From a flier:

The history of the Dominican Republic is the history of almost five centuries of land settlement, for the majority of Dominicans still live in rural areas, and whatever affects those areas is of national importance. Thus the focus of this well documented study – perhaps the most concentrated yet comprehensive history ever made of the Dominican Republic – is on the campesinos, or country folk, who have repeatedly been the victims of colonial exploitation and foreign invasion.
