Abstract
Literature and film have long existed as examples of cultural products and artifacts demonstrating what the various authors from different cultures value as well as the subsequent history and politics of those cultures (Ferro 357-8). However, not all narratives are commemorated in print or on the big screen. Many narratives are not selected which begs several questions. Common criticisms which are lofted towards the recording of history are: Whose history? Who narrates? Who is included and excluded? Who chooses which history and narrative are included? What does this mean regarding value and importance? The purpose of this paper is to examine race and gender within selected literature and film regarding “colonized consciousness” in the Dominican Republic and the United States using the theory of historiographic metafiction by Linda Hutcheon and methodologies of both film analysis and sociological analysis by Jonas do Nascimento.
