Winner of the 2003 John Edwin Fagg Prize for Best Publication in
the History of Latin America, given by the American Historical
Association Named an Outstanding Academic Title by Choice in 2003
This book explores the history of the Dominican Republic as it
evolved from the first European colony in the Americas into a
modern nation under the rule of Rafael Trujillo. It investigates
the social foundations of Trujillo's exceptionally enduring and
brutal dictatorship (1930-1961) and, more broadly, the way power is
sustained in such non-democratic regimes. One of the best works
ever done on the Dominican Republic, this wonderful book goes a
long way toward explaining not only the long-lived Trujillo
dictatorship but subsequent Dominican social and political history
as well. It is also a powerful critique of the simplistic
demonizing of the Caribbean dictatorial model of politics attached
to strongmen like Trujillo, Somoza, and Duvalier. - Lowell
