Show Notes

In October 1937, Rafael Trujillo used a single word — perejil, parsley — to identify and massacre an estimated 20,000 Haitians living along the Dominican-Haitian border. This episode of History of the Caribbean documents El Corte: the six days of killing, the diplomatic silence Haiti's government accepted for $525,000, and why no court ever assigned legal responsibility. The story of how a language, a word, and a foreign policy decision buried the Caribbean's worst act of ethnic cleansing. New episodes weekly on Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
