Description

Blacks, Mulattos, and the Dominican Nation is the first English translation of the classic text Los negros, los mulatos y la nación dominicana by esteemed Dominican scholar Franklin J. Franco. Published in 1969, this book used to be the first systematic work at the role of Afro-descendants in Dominican society, the first society of the brand new Americas where a Black-Mulatto population majority developed all through the 16th century. Franco’s work, a foundational text for Dominican ethnic studies, constituted a paradigm shift, breaking with the distortions of traditional histories that focused at the colonial elite to place Afro-descendants, slavery, and race relations at the center of Dominican history.

This translation features a new introduction by Silvio Torres-Saillant (Syracuse University) which contextualizes Franco’s work, explaining the milieu in which he used to be writing, and bringing the historiography of race, slavery, and the Dominican Republic as much as the present. Making this pioneering work accessible to an English-speaking audience for the first time, it is a will have to-have for someone interested in the lasting effects of African slavery at the Dominican population and Caribbean societies.
