In the Dominican Republic, Professor Gates explores how race has been socially constructed in a society whose people reflect centuries of inter-marriage, and how the country's troubled history with Haiti informs notions about racial classification. In Haiti, Professor Gates tells the story of the birth of the first-ever black republic, and finds out how the slaves's hard fight for liberation over Napoleon Bonaparte's French Empire became a double-edged sword.

    You fit the category of how many Dominicans can be so ignorant and arrogant about the Haitian people,when in fact the Dominicans have just as much the same heritage the Haitians.The people in Haiti live in the most fucked up conditions,due to foreigners and it's own despotic leaders,that have robbed and killed many Haitian people in Haiti,to where they look worthless but in actually they are not...
