In 1937 tens of thousands of Haitians living in the Dominican
Republic were slaughtered by Dominican troops wielding machetes and
knives. Dominican writer and lawyer Freddy Prestol Castillo worked
on the Haiti-Dominican Republic border during the massacre, known
as "The Cutting," and documented the atrocities in real time in You
Can Cross the Massacre on Foot. Written in 1937, published in
Spanish in 1973, and appearing here in English for the first time,
Prestol Castillo's novel is one of the few works that details the
massacre's scale and scope. Conveying the horror of witnessing such
inhumane violence firsthand, it is both an attempt to come to terms
with personal and collective guilt and a search to understand how
people can be driven to indiscriminately kill their neighbors.
