Description

The Dominican Republic, which shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti, has a wealthy history beginning with the first inhabitants, the Taíno indians, to the Spanish conquistadors, African slaves, and a lot of waves of immigrants. Culture and Customs of the Dominican Republic is the first book to encompass the vibrancy of the land, its people, and their cultures and customs. It surveys the day by day lives of average Dominicans and in addition the abnormal folk practices of the rural populace. Attention could also be given to the thriving Dominican community in New York City, the Dominacanyors.

Students and interested readers can be intrigued by this insider’s affectionate portrait of the Dominicans. This little-known culture is illuminated with chapters at the land, its history, and people; religions; social customs; media and film; literature; performing arts; architecture, art, sculpture, and photography. Culture and Customs of the Dominican Republic is a tremendous contribution to the figuring out of the developing Caribbean and Hispanic peoples.
