This article presents a summary of and response to a conference on anthropological research held between March 18 and 20, 2019, on Hispaniola, the island where Haiti and the Dominican Republic are located. In the spirit of world anthropologies and the decolonization of knowledge that structured the event, we offer this review and assessment based in a collaboration effort involving one Dominican woman, one Dominican American woman, one Haitian American woman, and one Indian American man. 1 We begin by contextualizing and summarizing the event. The second part is polyvocal, in that each of the co‐authors who attended the event independently crafted a critique and commentary on Island Anthropologies that reflects their positionality.
