New book by SER advisor highlights intra-Caribbean migration and sense of home

On October 29, 2026, the second book by SER advisor Dr. Sabrina Dinmohamed was published by Emerald Publishing: Making Home in the Euro-Caribbean. Intra-regional Migration from the Dominican Republic to Curaçao.

The book provides insight into intra-Caribbean migration based on more than twenty years of research on the Dominican community in Curaçao. From the migrants’ perspective, Dinmohamed highlights how they build a life, find a sense of home, and how the receiving society influences their experiences and position. In doing so, the book sheds light on broader issues surrounding migration within the region.

The research touches on central themes in the work of the SER, including labour migration, livelihood security, social cohesion and broad prosperity. It shows that migration success goes beyond income: dignity, social relationships and a sense of home also matter.
