* FERGUSON, James - Dominican Republic: An Introduction and Guide, uitg.: MacMillan Caribbean (2005), ISBN 9781405010214, paperback, 160 blz., geheel in kleur, €14,50
In this introduction to the Dominican Republic, James Ferguson surveys the country's many historic and natural treasures, ranging from colonial-era churches and mansions to modern beach resorts. Exploring its often tumultuous history as well as its contemporary life, he looks at how the past has shaped today's nation and how Dominicans have created their own unique identity. In an area-by-area account of the country, this book takes you on a tour of the Dominican Republic: from the Caribbean's highest mountain to some of its most unspoilt beaches; from the cobbled streets of 16th century Santo Domingo to the high-rise tourist palaces of the east coast; from adventure activities like canoeing to horse-riding to lazy days on idyllic beaches; and from the distinctive sounds of merengue and bachata to real Dominican delicacies and world-class rum.
