Results from the Violin study
The results show the need for additional action to reduce IVV against migrants, especially in the identified public institutions focusing on immigration offices, health care institutions and city councils/district offices. Training and supervision could be set up for the employees of these institutions as IVV has a negative impact on mental health

Yo no hablo haitiano, hablo patuá”
This qualitative case study analyzes how inhabitants of transnational communities in rural Dominican Republic, known as bateyes, construct linguistic diversity arising from the coexistence of Spanish and Haitian Creole within the context of migration dynamics. The research was conducted in August 2022 with 11 bilingual Spanish-Creole inhabitants of 12 bateyes in the Dominican Republic. The data were analyzed using discourse analysis and linguisti…
Le répertoire linguistique de la tumba francesa entre Saint-Domingue, Cuba et Haïti
Déclarée patrimoine immatériel de l’humanité par l’Unesco en 2008, l’expression artistique cubaine appelée tumba francesa combine des chants en créole haïtien et espagnol avec des percussions et de la danse. Elle remonte à l’immigration à Cuba de Français et de leurs esclaves dès le début de la Révolution haïtienne. À partir de l'analyse linguistique d’un corpus de 30 chants, nous montrerons que la tumba francesa est née de trois processus de tra…
The association of perceived ethnic discrimination and institutional verbal violence with chronic stress in an immigrant sample
Immigrants are exposed to a variety of stressors, such as ethnic discrimination, and therefore experience a higher risk of developing adverse health outcomes. However, the role of potentially protective psychological factors is not well-studied. The present study addresses the question how discrimination and institutional verbal violence (IVV) are associated with chronic stress in an immigrant sample. In addition, this study highlights moderating…
What Is a Batey? Origins and Trajectories of an Antillean Concept / ¿Qué es un batey? Orígenes y trayectorias de un concepto antillano
This article explores the meaning of the term “batey,” which can be broadly defined as a distinct type of settlement in the Dominican Republic, closely linked to sugar cane cultivation and transnational migration dynamics with Haiti. Drawing on historical documentation, we examine semantic changes in the term, from its pre-Columbian origins through the colonial period to the present. We also present contemporary emic perspectives on what constitu…
Inventing the savage
In this article, we examine the discursive construction of the Sapara people of the Ecuadorian Amazon in the writings of travelers who explored the region in the second half of the 19th century. We focus mainly on the ways in which these writings reflect prevailing ideologies of the time, according to which 'civilized' human societies could be distinguished from 'savage' ones. In doing this, we analyze the representation of different aspects of t…
La tumba francesa à Cuba
La tumba francesa est une tradition musicale cubaine chantée en créole et en espagnol, qui trouve ses origines dans l’immigration de colons et personnes esclavagisées de Saint-Domingue, réfugiés dans la région orientale de l’île de Cuba après la révolte de 1791 et les événements qui s’ensuivirent. À partir d’un corpus de 30 chants, publié par l’UNESCO (2008) à l’occasion de la reconnaissance de la tumba francesa comme patrimoine de l’humanité, no…
Language ideologies among Spanish-speaking migrants in Germany
When migrants move to a new country, they often encounter challenges in understanding and being understood. Narratives serve as a way for individuals to make sense of these experiences, reflecting on their own and other people’s actions, beliefs, attitudes, and intentions while weaving them into coherent stories. This study examines narratives of problematic language incidents among Latin American migrants living in Germany within a language ideo…
Ethnic difference and language ideologies in popular Dominican literature
In the vast amount of popular and folkloric literature which depicts everyday life in the rural Dominican Republic, Haitian characters are perpetually present. In particular, Juan Antonio Alix's (1833-1918
Language maintenance and language loss in marginalized communities
The so called bateyes, former company towns for sugar workers in the Dominican Republic, are today marginalized communities with a high concentration of Dominicans of Haitian descent and illegal immigrants from Haiti. In this article, a first approach is made to describe the language contact situation in the Dominican
