Drawing on her own experiences growing up between the Dominican Republic, Puerto Rico, and the United States, Santos provides a deeply personal lens through which she examines the history and identity of her homeland.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the book is the concept of the \"Dominican Covenant,\" the belief that the Dominican Republic exists under a unique divine mandate-a notion symbolized by the country's distinction as the only nation with an open Bible on its national flag. Santos explores how this covenant has shaped the Dominican people, their culture, and their understanding of nationhood, while challenging traditional historical narratives that often overlook the spiritual dimension of the country's identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe book's approach is multi-layered: it is a \u003cstrong\u003ememoir\u003c\/strong\u003e that recounts Santos's own life and formative experiences, a \u003cstrong\u003ehistorical revision\u003c\/strong\u003e that questions accepted accounts of the Dominican Republic's past, and a work of \u003cstrong\u003ebiblical scholarship\u003c\/strong\u003e that interprets scripture and religious symbolism in the context of national identity. Throughout, Santos combines analytical rigor with personal reflection, making the text both intellectually engaging and emotionally resonant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUltimately, \u003cem\u003eAnti-Perfect So-Called History\u003c\/em\u003e invites readers to reconsider what they know about the Dominican Republic, not only as a historical and political entity, but as a nation whose story is intertwined with faith, survival, and a distinctive sense of purpose under God.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Carolina Santos\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798993879079\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Xync Publisher\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/20\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarge Print\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"Carolina Santos","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48852830552319,"sku":"9798993879079","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/anti-perfect-so-called-history-carolina-santos-9798993879079","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
