At the dawn of the 1990s, Dominicans are one of the fastest-growing and most conspicuous immigrant groups in the United States. In contrast to the prevailing conception of migrants as forming a stream of people, this article explores the U.S.-linked Dominican migration as a distinct social group, clearly distinguishable from its nonmigrant conationals and functioning in a transnational milieu. The article examines the group's own socioeconomic, cultural, and political characteristics and its relationships with the two national states. Because of the migrants' binational character, instead of espousing policies aimed solely at affecting their mobility, the U.S. and the Dominican governments would be better advised to foster connections between the resources and demands generated by these binationals and the development efforts in the Dominican Republic and in Dominican settlements overseas.
