If the exclusion from global economic policies primarily affects women and children in the Caribbean and those in the diaspora, the study of contemporary Caribbean literature through the lens of criticism of globalization reveals how the current literature reflects and re-symbolizes the violent  effects of globalization in the areas of home and community. In this essay, two Dominican novels—Papi (2005) by Rita Indiana Hernandez and The Brief  Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao (2007) by Junot Díaz—are shown to narrate the “undocumented” history of Dominican migrants to convey the violent effects of globalization on the Dominican diaspora from the perspective of subaltern bodies of African-descent youth.
