Book Description
Using a blend of historical and literary analysis, Colonial Phantoms reveals how Western discourses have ghosted—miscategorized or erased—the Dominican Republic since the nineteenth century despite its central place in the architecture of the Americas. Through a variety of Dominican cultural texts, from literature to public monuments to musical performance, it illuminates the Dominican quest for legibility and resistance.

Book Description
This project analyzes the tourist landscape of Santo Domingo, the capital of the Dominican Republic. Through focusing on Zona Colonial in the 20th and 21st centuries, I analyze the neighborhood’s colonial architecture, and assert the landscape creates a national identity based on whiteness. I conduct a visual analysis of the city, using photographs I took myself and archival photographs from the Archivo General de la Nación in Santo Domingo. I read the built environment as a public archive through studying monuments, street names, and memorials in Zona Colonial, attending to structures created through Spanish colonial and US imperial influence. I examine my personal observations of the tourist neighborhood, interrogating the narratives performed in the landscape. I argue these architectural structures are instrumental in shaping collective memory around whiteness. Further, I analyze the contributions of US military occupation in Santo Domingo in promoting a Dominican national identity on anti-blackness, through their dissemination of anti-Haitian ideology. I continue by examining how Dominicans have used Zona Colonial to resist US imperialism. I center two instances of protest, and how critically examine the archives they come from and represent. Ultimately, I argue Zona Colonial creates a vision of heritage that centers Hispanicism and patriarchy, omitting African ancestry from images of Dominican national identity

Book Description
Rachel Afi Quinn investigates how visual media portray Dominican women and how women represent themselves in their own creative endeavors in response to existing stereotypes. Delving into the dynamic realities and uniquely racialized gendered experiences of women in Santo Domingo, Quinn reveals the way racial ambiguity and color hierarchy work to shape experiences of identity and subjectivity in the Dominican Republic. She merges analyses of context and interviews with young Dominican women to offer rare insights into a Caribbean society in which the tourist industry and popular media reward, and rely upon, the ability of Dominican women to transform themselves to perform gender, race, and class. Engaging and astute, Being La Dominicana reveals the little-studied world of today's young Dominican women and what their personal stories and transnational experiences can tell us about the larger neoliberal world.
