After having read and assessed the validity of Jubilee as it deals with slavery, free black people, and the Civil War, and with an understanding that Walker heard the story as a child from her grandmother, then supported by some thirty years of research, it is evident that
"In a 30-year dictatorship there are so many silences, fears," she says. "I try to fill in the gaps, at least for myself." The massacre, "just a line in my textbook", was "still so real to people: Haitians working in the Dominican Republic in the 1970s and 80s were afraid it could be repeated."
