More than 5,000 Dominicans came to New York City through Ellis Island between 1892 and 1924, and many of them came with the idea of staying permanently. Many of those who came were young and single while many others were married and brought their families with them. How do these Dominicans differ from those who followed them in the 1960’s? How do Dominicans who came through Ellis Island resemble other Caribbean Hispanics who lived in New York City at the dawn of the 20th Century? This presentation is based on Ellis Island documents and other institutional archival records and focuses specifically on those Dominicans that wanted to make New York their permanent home.
Ramona Hernández is director of the Dominican Studies Institute of the City University of New York (CUNY) ad Professor of Sociology at City College and on the faculty of the Graduate Center, CUNY. She is the author of several works on migration and labor, including The Mobility of Workers Under Advanced Capitalism: Dominican Migration to the United States.
