While the Spanish brought their religion, language, values, and traditions to the island to form the cornerstone of the Dominican culture, a later influx of Germans, Irish, Italians, and Sephardic Jews from the Dutch Caribbean and Lebanon added further variety. This book acknowledges creolization as the dominant feature of Dominican culture.

An edition that extends the narrative from 1990 to the first decade of the 21st century, beginning with the collapse of the Dominican economy. It includes chapters that focus on financial crises, the economic reforms of the 1990s, the free trade agreement with the United States, and party politics.

Aims to intertwine the socioeconomics of the Caribbean with Atlantic history.
