A must read for everybody interested in Dominican literature, history and culture. A wonderful, and poignant analysis of foundational texts from the Dominican canon such as "Las vÃrgenes de Galindo" which is demystified and deconstructed to reveal how history was falsified to construct one of the founding myths of the Dominican nation. Lorgia GarcÃa-Peña also delves deeply into the works on Dominicanyork artist Josefina Báez showing how her body, speech and performance contradicts the main narrative of Dominican nationhood and personhood. A truly great contribution to Dominican Studies! ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
In The Borders of Dominicanidad Lorgia García-Peña explores the ways official narratives and histories have been projected onto racialized Dominican bodies as a means of sustaining the nation's borders. García-Peña constructs a genealogy of dominicanidad that highlights how Afro-Dominicans, ethnic Haitians, and Dominicans living abroad have contested these dominant narratives and their violent, silencing, and exclusionary effects. Centering the role of U.S. imperialism in drawing racial borders between Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and the United States, she analyzes musical, visual, artistic, and literary representations of foundational moments in the history of the Dominican Republic: the murder of three girls and their father in 1822; the criminalization of Afro-religious practice during the U.S. occupation between 1916 and 1924; the massacre of more than 20,000 people on the Dominican-Haitian border in 1937; and the 2010 earthquake in Haiti. García-Peña also considers the contemporary emergence of a broader Dominican consciousness among artists and intellectuals that offers alternative perspectives to questions of identity as well as the means to make audible the voices of long-silenced Dominicans.
