Perceived and Pursued Opportunities from Mass Deportation Threats
The threat of deportation is a common experience shared by migrants around the world. Migrant-serving nonprofit organizations must also contend with these threats. While there is considerable research on how nonprofits serve migrants, there is a lack of research that explores what mass deportation threats may mean for nonprofits actors and their work. In order to address this gap, this study explores the case of the Dominican Republic where there…
Household Characteristics and Resource Access among Haitian and Haitian Dominican Families in the Puerto Plata Area, Dominican Republic
Considerable research has focused on the social, political, and economic marginalization of Haitians and Haitian Dominicans living in the Dominican Republic, particularly in rural areas. Yet studies rarely discuss household sociodemographic information and the material lives of this population in urban and peri-urban neighborhoods using a comparative framework that takes into consideration national and regional-level data. We intend to help fill …
Building Local Capacity for Monitoring Health Through Nutritional Status Training in the Dominican Republic
In this article, we discuss and evaluate a project aimed at capacity building for staff at a school that serves Haitian immigrant and Dominico-Haitian students in the Dominican Republic. The purpose of this analysis is to advance field-based educational practices that have the power to promote self-determination related to health and wellness. To accomplish this aim, we describe the training of school staff members by our nine-person team, which …
Everyday Resilience Strategies of Haitian Immigrant-Serving NGOs in the Dominican Republic
An organization that has everyday resilience can withstand ongoing adversities. Previous studies on organizational resilience commonly examine capabilities to bounce back from acute disturbances such as natural disasters. This study, however, explores the strategies that nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) employ to persist in the face of chronic challenges. In doing so, I analyze qualitative interviews with 20 NGO actors, who serve the Haitian …
Living conditions and health care usage of Haitian families in the Dominican Republic
Previous research has drawn attention to the health risks and poor living conditions that families of Haitian descent contend with in the Dominican Republic, particularly in rural, agricultural communities. Less clearly described is whether these problems persist as households transition to non-agricultural work and increasingly urban residence patterns. This study compares the use of health care services and access to water, sanitation, and food…
Constructing Action
This article explores the experiences of third sector development actors and the actions that they took during the Dominican Republic’s National Regularization Plan for Foreigners until its expiration in the summer of 2015. The study employs an interpretivist approach that assumes that third sector development actors construct their roles through an interactive process based on their co-created interpretations and negotiated meanings ascribed to …
Community-Based Participatory Research and the Co-Construction of Community Knowledge
From a community-based perspective, all that is known about a community is obtained through intersubjective engagement. But how, exactly, is knowledge socially constructed and revealed in community-based projects? This article addresses this question by focusing on the use of narratives to understand a community. First, the importance of stories for gaining insight into a community’s reality is presented, followed by an examination of how this in…
Engaging a Community-based Perspective
The purpose of this article is to bring to the forefront the inconsistency of so-called “grassroots” organizations that operate by using traditional structures. The case of Educate Everyone, a nonprofit organization in the Dominican Republic, is utilized to illustrate this incompatibility at the organizational level, and identify the ways in which this issue plays out in a project. Additionally, possibilities for the organization to employ a comm…
