Turits, "A World Destroyed, A Nation Imposed" - Chapter Notes Structured extraction notes for Turits, A World Destroyed (Richard Lee Turits, "A World Destroyed, A Nation Imposed: The 1937 Haitian Massacre in the Dominican Republic," chapter from Foundations of Despotism, Stanford University Press, 2003). See also: Trujillo, 1937 parsley massacre, haiti dominican republic relations, jean pierre boyer, us occupation haiti, haitian loan 1922, santo domingo spanish The Massacre Central Argument Turits's central revisionist claim is that the 1937 massacre was not the violent eruption of preexisting anti-Haitianism but rather the creation of a new racial and national identity through state violence. Anti-Haitianism was a product of the massacre, not its cause.
