cquilt-39941	Bacchus, Maria	The Illusion of Citizenship and Sovereignty in the Caribbean	2023	5	.pdf	application/pdf	2739	124	47	The concept of citizenship will be disproven by contrasting birthright citizenship and promises of inclusion with the exclusionary policies seen in the Dominican Republic towards those of Haitian Caribbean Quilt Journal Homepage: https://jps.library.utoronto.ca/index.php/cquilt/index CARIBBEAN QUILT 2023 VOL. 7 Analysis The case studies discussed in this essay have shown that the realities of exclusionary citizenship and the undermin- ing of sovereignty through the crippling of self-determina- tion negate the existence of traditional citizenship and sov- ereignty in the Caribbean.30 Instead, this essay argues that these concepts exist in complicated and contradictory forms in the Caribbean because the expectation that con- ventional citizenship and sovereignty exist stems from Western ideals’ imposition on Caribbean society.	cache/cquilt-39941.pdf	txt/cquilt-39941.txt
