Book Reviews of Quisqueya LA Bella: The Dominican Republic in Historical and Cultural Perspective (Perspectives on Latin America and the Caribbean)

Book Review: ..an intriguing international resource.. powerfully written
Summary: 5 Stars

Cambeira openly discusses the concept of race and skin color in the Dominican Republic, and deals amply and sensitively with the issue of the complex Dominican-Haitian relationship. "Quisqueya" is a collector's item which needs to be read and guarded carefully on the shelf of individuals interested in the Caribbean.This should be required reading for those making their first trip to the island.This book doesn't read like the conventional history text! It flows lyrically like the waves of the Caribbean itself.
