Haitian and Dominican Sugarcane Workers in Dominican Bateyes: Patterns and Effects of Prejudice, Stereotypes, and Discrimination

By Saskia K. S. Wilhelms and Wilhelms

"This is a case study on the living and working conditions of Haitian and Dominican cane workers in bateyes (cutters' villages) in the Dominican Republic. Based on interviews with eighty cane workers, it explores their interaction with particular regard to prejudice, stereotypes, and discrimination. The theory of ""Structural Conditions of Social Prejudice"" by Heintz, Held, Hoffmann-Nowotny, and Levy is used to explain the relatively low occurrence of prejudice between the two groups of workers, in contrast to the high level of structural discrimination against Haitians in Dominican society evidenced by their dismal living and working conditions.
