title: Haitian emigration in the early twentieth century.
abstract: "Standard migration theories see receiving countries as the dynamic agent [pulling] migrants to them.  These theories, while useful for explaining many cases, appear inadequate for the case of labor migration from Haiti to Cuba and the Dominican Republic in the early twentieth century.  This article examines this history and offers an alternative theoretical framework for explaining this migration flow.  It is argued that the prime cause of migration from Haiti is factors in the sending country."
