Christina Davidson focuses on Henry Charles Clifford (H. C. C.) Astwood, the first Black man to serve as US consul to the Dominican Republic. Born in the British Caribbean, Astwood migrated to the Dominican Republic's northern coast after its War of Restoration against Spain (1863-1865). He then left the island for Reconstruction-era New Orleans where he became a Republican activist and preacher in the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church. Dominican Crossroads tracks the challenges that Astwood faced as a Black politician in an era of rampant racism and ongoing cross-border debate over Black men's capacity for citizenship and political authority. Atwood engaged in the era's "moral politics of race-making"- defined as the purposeful deconstruction and reconstruction of racist moral logic-in order to command political authority. He remains an enigma on the sidelines of US history because of a concerted effort to shield the public from the dealings of a duplicitous middleman whose extraordinary life defied borders of all kinds: national, cultural, racial, and moral"--
