Seit der Unabhängigkeit Haitis im Jahr 1804 ist das Verhältnis der beiden auf Hispaniola liegenden Staaten in erster Linie durch Versuche geprägt, den Einfluß im jeweiligen Nachbarstaat auszuweiten. Daß der dominikanische Präsident Joaquin Balaguer dazu keine Gelegenheit ungenutzt verstreichen läßt, belegt seine Politik seit dem Staatsstreich gegen den haitischen Präsidenten Jean-Bertrand Aristide vom September 1991

In contradiction to some recently published accounts, an alternative perspective is offered on the struggle for power between Haiti & the Dominican Republic, particularly regarding the issue of the island of Hispaniola. It is argued that scholarship on this topic is flawed & one-sided, based on a distinctly anti-Haitian ideology, & perpetuates the assumption that these countries are "fated" to be enemies. The social & political function of this ideology is examined & the "fatal conflict" model that dominates these accounts is critiqued. Based on extensive ethnographic fieldwork, a reanalysis is offered of the history of Haitian-Dominican relations, revealing both past & present instances of cooperation & evidence that the interests & cultures of the two nations are converging. The real source of their continued disagreement concerns the issue of uncontrolled immigration on Hispaniola. 51 References. K. Hyatt Stewart

The central purpose of this article is to analyze the military events in the Hispaniola island in the course of the main conflicts of the reign of Carlos II, between 1673 and 1697. Unlike other borders of the Spanish monarchy, both in Europe and the Indies, where the monarchy showed its military weakness, in Hispaniola, especially between 1690 and 1695, the victory over the French forces present in the island was clear, but not definitive. So much so, that in the peace of Ryswick of 1697 was finished by officially cede sovereignty to France of the western portion of the island. ; El propósito central de este artículo es analizar los acontecimientos, sobre todo de tipo militar, vividos en La Española en el transcurso de los principales conflictos del reinado de Carlos II, entre 1673 y 1697.

Abstract
In Haitian-Dominican Counterpoint (2003), Eugenio Matibag argues that the two nations of Hispaniola have developed a symbiotic relation largely ignored by scholars, who generally regard their rapport as solely conflictual. Matibag notes the responsibility of "state-sponsored" nationalist discourses in the buildup of centuries-old tensions that have shaped the sense of collective identity on the island. His close examination of the history of paninsular relations reveals a pattern of complementariness rather than competition, especially in economic terms. Matibag, however, offers a predominantly Dominican perspective on Hispaniola, as most evident in his discussion of the Haitian figure in Dominican literature. While the pivotal part played by Haitianness in the Dominican psyche has come under increasing scrutiny in recent scholarship, the analysis of the converse phenomenon has received far less attention.
This article examines the symbolic role of Dominicanness in the Haitian literary imaginary. After a succinct recapitulation of common depictions of Haitianness in the Dominican imaginary and collective identity, followed by a survey of the gendered characterization of Dominicans in Caribbean writing and societies at large, this article briefly turns to Dominican representations in Edwidge Danticat's "Between the Pool and the Gardenias" (1993) and The Farming of Bones (1998) and then to the portrayal of the Dominican specter that figures in Gary Victor's A l'angle des rues parallèles (2003). Perhaps unexpectedly, these Haitian texts published around the turn of the millennium illustrate in many ways the complementariness and collaboration that Matibag regards as characteristic of paninsular relations on Hispaniola.

This essay extends and contributes to existing scholarship by uncovering instances of cooperation and collaboration that suggest alternative views of Hispaniola and complicate contemporary political and social realities in the Dominican Republic. It focuses on Manuel Rueda's 1998 Las metamorfosis de Makandal, in which François Makandal is imagined as a protean god. The author argues that Rueda's Makandal is best understood as the embodiment of the vanguard poetic movement, Pluralismo. The Maroon becomes a central figure in the island's story, as well as a figure of aesthetic possibilities and boundless exploration, like a pluralema. Rueda imagines a cosmic Makandal who is unhindered by racial or gender constructs, by space or time. Ultimately, he is a figure whose metamorphosis rewrites Hispaniola's story and challenges rigid binaries that limit the way we view the Dominican Republic as a nation, Dominican national identity, Dominican-Haitian relations, and—more broadly—the island of Hispaniola.

The eruption and spread of COVID-19 affords us the opportunity to look back and reflect on the role disease has played in shaping Indigenous destinies in the Americas. Discussion illuminates problems of data, chronology, impact, and identification in distinct settings — Hispaniola, Mexico, Guatemala, Ecuador, Peru, and Brazil — and situates regional findings, historically, in hemispheric and global context.
