Amelia Hintzer
Jessica R. Pliley and Zoe Trodd, of the Gilder Lehrman Center’s Modern Slavery Working Group join Tom Thurston on this episode of Slavery and Its Legacies.
Amelia Hintzer is an interdisciplinary scholar studying race, migration, and citizenship. She is currently a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Gilder Lehrman Center, part of the MacMillan Center for International and Area Studies, at Yale University. She previously served as the Ruth J. Simmons Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for the Study of Slavery and Justice at Brown University. Combining historical, anthropological, and geographic
methods, her research explores how labor migration and plantation agriculture have
shaped conceptions of race and national belonging in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Her book manuscript, Sugarcane Citizenship: A History of Migration and Statelessness
in the Dominican Republic and Haiti, explores Haitian migration to Dominican sugar
plantations during the twentieth century, and the development of a large stateless
population of Haitian descent.
