Eric Paul RoordaThe Dominican Republic Reader: History, Culture, Politics (The Latin America Readers)

This book is filled with many historical facts, but is not a history book. As you can read in the back of the book it is a selection of "essays, speeches, journalism, songs, poems, legal documents, testimonials and short stories"; yes, they are important and valuable to anyone interested in the country and it's people but if this is all you read about the country you will miss very important details about Dominican History.If you already know about Dominican History because you have studied, then by all means you should have this book in your collection. It is an interesting read and I recommend it. But if you don't know anything about the country history and want a good source, then this is not it.

This book offers great history and cultural perpective of the Dominican Republic. Exactly what I was in the market for!!

Every Dominican should read this book! Full of information I had no idea about. This book is very organized and a very enjoyable read.

Needed this book for a class on the Dominican Republic, got it much earlier than expected. Very happy with my purchase!

Easy read and full of information I wouldn't find anywhere else

great book

This book is well written. It highlights multiple facets of the Dominican history, identity and culture. I found it at the library and now I need to own it. This book is to be enjoyed many times.

Very interesting book

This one is a great one like all the series.

Quality service and price.
