- Abstract
The 2010 earthquake that struck Haiti propelled an increase of the migratory flow from Haiti to the Dominican Republic. As a result, a conservative backlash throughout a variety of Dominican media ensued from ultranationalist politicians and intellectuals--elite men--expressing nativist anti-Haitian nationalist ideas. This work centers on a survey conducted on 75 Dominicans in 2010-2012 in the Dominican Republic to determine the extent to which they aligned their attitudes with those of the ultranationalist elite. Results show that although Dominican respondents embrace Dominican ultranationalist ideas they also reject them, disrupting the overall presumption that Dominicans are strictly anti-Haitian.
