Amabelle Desir, Haitian-born and a faithful maidservant to the Dominican family that took her in when she was orphaned, and her lover Sebastien, an itinerant sugarcane cutter, decide they will marry and return to Haiti at the end of the cane season. However, hostilities toward Haitian laborers find a vitriolic spokesman in the ultra nationalist Generalissimo Trujillo who calls for an ethnic cleansing of his Spanish speaking country. As rumors of Haitian persecution become fact, as anxiety turns to terror, Amabelle and Sebastien's dreams are leveled to the most basic human desire: to endure. Based on a little known historical event, this extraordinarily moving novel memorializes the forgotten victims of nationalist madness and the deeply felt passion and grief of its survivors. 600 10 $a Trujillo Molina, Rafael LeoÌnidas, $d 1891-1961 $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Dominican Republic $x History $y 1930-1961 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Massacres $z Dominican Republic $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Haitians $z Dominican Republic $x History $y 20th century $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Women domestics $z Dominican Republic $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Plantation life $z Dominican Republic $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Dominican-Haitian Conflict, 1937 $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Refugees $z Dominican Republic $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Haitians $z Dominican Republic $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Genocide $z Dominican Republic $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Dominican Republic $v Fiction. 651 0 $a Haiti $v Fiction. 655 7 $a Historical fiction. $2 gsafd 941 $a 29 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20240702015107.0 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417014401.0 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20230718073607.0 952 $l CMPE792 $d 20230629011153.0 952 $l N2AX314 $d 20210728015835.0 952 $l DZPB423 $d 20201013040552.0 952 $l BOPG851 $d 20181006021510.0 952 $l MXPG943 $d 20180720031108.0 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20180719015425.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180203043105.0 952 $l URAX314 $d 20170609040947.0 952 $l GDPF771 $d 20170418032656.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160819041741.0 952 $l SAPG074 $d 20160202023358.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20150916034052.0 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20150404020814.0 952 $l SCPC074 $d 20140131013227.0 952 $l WHPE115 $m Fic Dan $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l UNUX074 $m 813/.54 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l S1PD771 $m F Danticat $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l RXPC135 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l PTAX572 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l OMAX631 $m 813 Da 5, fa $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l O3AX572 $m D236f $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l LGPB975 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l JLPF081 $m F Dan $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l HHPC765 $m F DAN $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l CBPF522 $m F D193 $d 20090701080000.0 952 $l AXPF626 $d 20090701080000.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F3D77B5C2AF711DE8FDD3907A8D7520A 994 $a 02 $b IOSInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
