Описание: Bachata--a guitar-based romantic music that debuted in Santo Domingo's urban shantytowns in the 1960s--is today one of the hottest Latin genres. Still, fans and musicians have not forgotten the social stigma the genre carried for decades. This book interweaves bachata's history and development with the socio-political context of Dominican identity. The author argues that its early disfavor resulted from the political climate of its origins and ties between class and race, and proposes that its ultimate acceptance as a symbol of Dominican identity arose from its innovations, the growth of the lower class, and a devoted following among Dominican migrants. La bachata--una m sica de guitarra que se estren en los barrios populares de Santo Domingo en los a os 60--hoy, es uno de los g neros latinos m s populares. No obstante, sus aficionados y sus exponentes recuerdan el estigma social asociado que conllev por d cadas. Este libro entreteje la historia y el desarrollo de la bachata con el contexto socio-pol tico de la identidad dominicana. La autora plantea que su desaprobaci n temprana result del clima pol tico en que naci y los v nculos entre raza y clase social. Propone que su aceptaci n final como s mbolo de identidad dominicana surge de sus innovaciones, el crecimiento de la clase baja y sus seguidores leales entre los migrantes dominicanos.

Описание:
Blacks, Mulattos, and the Dominican Nation is the first English translation of the classic text Los negros, los mulatos y la naci n dominicana by esteemed Dominican scholar Franklin J. Franco. Published in 1969, this book was the first systematic work on the role of Afro-descendants in Dominican society, the first society of the modern Americas where a Black-Mulatto population majority developed during the 16th century. Franco's work, a foundational text for Dominican ethnic studies, constituted a paradigm shift, breaking with the distortions of traditional histories that focused on the colonial elite to place Afro-descendants, slavery, and race relations at the center of Dominican history.
This translation includes a new introduction by Silvio Torres-Saillant (Syracuse University) which contextualizes Franco's work, explaining the milieu in which he was writing, and bringing the historiography of race, slavery, and the Dominican Republic up to the present. Making this pioneering work accessible to an English-speaking audience for the first time, this is a must-have for anyone interested in the lasting effects of African slavery on the Dominican population and Caribbean societies.

Описание: In 1821, the short-lived Republic of Spanish Haiti was annexed by the Haitian Government.In 1844, Juan Pablo Duarte and the Trinitarios re-established independence, and the nation previously known as Spanish Haiti was re-named the Dominican Republic.The Dominican Military subsequently defeated several major invasions by the larger Haitian Military throughout the 1840s and 1850s, maintaining Dominican Sovereignty.In the aftermath of the wars, a young Dominican sergeant named Anibal Hector Medina completes his military duties and soon finds a new purpose as a rebel in the war against the Spanish Empire and their occupation during the Dominican War of Restoration in 1863. Anibal Medina enters the conflict for the liberation of his people and later joins the fight to end Spanish rule in Cuba and Puerto Rico.
Histories of the German Dominican order have long presented a grand narrative of its origin, fall, and renewal: a Golden Age at the order's founding in the thirteenth century, a decline of Dominican learning and spirituality in the fourteenth, and a vibrant renewal of monastic devotion by Dominican "Observants" in the fifteenth. Dominican nuns are presumed to have moved through a parallel arc, losing their high level of literacy in Latin over the course of the fourteenth century. However, unlike the male Dominican friars, the nuns are thought never to have regained their Latinity, instead channeling their spiritual renewal into mystical experiences and vernacular devotional literature. In Ruling the Spirit, Claire Taylor Jones revises this conventional narrative by arguing for a continuous history of the nuns' liturgical piety. Dominican women did not lose their piety and literacy in the fifteenth century, as is commonly believed, but instead were urged to reframe their devotion around the observance of the Divine Office. Jones grounds her research in the fifteenth-century liturgical library of St. Katherine's in Nuremberg, which was reformed to Observance in 1428 and grew to be one of the most significant convents in Germany, not least for its library. Many of the manuscripts owned by the convent are didactic texts, written by friars for Dominican sisters from the fourteenth through the fifteenth century. With remarkable continuity across genres and centuries, this literature urges the Dominican nuns to resume enclosure in their convents and the strict observance of the Divine Office, and posits ecstatic experience as an incentive for such devotion. Jones thus rereads the "sisterbooks," vernacular narratives of Dominican women, long interpreted as evidence of mystical hysteria, as encouragement for nuns to maintain obedience to liturgical practice. She concludes that Observant friars viewed the Divine Office as the means by which Observant women would define their communities, reform the terms of Observant devotion, and carry the order into the future.
