Despite its significance in the history of Spanish colonialism, the
Dominican Republic is familiar to most outsiders through only a few
elements of its past and culture. Non-Dominicans may be aware that
the country shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti and that it
is where Christopher Columbus chose to build a colony. Some may
know that the country produces talented baseball players and
musicians; others that it is a prime destination for beach
vacations. Little else about the Dominican Republic is common
knowledge outside its borders. This Reader seeks to change that. It
provides an introduction to the history, politics, and culture of
the country, from precolonial times into the early twenty-first
century. Among the volume's 118 selections are essays, speeches,
journalism, songs, poems, legal documents, testimonials, and short
stories, as well as several interviews conducted especially for
this Reader. Many of the selections have been translated into
English for the first time. All of them are preceded by brief
introductions written by the editors. The volume's eighty-five
illustrations, ten of which appear in color, include maps,
paintings, and photos of architecture, statues, famous figures, and
Dominicans going about their everyday lives.
