Beskrivning

What would the island of Hispaniola look like if viewed as a loosely connected system? In view of the sociocultural and economic linkages connecting the two countries, their relations would have to resemble not so much acockfight (the conventional metaphor) as a serial and polyrhythmic counterpoint.

Recensioner i media

"Matibag has spotted with renewed imagination an intense instance of border contact far larger in regional implications than the geographical space occupied by the fringe that binds and unbinds the related histories of Haiti and Republica Dominicana...recommended reading for any informed and discerning person interested in the region as a serious tourist or for business or academic purposes." - Eduardo Gonzalez, Johns Hopkins University "...this book starts us thinking about the unthinkable. [Matibag] carries forward the discerning analysis of Dominican-Haitian relations begun in 1971." - James Morrell, Council for International Policy
