In the Tropics: by a Settler in Santo Domingo

Fabens, Joseph Warren, In the Tropics: by a Settler in Santo Domingo / With an introductory notice by Richard B. Kimball, New York: Carleton, 1863.

Available online.

Author and commercial agent Joseph W. Fabens and land speculator Henry L. Kinney were filibusters in Central America in 1855. In 1854, largely financed by New York backers, Kinney purchased millions of acres of land in Nicaragua under dubious legal circumstances, with the intent to start a colony. In February 1855 Kinney was warned that his proposed colony might violate the U.S. Neutrality Act as well. In April 1855 both Kinney and Fabens were arrested in New York and their vessel blockaded by the U.S. Navy at its East River wharf. Released on bail Kinney slipped out of New York and traveled to Nicaragua. With a handful of followers he launched a failed revolt against both the Nicaraguan government and the regime of fellow American William Walker.

República Dominicana: Clases, Crisis y Comandos

Franco, Franklin, República Dominicana: clases, crisis y comandos, La Habana: Casa de las Americas, 1966.(frágil)

Comentario de Leopoldo Artiles:

Para empezar, el texto Clases Crisis y Comandos, de Franklin Franco, obtuvo el Premio Internacional de Ensayo de Casa de las Américas de 1966, algo sorprendente tratándose de ser su primer libro publicado. …Manuel Moreno Fraginal, miembro del jurado de Casa de las Américas, quien hizo una breve presentación del libro, y lo calificó como: a) un ensayo de elaboración teórica, riguroso en el método, con un nivel mantenido a lo largo de la obra y sin caer en la prosa propagandística o emocional, b) por la habilidad con que se liga el relato meticuloso de los acontecimientos con el trasfondo estructural e histórico, y, c) el importante acopio documental correctamente manejado.

Franklin Franco Pichardo (nació el 14 de noviembre de 1936 en Santiago de los Caballeros, República Dominicana, murió el 15 de junio de 20131 ) en Santo Domingo, República Dominicana, fue historiador, sociólogo, profesor y político dominicano.
