When Dominicans publicly demand respect for the human rights of Haitian migrants, they are imagining those migrants as their kin, as family, friends, or neighbors whose needs are theirs as well. This powerful experience of Haitian-Dominican kinship begs us to explore how, when, and why Antilleans choose to recognize each other as kin or as outsiders. To understand the inclusions and exclusions embedded in Antillean kinship narratives, I examine how a variety of political, literary, media, and popular narratives have represented racial mixture, gender relations, and sexual and ethnic differences to discuss what kinds of political kinship seem possible among Antilleans.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For the complete publication: <a href=\"http:\/\/csws.uoregon.edu\/docs\/publications\/ResearchMatters\/Spring_15_CSWS_RM.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Spring 2015: <em>CSWS Research Matters<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Spring 2015: CSWS Research Matters\u00a0 \u201cOur Caribbean Kin: Race and Nation in the Neoliberal Antilles,\u201d by Ala\u00ed\u00a0Reyes-Santos, Assistant Professor, University of Oregon \u2028Department of Ethnic Studies Our Caribbean Kin, published by Rutgers University Press in 2015, disentangles the affective component&hellip;<\/p>\n<p class=\"more-link-p\"><a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/csws-archive.uoregon.edu\/csws-research-matters-spring-2015-alai-reyes-santos-our-caribbean-kin-race-and-nation-in-the-neoliberal-antilles\/\">Read more &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[93,17,66,41],"tags":[314,56,375,374,158],"class_list":["post-22114","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-african-diasporas","category-faculty-affiliates","category-grant-winners","category-research-matters","tag-alai-reyes-santos","tag-csws","tag-our-caribbean-kin","tag-research-matters","tag-uo"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/csws-archive.uoregon.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22114","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/csws-archive.uoregon.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/csws-archive.uoregon.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csws-archive.uoregon.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/9"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csws-archive.uoregon.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=22114"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/csws-archive.uoregon.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22114\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33159,"href":"https:\/\/csws-archive.uoregon.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22114\/revisions\/33159"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/csws-archive.uoregon.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=22114"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csws-archive.uoregon.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=22114"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/csws-archive.uoregon.edu\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=22114"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
