{"product_id":"the-dominican-people-ernesto-sagas-9781558762978","title":"The Dominican People","description":"The vanquished Ta no Indians, the Spanish conquistadors, rebellious slaves, common folk, foreign invaders, bloody dictators, gallant heroes, charismatic politicians, and committed rebels -- all have left their distinct imprint on Dominican society and left behind printed records. Nevertheless, the five-hundred-year history of the people of the Dominican Republic has yet to be told through its documents. Although there has been a considerable production of documentary compilations in the Dominican Republic -- particularly during the Trujillo era -- few of these are known outside the country, and none have ever been translated into English. The Dominican People: A Documentary History bridges this gap by providing an annotated collection of documents related to the history of the Dominican Republic and its people. The compilation features annotated documents on some of the transcendental events that have taken place on the island since pre-Columbian times: the extermination of the Ta no Indians, sugar and African slavery, the establishment of French Saint Dominique, independence from Haiti and from Spain, caudillo politics, U.S. interventionism, the Trujillo dictatorship, and contemporary politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ernesto Sag疽\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1558762973\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781558762978\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Markus Wiener Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/29\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.67d","brand":"Ernesto Sag疽","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43996333768959,"sku":"9781558762978","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_9324c4d3-4b9a-49ee-9479-17511b6b9e88.jpg?v=1683341087","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-dominican-people-ernesto-sagas-9781558762978","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
