Why Wao’s Pulitzer Matters

Editor’s Note: The excitement over the Pulitzer win by Dominican-American writer Junot Diaz is reverberating in the Dominican community. Diaz is not the first Latino to win the prize, writes NAM contributor Carolina González, but he is certainly the first cat from the streets to do so. González teaches Latino Studies at John Jay College in New York and writes about Latin culture in various publications and on her blog, www.soundtaste.typepad.com.”*
