Through a variety of Dominican cultural texts, from literature to public monuments to musical performance, it illuminates the Dominican quest for legibility and resistance. 520 $a Dixa Ramirez places the Dominican people and Dominican expressive culture and history at the forefront of an insightful investigation of colonial modernity across the Americas and the African diaspora. In the process, she untangles the forms of free black subjectivity that developed on the island. From the nineteenth century national Dominican poet Salome Urena to the diasporic writings of Julia Alvarez, Chiqui Vicioso, and Junot Diaz, Ramirez considers the roles that migration, knowledge production, and international divisions of labor have played in the changing cultural expression of Dominican identity. In doing so, Colonial Phantoms demonstrates how the centrality of gender, race, and class in the nationalisms and imperialisms of the West have profoundly impacted the lives of Dominicans. Ultimately, Ramirez considers how the Dominican people negotiate being left out of Western imaginaries and the new modes of resistance they have carefully crafted in response. --Back cover. 651 0 $a Dominican Republic $x History. 650 0 $a Dominican Americans. 650 7 $a Dominican Americans. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00896753 651 7 $a Dominican Republic. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01206148 651 7 $a Dominican republic. $0 (NL-LeOCL)07848782X $2 gtt 650 7 $a 15.85 history of America. $0 (NL-LeOCL)07761190X $2 nbc 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 830 0 $a Nation of nations (NYU Press) 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191211020404.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=035FE4E4E96E11E8978F920F97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
