Description
In this lyrical, identity-forward work, Sili Recio explores what it means to be Dominican through the lens of color—how culture, family, language, and lived experience shape the way we see ourselves and are seen by others. With a high-level, coming-of-self arc, the book moves through moments of memory and imagination to illuminate the beauty and complexity of Dominican heritage. It grapples with themes of belonging, pride, diaspora, and the everyday negotiations of race and representation. Recio’s distinctive, poetic style blends warmth and clarity, inviting readers to celebrate their roots while questioning the stories that try to define them.
