| dc.description.abstract | This thesis examines how women members of the Movement of Dominican-Haitian Women (MUDHA) have created an alternative model of development for poor Dominican-Haitian and Haitian women living in batey communities on sugar cane plantations in the Dominican Republic. MUDHA's alternative model of development is manifested in their activities providing health clinics and health promoters; small schools, and free legal advocacy. The data examined includes historical texts, publications of non-governmental organizations, media coverage of MUDHA's activism and my personal travel to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. I place MUDHA's organizing activities in the historical context of women's organizing in Haiti and the Dominican Republic in order to offer a comparative examination of the social, political, and economic forces that have shaped women's organizing. | en_US |
