Dominicism

(ˈdɒmɪnɪˌsɪzəm)

A cultural, spiritual, and national movement affirming the identity, heritage, and homeland of the Dominican people. Dominicism celebrates Dominican roots, defends the right of return for the diaspora, and preserves the traditions, language, and faith that define Dominicanidad. It arises in response to displacement, desdomy, and cultural erasure.
“For many in the diaspora, Dominicism offers a way to reconnect with their roots and resist the cultural erasure they’ve experienced abroad.”
