“…This exclusion is arguably more severe in the Dominican Republic, where African features are apparent among much of the population. Its capital, Santo Domingo, was a major slave port, yet Africans are conspicuously absent from the national mestizaje narratives (Candelario 2007;Howard 2001;Roth 2012). On the other hand, mestizaje ideologies in Brazil and Cuba stressed the inclusion of African elements, as well as those of Europeans and Amerindians (Telles 2004;Bailey 2009;de la Fuente 2001;de la Fuente and Bailey 2021).…”

A 2014 constitutional amendment illustrates this.…”

“…Dominican Americans who have developed a racial identity as Black in the United States-perhaps in addition to their ethnic identity as Dominican-may see themselves as more similar to African Americans. This process is likely influenced by the historically contingent meanings associated with Blackness in the Dominican Republic, where the system of racial classification has been influenced by Spanish colonialism, sharing an island with Haiti, and transnational contact with Dominicans living in the United States (e.g., Howard, 2001;Sagás, 2000;Simmons, 2009).…”
