (1892-1974), a Dominican composer, was a prominent figure in the classical music scene of the Dominican Republic during the first half of the twentieth century. As a pioneer who fostered the nationalistic musical movement in the Dominican Republic, García sought to create compositions that sounded authentically Dominican. Garcia accomplished this goal through his piano works, which are distinctly expressive, and abridged compositions exhibiting beautiful lyrical melodies and attractive rhythmic qualities. García’s piano music displays a rich variety of compositional approaches. In his early works he employed a traditional classical language, followed by impressionist and modern techniques in his later compositions. Regardless of compositional style, his piano compositions integrate various elements of Dominican folk music and dances; their programmatic and dancing nature call for an imaginative and expressive playing. The chosen pieces for this project are fine examples of Garcia’s style and show the journey of his development as a composer. This recording includes the following three piano suites: Fantasía Indígena para Piano, Suite de Impresiones para Piano and Suite para Piano, as well as seven shorter pieces: Capricho Criollo no. 1, Capricho Criollo no. 2, Quisqueyana: Capricho, Recuerdo Grato: Danza Criolla, Yo me Enceleré: Danza- Merengue, Sambumbia and Ruego: Vals al Estilo Criollo. This recording is the first consisting entirely of piano compositions by García. As a Dominican pianist, I aspire to advance and revive the interest in García’s piano works as well as to present Dominican piano music to both musicians and audiences worldwide.

Haitian university students represent a part of the increasing diversity of Haitian migrants in the Dominican Republic. Using an ethnographic approach, I explore university students’ motivations for studying in the Dominican Republic, their experiences at Dominican universities and in Dominican society, Haitian student organizations, and their future plans. Additionally, I focus on Haitian students’ experiences with discrimination and how they relate to other Haitian migrants in the Dominican Republic. I find that most students come to the Dominican Republic due to the difficulty of gaining entrance to affordable Haitian universities and logistical convenience. The university is a unique setting where Haitian and Dominican students are clearly peers, which results in increased interactions between the two groups and decreased discrimination towards Haitian students. However, Haitian students remain a relatively isolated group within the university and in the larger Dominican society. Many students reported experiencing discrimination, although students identified class, rather than race or nationality, as the main reason for discrimination. Furthermore, I focused on the role of language in migrants’ experiences. I found that while a high command of Spanish allowed migrants to avoid identification as Haitian and subsequent discrimination, Kreyòl was used as a resource to create solidarity and maintain cultural ties to Haiti. My research suggests that it is important to keep in mind the distinct notions of race and nationality in Haiti and in the Dominican Republic when considering contemporary struggles for the rights of Haitian migrants and their descendants in the Dominican Republic.

Globalisation has made logistics more important than ever in developing countries. If one business function raises their costs on a service, the end customer will usually pay the price in the store. When the end customers cannot afford the end price on a product, they will turn to other alternatives. This thesis examines how process management would affect the local population within the Dominican Republic. By beginning to question why some functions exist the effect will be economically visible in a DuPont according to the theories. Supply chain management seeks to manage the whole processes from A to Z in the most efficient way possible. The study was conducted during 8 weeks in the Dominican Republic. Eleven managers were interviewed to see how important SCM is for DR. The conclusions of the study is that Supply Chain Management is very important for DR. Well managed supply chains allow higher quality goods such as medicine and food to be accessed at a lower price by the local population. By targeting the economical position of working capital in a process an organisation can reach an increased ROI without the use economical means (increase the income/delivery service or reduce the costs).

The President of Ohio Dominican College (ODC), a liberal arts institution in Columbus, Ohio, authorized the development of a strategic plan for Academic Computing in 1989. The project initially produced a planning guide, or plan-to-plan, which defined Academic Computing and identified issues for study. These issues included (1) introducing computer-based programs; (2) increasing the availability and use of computers; (3) integrating computing throughout the curriculum; (4) meeting the Academic Computing Center's future needs; (5) offering courses through computer-based distance learning; and (6) the effects of technology on the college's administrative structure. WOTS- UP forms, interviews and a survey produced an environmental audit of internal and external forces affecting Academic Computing. Enrollment data were analyzed using the Policy Analysis and Simulation System (PASS) software package. Projections suggested that enrollment growth will be enhanced by computerizing the curriculum. National and college data indicated that enrollment in the Computer Science major will not increase. The plan recommends that ODC move toward integration of computing across the curriculum and develop programs combining Computer science with other majors. Combined majors will draw students to upper level Computer Science courses and increase enrollments in cooperating departments. To support these efforts, ODC will need a new computer laboratory and classroom. Guidelines and recommendations for these facilities are included. The plan also suggests that Ohio Dominican move toward offering courses via computer-based distance learning. Finally, no immediate change in the college's administrative structure is proposed, but periodic review of technology's effects on college operations is recommended.

This dissertation provides an analytical framework to study the political economy of policy reform in the Dominican Republic during the nineties. Based on a country study, I develop two theoretical models that replicate the mechanisms of policy approval in developing countries with weak democracies. The first model considers a pro-reform President who submits a tariff bill to an anti-reform Congress dominated by the opposition party. In between, two opposing lobbies try to get their favored policy approved. Lobbies act as Stackelberg leaders vis a vis a weak President. The behavior of the Congress is determined exogenously while the lobbies act strategically pursuing the approval of the reform bill and indirectly affecting the President's decision. I show that in such a setting external agents like the Press play an important role in the decision-making process of the political actors. The second model presents a similar framework. However, the President, who is a Stackelberg leader, is allowed only two choices, total reform or status-quo. I show how a lobby reacts to an increase in its rival's or its own size. These reactions depend on the President's level of commitment to the reform. Finally, I discuss the effect of variations in the size of the lobbies on the President's choice. The model suitably explains real events that took place in the Dominican Republic in the mid-nineties.

The study of lake sediments can provide valuable insights into lake history and climate variation throughout time. In-depth studies have been carried out at Lake Miragoane, Haiti and in high- and mid-elevation sites in the Dominican Republic, and a few other inland and coastal locations throughout the Caribbean; however, to date little has been published on prehistoric conditions in other coastal areas of Hispaniola. Laguna Alejandro (informally named by researchers) (~18.31Â°N, 71.03Â°W), on the southwest coast of the Dominican Republic, was examined to expand our knowledge of long-term environmental history in this region. This ~25 hectare lake is separated from the Caribbean Sea by a 100 m wide limestone ridge about 3â 5 m tall. We recovered two consecutive cores (0â 100 cm, 100â 185.5 cm) close to the limestone barrier to investigate the potential for paleotempestology and other paleoenvironmental reconstructions. Three AMS 14C dates indicate that the lake is ~1100 years in age. Sediment analyses revealed three major events that correlate with bands of uncharacteristic sediment composition and particle size at 74â 77.5 cm, 150.5â 153 cm, and 183.5â 185.5 cm. Four distinct strata containing serpulids and several pockets of Ammonia beccarii provided insights on changes in salinity and the connections between the lagoon and the ocean. The upper deposit (74â 77.5 cm, 620 Â±60 YBP) contains gypsum and represents a period of increased salinity within the lake brought on by drought. The two lower bands are composed of sand consistent with nearby beach sands. The 150.5â 153 cm band provides evidence of a hurricane landfall at 1022 Â± 60 YBP. The combination of biological data from 165â 183.5 cm and sediments within the 183.5â 185.5 cm band provide evidence for salinity fluctuations that indicate the closure of the lake. Sediments contained a variety of invertebrates that helped to document changes in lake chemistry through time. This study of Laguna Alejandro sediments documented lake history and provided information on recent climatic shifts in the region.

This thesis analyses the importance of race for the construction of nation and ethnicity in the Dominican Republic, a situation in which racial ancestry and spatial proximity to Haiti are paramount. Firstly, racial legacies are of primary importance among a Dominican population where cultural, linguistic and religious differences are limited. Racial differences are manipulated through the unequal standing and significance given to European, African and indigenous ancestries. European and indigenous heritages in the Dominican Republic have been celebrated at the expense of an African past. Secondly, Dominican identity is constructed vis-à-vis Haiti, most notably with respect to race and nation, and through the ancillary variables of religion and language. The importance of the Dominican Republic's shared insularity and shared history with Haiti is stressed throughout the study, though a racially-constructed fault-line has arisen from this territorial and historical association. In general terms, social geographers would describe the Dominican population as mulato/a. Dominicans, however, describe race with a plethora of colour-coded terms, ranging from coffee, chocolate, cinnamon and wheat, to the adoption of lo indio, a device which avoids using mulato/a or negro/a. The term indio/a is a key component of Dominican racial perception. It translates as 'indian', a much-used reference to the island's indigenous inhabitants before the arrival of Columbus in 1492. Negritud is associated in popular Dominican opinion with the Haitian population. Dominicanidad, on the other hand, represents a celebration of whiteness, Hispanic heritage and Catholicism. The analysis of secondary material is contextualised throughout the thesis by the results of field work undertaken during twelve months of research in the Dominican Republic, consisting of two visits between 1994 and 1995. Semi-informal interviewing of three hundred residents in three study sites focused on the issues of anti-Haitian sentiment and the bias towards a light aesthetic in Dominican society. Two survey sites were urban neighbourhoods of lower and upper-middle class status in the capital city of Santo Domingo, and the other was an area of rural settlement named Zambrana. Interviews were structured around a mixed fixed and open response survey. The first chapter introduces the outline of research and the location of survey sites. Chapter two analyses the historical basis of race in the Dominican Republic, examined in the context of relations with Haiti. The development of Dominican society from the colonial period is outlined, and the influence of anti-Haitian sentiment and the use of indio/a as an ambiguous racial term discussed with reference to contemporary opinion. The third chapter opens up the analysis of social differentiation in the Dominican Republic by considering the role of class stratification and its implication for racial identification. The development of social classes is described and the impact of race and class studied in the three survey sites. The fourth chapter addresses the role of race in popular culture, with a specific focus on the household. Racial terminology is frequently used in combination with the presuppositions inherent in a patriarchal culture. Women's roles are reviewed with particular reference to household structure, occupation and the gendered nature of race under patriarchal norms. The domestic or private sphere is a key site for the expression of patriarchy, but it is also the location for the practice of Afro-syncretic religious beliefs, which themselves are racialised and gendered. Aspects of race in everyday lives, thus, are inherently gendered, domesticated and sanctified. Chapter five expands the analysis of race to include the influence of international migration on Dominican racial identification. The Dominican Republic is a transnational society which relies on migrant remittances and commerce, in particular from the migration of Dominicans to the United States. International migration has dramatically shaped Dominican society over the last three decades. The chapter considers the effect of this two-way flow of people, capital and culture on Dominican perceptions of race. Despite the influence of transnationalism on most aspects of Dominican society, the impact of United States' race relations on migrant and non-migrant racial identity has been limited. The last two substantive chapters focus upon the specific aspects of race and nation as revealed through contemporary Dominican literature and politics. The sixth chapter reviews the importance of negritud in contemporary literature, and argues that many modern writers maintain idealised and misleading perceptions of the racial reality. Chapter seven concentrates on the impact of race during the Dominican elections in 1994 and 1996. Overt racial prejudice marked the campaigns of leading political parties, and the alleged Haitian 'threat' to Dominican sovereignty became a dominant item on the election agenda. Finally, the concluding chapter outlines existing theories of race and ethnicity, analysing their applicability to the Dominican situation and suggesting alternative viewpoints in the light of the current research. It is suggested that the promotion of a popular democratic ideology of multiculturalism could provide the basis for effective anti-racist policy in the Dominican Republic.
