Political and economic hardships have led over one million Dominicans to leave their homeland and settle in foreign countries - the United States, Spain, Venezuela, and other countries in Latin American and Europe. In essays covering subjects from politics to literature, this interdisciplinary work analyzes the Dominican diaspora as a multifaceted global phenomenon in which Dominican transmigrants live, work, and participate in two or more societies. It examines the forces that fueled the diasporic migration of Dominicans; the characteristics of the migration process; the main challenges to political and social incorporation; the formation of communities in New York, Spain, and other locales; and issues of gender in education, employment, and the household.
Ernesto Sagas is assistant professor of political science at Southern New Hampshire University and the author of Race and Politics in the Dominican Republic. Sintia E. Molina is assistant professor of language and literature at St. Francis College.
