New Book on the Dominican Republic is Rare Resource for Teachers

Did you know that Dominicans are the fourth largest Latino community in the U.S.? Or that Dominican literature, which has strong political themes, has inspired writers throughout North and South America to be part of the human rights effort?

Teaching for Change is releasing it’s latest book, Caribbean Connections: The Dominican Republic, during Hispanic Heritage Month to shed light on the rich history, politics, and culture of one of the fastest growing Latino groups in the country. It is one of the few resources for teachers that reflects and affirms the identity of Dominican immigrants and inspires students to build a more equitable, multicultural society.
