In the second half of the twentieth century Dominicans became New York City's largest, and poorest, new immigrant group. They toiled in garment factories and small groceries, and as taxi drivers, janitors, hospital workers, and nannies. By 1990, one of every ten Dominicans lived in New York. A Tale of Two Cities tells the fascinating story of this emblematic migration from Latin America to the United States. Jesse Hoffnung-Garskof chronicles not only how New York itself was forever transformed by Dominican settlement but also how Dominicans' lives in New York profoundly affected life in the Dominican Republic. A Tale of Two Cities is unique in offering a simultaneous, richly detailed social and cultural history of two cities bound intimately by migration. It explores how the history of burgeoning shantytowns in Santo Domingo--the capital of a rural country that had endured a century of intense U.S. intervention and was in the throes of a fitful modernization--evolved in an uneven dialogue with the culture and politics of New York's Dominican ethnic enclaves, and vice versa. In doing so it offers a new window on the lopsided history of U.S.-Latin American relations. What emerges is a unique fusion of Caribbean, Latin American, and U.S. history that very much reflects the complex global world we live in today.

A comprehensive guide from an expert on the region includes hundreds of lodging, dining, recreational, and cultural recommendations. With the same unerring compass that has come to define the Great Destinations guides, Baker reveals why the Dominican Republic is far and away the most popular destination in the Caribbean. From brilliant green mountains to pristine white-sand beaches, extraordinary restaurants to luxury resorts, the Dominican Republic is full of surprises. For instance, no other Caribbean isle can compare when it comes to bird- and wildlife-watching: the Dominican Republic teems with exotic birds and reptiles, many of which live nowhere else in the world. With this guide in hand you’ll learn where to book the best wildlife tours; where to go to explore the island’s ancient history; how to navigate rustic trails and Colonial city streets; where to find the best golfing, water sports, and nightlife—and so much more. As in all Great Destinations guides, there are more than 100 photographs and detailed maps—everything you need to make the most of your visit.

If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this Greater Than a Tourist book is for you. Greater Than a Tourist- Santo Domingo, Capital City, Dominican Republic by Isabel Santos. Santo Domingo is the capital city of Dominican Republic. When the island was first discovered by Christopher Columbus, it was called LA HISPANIOLA. The island was then divided into two countries with Dominican Republic on the east side of the island and Haiti to the west. The island is surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the North and the Caribbean Sea to the South. The Mona Channel and Puerto Rico are located to the East of the island. Some people confuse Dominican Republic and its capital, Santo Domingo, with Puerto Rico or Cuba. I hope that after reading this guide, you are able to see what unique features Dominican Republic has to offer. Once you become an expert, perhaps you may educate other travelers about this beautiful island and encourage them to explore it as well, with the help of this guide. There are more touristic areas to explore in Dominican Republic, outside the capital city, Santo Domingo. Some of those places are: Punta Cana, Puerto Plata, Samana, Bavaro Beach, La Romana, and so many more. Most travel books tell you how to travel like a tourist. Although there is nothing wrong with that, as part of the Greater Than a Tourist series, this book will give you travel tips from someone who has lived at your next travel destination. In these pages, you will discover advice that will help you throughout your stay. This book will not tell you exact addresses or store hours but instead will give you excitement and knowledge from a local that you may not find in other smaller print travel books. Travel like a local. Slow down, stay in one place, and get to know the people and culture. By the time you finish this book, you will be eager and prepared to travel to your next destination.
