Book Synopsis
Examines how school curriculum-based representations of Dominican identity navigate black racial identity, its relatedness to Haiti, and the culturally entrenched pejorative image of the Haitian Other in Dominican society.

Trade Review
Examining the concept of race within the Dominican national rhetoric through the analysis of textbooks, Wigginton and Middleton offer an appropriate and rational interpretation of Dominican textbooks in public schools that is easy to follow and provides clear examples of racialist inculcation."" - Dawn F. Stinchcomb, author of The Development of Literary Blackness in the Dominican Republic

""Through their examination of textbooks, Wigginton and Middleton reveal a shift taking place in the Dominican Republic surrounding ideas of blackness. They provide a rich example and show how blackness continues to be reconsidered in the Dominican Republic, reconstructing a sense of being Afro-Dominican."" - Kimberly Eison Simmons, author of Reconstructing Racial Identity and the African Past in the Dominican Republic
