The Dominican Republic, which shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti, has a rich history beginning with the first inhabitants, the Ta no indians, to the Spanish conquistadors, African slaves, and numerous 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 daily lives of average Dominicans and also the unusual folk practices of the rural populace. Attention is also given to the thriving Dominican community in New York City, the Dominacanyors. Students and interested readers will be intrigued by this insider's affectionate portrait of the Dominicans. This little-known culture is illuminated with chapters on 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 major contribution to the understanding of the developing Caribbean and Hispanic peoples.
