El ensayo analiza la política migratoria dominicana durante la dic-tadura (1930-1961) de Rafael Leónidas Trujillo Molina en la República Dominicana, política cuyos orígenes se relacionan con la masacre de haitianos en octubre de 1937 y cuya finalidad era la de recomponer su mala imagen ante la opinión pública interna-cional. Los acontecimientos europeos de la época, la Guerra Civil española, las perse-cuciones contra los judíos, contribuirían a esta política. A pesar del carácter “humani-tario” de esa política migratoria del dictador dominicano, del deseo de promover el desarrollo agropecuario e industrial de la República Dominicana, la misma revestía un acentuado carácter racista y xenófobo.

The essay analyzes the Dominican immigration policy during the dictatorship of Rafael Leónidas Trujillo Molina in the Dominican Republic (1930-1961), a policy whose origins are related to the massacre of Haitians in October 1937 and whose purpose was to rebuild his tarnished image before the international public opinion. The European events of the era such as the Spanish Civil War, the persecution of the Jews would contribute to this policy. But despite the “humanitarian” immigration policy of the Dominican dictator and his desire to promote agricultural and industrial development of the Dominican Republic, his policy was pronouncedly racist and xenophobic.
