Merengue and Dominican Identity: Music as National Unifier Illustrated edition
Julie A. Sellers
This work presents three arguments about the merengue's longevity as a unifying symbol of Dominican identity. White, Catholic, Hispanic Dominican has long been held as the ""true"" Dominican identity, causing the dance to become progressively ""whitened"" in terms of performers and style to reflect this notion and gain wider appeal at home and abroad.
