> black behind the earsPlease join us for an author talk, book signing and
> reception with Ginetta Candelario. Candelario will be reading from her
> newest book; */Black Behind the Ears: Dominican Identity From Museums to
> Beauty Shops/*, an innovative historical and ethnographic examination of
> Dominican identity formation in the Dominican Republic and the United
> States. /Black Behind the Ears/explores what it means to be both
> indigenous to the Republic (indios) and "Hispanic." Both indigeneity and
> Hispanicity have operated as vehicles for asserting Dominican
> sovereignty in the context of the historically triangulated dynamics of
> Spanish colonialism, Haitian unification efforts, and U.S. imperialism.
> Candelario shows how the legacy of that history is manifest in
> contemporary Dominican identity discourses and displays, whether in the
> national historiography, the national museum's exhibits, or ideas about
> women's beauty./ Black Behind the Ears: Dominican Identity From Museums
> to Beauty Shops/ was published by Duke University Press in 2007 and
> received the Best Book Award from the New England Council of Latin
> American Studies in 2008.
