Most importantly, I want to thank them for their mentorship, which has shaped me into the scholar I am today. I thank Dr. Susan Paulson for her encouragement and guidance on the overall structure of my thesis; Dr. Lenny Ureña Valerio for her insightful feedback and for the countless of hours she invested in my project; Dr. Efraín Barradas for his immense knowledge and great advice; and Dr. Carlos Suarez Carrasquillo for his assistance in finding the topic and helping in the advancement of the content of my thesis. I would also like to thank the people in the Dominican Republic who received me with open arms and helped me to gather critical information about my research topic. Special thanks to Chiqui Vicioso and Emelda Ramos for their support in Salcedo as well as Minou Tavárez Mirabal and Luise de Peña in Santo Domingo, the Dominican Republic, and the Dominican Studies Library at CUNY. My field research would not have been possible without a generous grant from the Tinker Foundation. I want to specially thank the Center for Latin American Studies at the University of Florida for entrusting me with the opportunity of becoming a MALAS student and for providing me with the privilege of expanding my knowledge about Latin America and the Caribbean. This project would not have been possible without their support. Additionally, I want to thank Dr. Lilian Guerra for her great comments and motivation to question common representations of the Mirabal Sisters. Thank you to the MALAS cohort members, especially Juliana and David, and my dear friend Jessica for their friendship and for becoming my U.S. family. I want to thank my family, especially my parents, for believing in my crazy idea of going across the Atlantic to further my education. I am eternally grateful for the sacrifices you made that allowed me to become the first in the family to receive a university education. 4 TABLE OF CONTENTS page ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ...............................................................................................................4 LIST OF FIGURES .........................................................................................................................7 ABSTRACT .....................................................................................................................................9 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION ..................................................................................................................10 2 TRUJILLO AND POST-TRUJILLATO POLITICS IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC .............................................................................................................................18 3 THE DOMINICAN DIASPORA IN THE UNITED STATES (1930 TO PRESENT) .........30 Migration During the Trujillo Era (1930 – 1961) ...................................................................33 Migration from the Island Following the Death of the Dictator .............................................38 4 THE MAKING OF LAS MARIPOSAS – THE MIRABAL SISTERS .................................47 Patria Mirabal .........................................................................................................................49 Dedé Mirabal ..........................................................................................................................50 Minerva Mirabal .....................................................................................................................51 María Teresa ...........................................................................................................................53 Movimiento 14 de Junio .........................................................................................................54 Assassination ..........................................................................................................................57 5 METAMORPHOSIS OF LAS MARIPOSAS........................................................................61 Literature Review ...................................................................................................................61 Politics of Memory .................................................................................................................70 Cover-Up – Staging of an Accident ................................................................................70 Trial against the Murderers of the Mirabal Sisters ..........................................................72 Moving towards Official Recognition .............................................................................81 6 COMMEMORATION & THE MIRABAL FAMILY ...........................................................86 Childhood Home and Monuments ..........................................................................................87 Casa Museo Hermanas Mirabal ..............................................................................................92 Jardín Memorial Patria Mirabal ............................................................................................100 Family Presence ....................................................................................................................102 5 7 THE MEMORY IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC AND ITS DIASPORA: CIVIL SOCIETY, ART & POPULAR CULTURE AND THE MEMORY OF THE MIRABAL SISTERS ...............................................................................................................................105 Pedro Mir – Amen de Mariposas ..........................................................................................105 Sonia Silvestre -

    JULIA ALVAREZ & JUNOT DÍAZ: THE FORMATION OF BOUNDARIES IN CREATING A NEW DOMINICAN-AMERICAN IDENTITY By VANESSA COLEMAN A capstone submitted to the Graduate School- Camden Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey In partial fulfillment of the requirements For the degree of Master of Arts Graduate Program in Liberal Studies Written under the direction of Dr. Richard Drucker And approved by ____________________________________ Richard Drucker Camden, New Jersey October 2016 CAPSTONE ABSTRACT Julia Alvarez & Junot Díaz: The Formation of Boundaries in Creating a New Dominican-American Identity By VANESSA COLEMAN Capstone Director: Dr. Richard Drucker This essay will explore the concept of ethnicity in the stories and through the characters in the writings of Junot Díaz and Julia Alvarez. In particular, I will examine their critically acclaimed novels, Díaz’s The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (2007) and Alvarez’s How the García Girls Lost Their Accents (1991), and how the authors’ personal lives are reflected in these novels. Through the novels, I will examine the acculturation of Dominicans immigrating to the United States and consider how their narratives relate to the idea of a new Dominican-American identity. I will analyze how displacement, economics, and national expectations affect the characters’ behaviors as they search for a new identity. Finally, I will evaluate, and corroborate with scholarship, the aspects of immigrants’ former lives, and how their past and present ethnic identities have transformed with their attempt to balance both cultures, and establish an understanding of the immigrant and ethnic experience. ii 1 Introduction Julia Alvarez and Junot Díaz are acclaimed authors who have built their narratives around their personal experiences as Dominican-Americans.

Article History: Submitted-13/01/2020, Revised-25/02/2020, Accepted-27/02/2020, Published-29/02/2020. Abstract: Hailed as a milestone in the genre of the dictator novel, Mario Vargas Llosa’s The Feast of the Goat (2001) is a political thriller that portrays the tyrannical regime of General Rafael Trujillo. It is an artistic reconstruction of Trujillo’s rise to power, his infamous totalitarianism and finally his murder. The research paper analyses the nexus between history and fiction as an important trope in the novel. Appropriating historical data from numerous biographical accounts and newspapers, the novel re-envisions the social psychology, personal motives and the circumstances during ‘The Era’. It is important to note that Vargas Llosa deems literature as a forceful mode that reimagines the subtle nuances of the past that history cannot. The paper further explores the connection between power and violence as an inevitable means to political corruption and sexual trafficking of women in dictatorial regimes. Deliberating upon the problematic of power-politics and censorship, the paper analyses the role of the novelist in the reconstruction of the past so as to understand the present and envision a better future.

  • Peregrinaciones Antillanas: Sobre El Saber Hegemónico Y La Identidad Diaspórica1
    Revista Iberoamericana, Vol. LXXIX, Núm. 243, Abril-Junio 2013, 501-522 PEREGRINACIONES ANTILLANAS: SOBRE EL SABER HEGEMÓNICO Y LA IDENTIDAD DIASPÓRICA1 POR SILVIO TORRES-SAILLANT Syracuse University I. TRANSNACIONALIDAD POR ANTONOMASIA Pensar en cómo circulan el conocimiento y las prácticas culturales, especialmente la escritura artística y el discurso crítico, en el Caribe y en su diáspora, con énfasis en el pueblo dominicano, nos lleva irremediablemente a intentar valorar los discursos que han adquirido mayor prominencia en el estudio de la movilidad humana. Hablamos de aquellos esfuerzos académicos por justipreciar el desplazamiento y la dispersión de las comunidades de una sociedad a otra, entre lenguas, regiones, leyes y culturas, en fi n, más allá del espacio nacional, étnico o tribal que la era moderna nos ha acostumbrado a ver como el ámbito natural de la gente. Durante las últimas décadas del siglo XX en varias disciplinas de las ciencias humanas entró en boga la perspectiva transnacionalista como esquema analítico idóneo para estudiar la movilidad de los seres humanos entre su tierra natal y determinado lugar de destino, a veces en sí mutable, que en circunstancias diversas los alberga. Muchos académicos coinciden en atribuir un papel decisivo en el despliegue del concepto de transnacionalismo a las antropólogas Nina Glick Schiller, Linda Basch y Cristina Blanc-Szanton, coautoras de infl uyentes trabajos dedicados a profundizar sobre la aplicabilidad de dicha noción (Glick Schiller, Basch y Blanc-Szanton 1-2; Gowricharn 7). Sin embargo, no ha faltado un número considerable de especialistas en temas sociales avocados a expresar salvedad en torno a distintas implicaciones de la visión transnacional formulada por las autoras en cuestión (Conway 263-65).

  • Martina Urioste-Buschmann Literary Representations Of
    Martina Urioste-Buschmann Literary Representations of Fear and Anger during the Trujillato: An Approach to the Female Performing of Emotions in the Novels In the Time of the Butterflies and The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao Leibniz Universität Hannover, Alemania [email protected] Since the dictatorial era of Rafael Leónidas Trujillo Molina came to an end in 1961, various texts of fictional prose have contributed to the Dominican processing of history in terms of artistic inscriptions into a collective memory. In particular, from the late 1990s, literary representations of the Trujillato have been a firm focus of local Dominican writers. This tendency is apparent in the novels published during this period. Diógenes Valdez’s Retrato de dinosaurios en la Era de Trujillo (1997), Marcio Veloz Maggiolo’s Uña y carne. Memorias de la virilidad (1999) and Ángela Hernández’s Mudanza de los sentidos (2001) are just a few examples of this common focus. However, this literary processing regarding one of the darkest chapters of Dominican history has not been promoted solely by local Dominican authors. At the same time, American- Dominican authors have helped give literary expression to this era of political persecution, terror and censorship, which probably claimed more than 30,000 lives.1 Writing in English, “Dominicanyorks” (Herzog 143) managed to situate their texts within a US-American minority literature that was also received by a mainstream audience (Cocco de Filippis 255). Julia Alvarez 1 It is estimated that approximately 30,000 deaths were caused during the massacres of Haitian guest workers ordered by Trujillo in 1937 (Hilton 83).
