Suspicious Movements: Diaspora, Queer & Deferred Belonging in the Dominican Republic

What makes us belong or cease to belong to a state, to a society? What
transforms us into the “other”? The author analyzes how identities that fall
outside the norm viewed as acceptable by those in power become targets
for discrimination, segregation, and false divisions among communities.
The article reflects on how a rich and diverse queerness challenges the
discourse of a uniform citizenship, which is ultimately a discourse that
promotes foundational prejudices for an anti-Black and anti-queer project
in the Dominican Republic.
