Dominicans are the fastest growing Latino/a group in the United States and have long been ignored by scholars and popular culture. Using US media as a lens to interpret the identity negotiation practices among Dominican Americans and Dominicans living in the US, Mediated Dominicanidad repositions Dominicans from the margins of American society and culture to its center, exploring the relationships between Dominican Americans and American media. Dominicanidad , or "Dominican-ness," in television and film and on the internet is negotiated through its usage within and production of these media, but our understanding of it remains in flux. Part ethnography and part critical cultural analysis, Mediated Dominicanidad gives voice to those who experience a fluctuating identity. Author Keara K. Goin discusses celebrities like Zoe Saldaa and Alex Rodriguez, television shows like Orange is the New Black , movies like In the Heights , and filmmakers like Tabar Blanchard. In doing so, she centers US media as integral to the negotiation of dominicanidad, intervenes in Latina/o media studies with a critical exploration of the representation and discourses contributing to intense negotiations of identification about Dominicans and Dominican Americans, and reveals an intimate and contested relationship between Blackness and latinidad based on how they are entrenched with dominicanidad. Addressing a population often disregarded and marginalized, Mediated Dominicanidad is a thoughtful study that can be used to unpack identity negotiation processes within the US more broadly.
