Milagros Ricourt

The Dominican Racial Imaginary

Surveying the Landscape of Race and Nation in Hispaniola

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book begins with a simple question: why do so many Dominicans deny the African components of their DNA, culture, and history? Seeking answers, Milagros Ricourt uncovers a complex and often contradictory Dominican racial imaginary. In doing so, she also delivers an inspiring message on how multicultural communities might cooperate to disrupt the enduring power of white supremacy.
