Un giovane pescatore imprigiona per sbaglio una sirena nella sua rete. La lascia andare in cambio di una promessa: ogni giorno, la sirena tornerà da lui e canterà per attirare i pesci. Giorno dopo giorno, i due si innamorano, ma il giovane non può seguirla in fondo al mare, perché, diversamente da lei, ha un’anima umana. L’unico modo che ha di realizzare il suo sogno, perciò, è sbarazzarsi della sua anima. Ma è una scelta che avrà delle conseguenze.

The Dominican Republic has posted impressive economic growth rates over the past thirty years. Despite this, the generation of new, good jobs has been remarkably weak. How have ordinary and poor Dominicans worked and lived in the shadow of the country's conspicuous growth rates? This book considers this question through an ethnographic exploration of the popular economy in the Dominican capital. Focusing on the city's precarious small businesses, including furniture manufacturers, food stalls, street-corner stores, and savings and credit cooperatives, Krohn-Hansen shows how people make a living, tackle market shifts, and the factors that characterize their relationship to the state and pervasive corruption. Empirically grounded, this book examines the condition of the urban masses in Santo Domingo, offering an original and captivating contribution to the scholarship on popular economic practices, urban changes, and today's Latin America and the Caribbean. This will be essential reading for scholars and policy makers.
