About This Book

"The Dominican Republic, which shares the island of Hispaniola with Haiti, has a rich history beginning with the first inhabitants, the Taino 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 culture 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 "Dominicanyors.""--BOOK JACKET.
