Penned by University of Houston associate professor Rachel Afi Quinn, "Being La Dominicana" ($26) is a nonfiction spine that takes a deep dive into what it means to exist as a Dominican woman in the context of how Dominican women are often portrayed in the media and other visual landscapes. It tackles topics like racial ambiguity, colorism, and identity within Caribbean society and discusses how Dominican women present themselves in light of the stereotypes that have been placed upon them.
