Dominican literature, Diaspora, Latin American literature in the United StatesAbstract
This article reflects on the relations between literature and diaspora, taking as its axis the artistic production of the Dominican community in the United States. Initially, the concept of diaspora in its different meanings, and its relationship with literature, is debated. Next, the issues related to the Dominican literature elaborated in the United States are discussed, highlighting the main authors and works published especially in the last decades. It is concluded that although still little explored academically, the literature of Dominican migration presents a significant formal and aesthetic wealth.
