My work centers on contemporary American literature, particularly that by Latinx and Afro-Latinx writers. My major research concern is in exploring transnational connections forged by immigrant communities between the United States and their nations of origin. I seek to place the U.S. in a larger global context and trace worldwide cultural and literary influences on American identity.
My current research project connects Dominican diasporic literature written in the U.S. to the literature and history of the Dominican Republic. I examine how major tragedies in the nation’s past have shaped the history of the nation and how in turn that history has shaped modern culture and particularly the racial identity of Dominican citizens at home and abroad. I argue that tragedies are only memorialized in the collective psyche when they affect the nation’s White-identifying population, which serves to further marginalize Blackness from group identification and belonging.
