DescriptionThe goal for the research in this dissertation is to shed light on race construction and its connection to national identity construction during the formative years of Haiti and the Dominican Republic following their independences. I argue that though these two 21st century nation brands are so different and their early formations a century apart, the similarities in their histories are striking. Through the analysis of documents related to the independence of each side of Hispaniola; efforts to recruit immigrants to bolster and develop their different population goals; and evidence of Western influence and reception of these nations during their early image developments, I illuminate the significant role that the strategic use of visibility and invisibility in the nation image developments had in the development of two vastly different nations and nation brands in the 21st century; and contribute to the ongoing research on race in Hispaniola. This research also presents some of the connections between past nation image constructions, modern nation brands, and the long-standing persistent racial tensions between Haiti and the Dominican Republic as an attempt to lay a foundation for understanding how racial tension between the two neighbors contributed to the state of strategic representation and brand formation in the 21st century as well as the immigration tension, racism, and violence that erupted in the wake of the 2015 deadline for repatriating immigrants in the Dominican Republic.
