Summary
In this thorough social and political history Anne Eller breaks with dominant narratives of the history of the Dominican Republic and its relationship with Haiti by tracing the complicated history of its independence between 1822 and 1865, showing how the Dominican Republic's political roots are deeply entwined with Haiti's.
