The Hispanic Caribbean Question
This essay sustains that to earn credibility as a field seeking academic identity de lege, Hispanic Caribbean studies must address the legacy of the colonial past that keeps people in the Antillean world from communicating productively across national borders and language blocs. The field needs to help us address the following problems: relying on the insular metaphor to name a region whose population in large part inhabits continental land masse…

The Indian in the Latino
Americaniards” as Latinos
One and Divisible
This article offers to the consideration of readers a number of site-specific vignettes that highlight the ways in which the experience of blackness--as different from the fact of blackness--may take different forms depending on the moment, the socio-cultural setting, the history, and the existential context in which it occurs. It asks about the wisdom of promoting ideas about global blackness that do not at the same time examine the political ec…
The Unlikely Latina/os
Conversation Manqué
In this response to his critics, the author values the areas of missed opportunity observed by Braziel, Buscaglia-Salgado, and Bogues, while also endeavoring to “defend” his book from those objections that he ascribes more to the exigencies of the critic's particular reading practice than to the text's demonstrable failings. He uses the occasion to meditate on the psychopathology that informs the writing of a scholarly critique of a peer's work a…
Pitfalls of Latino Chronologies
The Endless History
Volume II of the legendary Encyclopédie , edited by Denis Diderot and Jean le Rond d’Alembert carries a quarter-page entry entitled “Caraibes, ou Cannibales.” The brief article, devoted to inform the reader about the “island savages of America, overlords of a part of the Antilles,” powerfully conjures the promptness of the West to imagine the Caribbean as a zone dominated by the uncanny. The caribs, the text explains, “use no swathing clothes for…
Caliban’s Dilemma
The deployment of Caliban has served numerous aesthetic and ideological purposes in the intellectual history of the West and the Third World. A wideranging examination of “Caliban’s three-and-three-quarter century odyssey through the briers and thorns of interpretation and adaptation ...[in] various media” makes this claim abundantly clear (Vaughan and Vaughan 1991:278). An existing compilation of critical approaches to Caliban as a literary char…

The Dominican Americans
This profile of Dominican Americans closes a critical gap in information about the accomplishments of one of the largest immigrant groups in the United States. Beginning with a look at the historical background and the roots of native Dominicans, this book then carries the reader through the age-old romance of U.S. and Dominican relations. With great detail and clarity, the authors explain why the Dominicans left their land and came to the United…
The Tribulations of Blackness
Dominican society is the cradle of blackness in the Americas. The island of Hispaniola or Santo Domingo, which Dominicans share with Haitians, served as port of entry to the first African to set foot on Spain's newly conquered territories following Christopher Columbus's eventful transatlantic voyage in 1492. Nine years into the conquest of what thenceforward became known as the New World, King Ferdinand and Queen Isabella appointed Fray Nicolas …
