Project Title

Louis, Jr., Bertin M (Kentucky, U. of) "Anti-Haitianism in Paradise: Marginalization, Stigma and Antiblackness in the Bahamas."

In his book project, Dr. Louis presents a study about the historical foundation and the contemporary realities of discrimination, stigma, and xenophobia against Haitians in the Bahamas. By studying local transformations in the Bahamas pertaining to its Haitian population, Louis offers a greater understanding of the adoption of anti-Haitianism as a political and nation-building strategy for the Bahamas and how antiblackness operates among people of African descent nationally, regionally and globally.
