Discusses the generous proposal of the Dominican government to the Jewish refugees from Germany and Austria to settle in Sosua against the background of the reluctance of most American countries to take in Jewish refugees. Notes that the USA not only put up "paper walls" in the way of Jewish refugees eager to enter the country, but from April-May 1940 (when the war broke out in Europe) tried to impede Jewish immigration into the Dominican Republic.

Seven hundred and fifty Jewish refugees fled Nazi Germany and founded the agricultural settlement of Sosúa in the Dominican Republic, then ruled by one of Latin America’s most repressive dictators, General Rafael Trujillo. In Tropical Zion, Allen Wells, a distinguished historian and the son of a Sosúa settler, tells the compelling story of General Trujillo, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and those fortunate pioneers who founded a successful employee-owned dairy cooperative on the north shore of the island. Why did a dictator admit these desperate refugees when so few nations would accept those fleeing fascism? Eager to mollify international critics after his army had massacred 15,000 unarmed Haitians, Trujillo sent representatives to Évian, France, in July, 1938 for a conference on refugees from Nazism. Proposed by FDR to deflect criticism from his administration’s restrictive immigration policies, the Évian Conference proved an abject failure. The Dominican Republic was the only nation that agreed to open its doors. Obsessed with stemming the tide of Haitian migration across his nation’s border, the opportunistic Trujillo sought to “whiten” the Dominican populace, welcoming Jewish refugees who were themselves subject to racist scorn in Europe. The Roosevelt administration sanctioned the Sosúa colony. Since the United States did not accept Jewish refugees in significant numbers, it encouraged Latin America to do so. That prodding, paired with FDR’s overriding preoccupation with fighting fascism, strengthened U.S. relations with Latin American dictatorships for decades to come. Meanwhile, as Jewish organizations worked to get Jews out of Europe, discussions about the fate of worldwide Jewry exposed fault lines between Zionists and Non-Zionists. Throughout his discussion of these broad dynamics, Wells weaves vivid narratives about the founding of Sosúa, the original settlers and their families, and the life of the unconventional beach-front colony.

This report argues that the Haitians currently seeking asylum in the Dominican Republic are in urgent need of support from international refugee organizations, including UNHCR, and from the Dominican Government. After portraying the current difficulties of Haitians in obtaining asylum in the Dominican Republic and the poor treatment of those who have entered, the author traces the history of tension between the two countries. Special attention is given to the treatment of Haitian cane cutters in the Dominican Republic and other forms of cheap labour. The author examines Decree 233-91 of June 13, 1991, ordering that all Haitians under 16 and over 60 be forcibly repatriated. The treatment of the persons expelled is described through the recounting of individual cases. After having described the forced return, the report focuses on the situation of the Haitian refugees in the Dominican Republic. The author states that 'the attitude of the Dominican authorities toward refugees can at best be described as cautious; at worst, it is openly hostile'. Information is given on Haitian refugees in the Dominican Republic and the escape routes they took to get there. Particular mention is made of the Dajabon 23, a group of refugees confined to a Church. Criticisms are presented of the efforts of the Dominican Government and UNHCR to help the refugees. The report concludes with recommendations for the international community, UNHCR, and the Haitian Government. A selected bibliography is also included in the report.

Conflict, urbanization, climate change, globalization and a host of other factors are contributing to the current era of mass migration and displacement. But while hundreds of millions of people are on the move between different cities, countries and continents, within this larger process there is also a distinct minority and indigenous experience that can shape every step of the journey. Indeed, though the specific role that identity can play is not always recognized, for many communities this may be at the heart of their decision to migrate. Understanding migration from a minority and indigenous rights perspective provides an important lens to assess the dynamics of different stages of the journey: the exclusion and persecution that can drive the initial decision to migrate, the ways that discrimination can profoundly shape the experiences of migrants in transit and the continued presence of ethnic or religious prejudice even for those fortunate enough to reach their intended destination. But while all too often migration may only replicate the cycle of exclusion, it can also offer the possibility of safety and better opportunities for marginalized communities. This volume explores some of the key forces shaping minority and indigenous migration across the world today, with regional case studies illustrating the particular challenges faced by different groups. Together they illustrate the importance of a rights-based approach to migration, prioritizing protection and inclusion – including of those belonging to minorities and indigenous peoples – instead of containment or deportation.
