Read the excerpt from "A Genetics of Justice" by Julia
ANarez.
When my sisters and I cared too much about our
appearance, my mother would tell us how Trujillo's
vanity knew no bounds. How in order to appear taller,
his shoes were specially made abroad with built-in
heels that added inches to his height. How plumes for
his Napoleonic hats were purchased in Paris and
shipped in vacuum-packed boxes to the Island. How
his uniforms were trimmed with tassels and gold
epaulettes and red sashes, pinned with his medals,
crisscrossing his chest. How he costumed himself in
dress uniforms and ceremonial hats and white gloves-
all of this in a tropical country where men wore
guayaberas in lieu of suit jackets, short-sleeved shirts
worn untucked so the body could be ventilated. My
mother could go on and on.
