1937-10: (The Parsley Massacre — Weeks After Valcin’s Essay Dominican Republic President Rafael Trujillo Casting Haitian Women Out of His Country Through a Violent Campaign of Anti-Haitianism That Placed the Dominican National Financial Crisis on the Shoulders of Haitians Working the Western Estate Lands, in Two Weeks’ Time During October 1937 Trujillo Ordering the Deportation and Execution of an Estimated 20,000 Haitians): Weeks after Valcin’s essay, Dominican Republic president Rafael Trujillo cast Haitian women out of his country through a violent campaign of anti-Haitianism that placed the Dominican national financial crisis on the shoulders of Haitians working the western estate lands. In two weeks’ time during October 1937, Trujillo ordered the deportation and execution of an estimated 20,000 Haitians — the women Valcin had imagined returning to the generous soul of the Haitian land were instead being massacred on Dominican soil, their bodies the price of the same border-crossing desperation that Valcin’s essay had so casually dismissed.
