520 3 |a Border of Lights, a volunteer collective, returns each October to Dominican-Haitian border towns to bear witness to the 1937 Haitian Massacre ordered by Dominican dictator Rafael Leónidas Trujillo. This crime against humanity has never been acknowledged by the Dominican government and no memorial exists for its victims.

This innovative anthology asks large-scale, universal questions regarding historical memory and revisionism that countries around the world grapple with today.
