Book Description
This translation of the well-received "Escrituras de Desencuentro en la Republica Dominicana" examines the writings of Dominican and Dominican-American authors such as Junot Diaz, Julia Alvarez, Josafina Ba ez, Manuel Rueda, Rita Hernandez, Aurora Arias, and Silvio Torres-Saillant. The author posits that this work is a radical aesthetic enterprise challenging the Dominican cultural establishment. These writers represent Dominicanness as a diverse and heterogeneous cultural identity, complicating the purported homogeneity of the Dominican Republic.
