While Dominican elites encouraged animosity against Haitian immigrants, ordinary Dominicans challenged the state every time the opportunity arose, collaborating with Haitians in many endeavors. Historically, class struggle and natural disasters brought Haitians and Dominicans together. He also had in mind an idea of a nation, an imagined community of oppressed people —be they on the island or in the rest of the Americas— who are comrades, partners, and fellows sharing the same fight of freedom. This was his beloved patria, and he was willing to die for it, as he ultimately did."
