The Borders of Dominicanidad

Description:

Lorgia García-Peña constructs the genealogy of dominicanidad, using it as a category to understand how official narratives have racialized Dominican bodies as a way to sustain the nation's borders. Examining artistic and literary representations of Dominican history, she examines how marginalized Dominicans have contested official narratives to avoid exclusion.
