Dominican Dream,
   American Reality

Available in Spanish & English

Dominican Americans make up a large part of the immigrant community in New York and New Jersey, as well as in many other urban areas. Until now, there has been a lack of available literature by or about them. This book makes an important contribution by improving our ability to expose ourselves and our students to an authentic literary work by a Dominican American writer.

The book is available as an individual title and the English version is also included in our Getting Ready for the English Regents Essays class set. Dr. Santana provides a powerful role model for all second-language learners and their teachers. She also offers important observations and recommendations for students of all cultures who are acquiring a new language.

Use this book with all students of language, literature, and culture in:

• high school and college english and literature courses.
• high school and college social studies courses.
• a wide range of education courses.
• social work, sociology, politics, and linguistic courses.

Dr. Santana, a respected educator in the New York City school system, shares her personal and inspiring story recounting the gains and losses of her Americanization and her journey in realizing the American dream. She details her cultural and linguistic journey, from a Dominican immigrant English learner to a Dominican American English professor, highlighting the role of writing in her language learning.
