Escrita por Dawn Stinchcomb y traducida por Marcelo González, esta obra (disponible por primera vez en castellano) analiza los temas de la raza y la identidad en la literatura dominicana desde la época colonial hasta el siglo XX. Esta obra contextualiza la producción literaria del país en la historia conflictiva de la Isla Hispaniola, una historia en la que la retórica política afirma las raíces hispanas e indígenas al tiempo que niega una herencia africana. Título original: "The development of literary blackness in the Dominican Republic" (2004)

Written by Dawn Stinchcomb and translated by Marcelo González, this scholarly work (now available for the first time in the Spanish language) analyzes the themes of race and identity in the literature of the Dominican Republic from the colonial period to the twentieth century. The book contextualizes the literary production of the nation within the conflict-embedded history of the island of Hispaniola, a history in which the political rhetoric embraces the country's Hispanic and indigenous roots, while denying its African heritage. Original title: "The development of literary blackness in the Dominican Republic" (2004)
