The Mulatto Republic: Class, Race, and Dominican National Identity

The Mulatto Republic is a groundbreaking book that sheds light on the complex history of race and identity in the Dominican Republic.

Through a detailed exploration of historical factors and cultural norms, author April Mayes reveals how the island nation has grappled with its mulatto heritage and the ways in which it has been idealized as a white, Hispanic nation.

This thought-provoking work challenges readers to reconsider their assumptions about Dominican identity and offers a unique perspective on the intertwined histories of the Dominican Republic and Haiti.
