Dominicans and their Shenanigans

identified as Afro Latino. Despite having distinct African features, many Dominicans tend to deny their African roots, a phenomenon deeply rooted in the country's history and socialization. I explore the influence of former President Rafael Trujillo, whose regime perpetuated anti-Haitian sentiment and ingrained a sense of racial denial among Dominicans. Trujillo's policies not only enforced a rejection of African heritage but also instilled a deep-seated prejudice against Haitians, who are unmistakably of African descent.

Join me as I unpack these intricate issues of identity, race, and history, shedding light on how the Dominican Republic's past continues to shape its people's self-perception and attitudes today. It's a conversation that challenges us to understand the long-lasting impact of colonialism, colorism, and national politics on the Dominican identity.
