englischIn a sweeping work that draws from original research and insightful analysis, Cada día se ven muchos milagros offers a new window into faith and narratives of power in Dominican history. Pointing up a tale that understands providentialism from the perspective of rural, Afrodescendent, and elite actors alike, it shows that memory, justice, religion and power have always been more complex than colonial and national teleologies. The book examines historical records never analysed before, such as Memorias del Cristo de Bayaguana, ordinary devotees’ letters to La Virgen de Altagracia, a painting of a slave and the miracle performed on him, and accounts of the United States’s military occupation of the Dominican Republic in 1916.
