The vanquished Taino Indians, the Spanish conquistadors, rebellious
slaves, common folk, foreign invaders, bloody dictators, gallant
heroes, charismatic politicians, and committed rebels - all have
left their distinct imprint on Dominican society and left behind
printed records. Nevertheless, the five-hundred-year history of the
people of the Dominican Republic has yet to be told through its
documents. Although there has been a considerable production of
documentary compilations in the Dominican Republic - particularly
during the Trujillo era - few of these are known outside the
country, and none has ever been translated into English. The
Dominican People: A Documentary History bridges this gap by
providing an annotated collection of documents related to the
history of the Dominican Republic and its people. The compilation
features annotated documents on some of the transcendental events
that have taken place on the island since pre-Columbian times: the
extermination of the Taino Indians, sugar and African slavery, the
establishment of French Saint Dominique, independence from Haiti
and from Spain, caudillo politics, U.S. interventionism, the
Trujillo dictatorship, and contemporary politics.
