Professor Philip Kaisary on Donald Trump’s racist, anti-Haitian claims

Published on October 23, 2024

Time to read: 1 minutes

Published in Lacuna Magazine, Professor Philip Kaisary’s piece titled “They’re eating the pets”: The deep history behind Trump’s racist, anti-Haitian lies” comments on Donald Trump’s recent false claim that Haitian immigrants in Springfield, Ohio have been eating the town’s pets.

He situates these baseless claims in the long history of anti-Haitian denigration to demonstrate that the supposedly glorious American past to which Trump’s project seeks to turn back the clock is in fact a past in which systemic terror was waged against people of African descent.
