While the Spanish brought their religion, language, values, and
traditions to the island to form the cornerstone of the Dominican
culture, a later influx of Germans, Irish, Italians, and Sephardic
Jews from the Dutch Caribbean and Lebanon added further variety.
Traditional histories of the island have long overlooked the
influence of black Africans on the national heritage, although this
rich cultural legacy is evident in many areas. And while there has
been ample discussion of the indigenous Taino people, very few of
them survived over the centuries, and they left a lesser lasting
imprint, limited to agriculture, diet, language, and religion.This
distinctive cultural amalgam provides the backdrop for this book,
which has become a classic text in the Dominican Republic. It is
the first book to acknowledge creolization as the dominant feature
of Dominican culture. The contributors are Dominican scholars and
journalists, and they have also served as diplomats, university
professors, museum directors, and artists.
