Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"Rachel Afi Quinn's first monograph is an exceptional interdisciplinary study of how Dominican women in Santo Domingo theorize mixed-raceness and fashion themselves in response to the transnational flow of images." --Transforming Anthropology
"A unique and timely examination of the significance and cultural strategies of Dominican women in the contemporary era marked by neoliberal economic structures, (post) colonial geopolitical arrangements, heteropatriarchal beauty standards, and global anti-blackness. It is an important work of feminist ethnography."--Nicole Fleetwood, author of On Racial Icons: Blackness and the Public Imagination
