The Dominican Americans

Edición de la obra The Dominican Americans

This profile of Dominican Americans closes a critical gap in information about the accomplishments of one of the largest immigrant groups in the United States. Beginning with a look at the historical background and the roots of native Dominicans, this book traces the story of U.S. and Dominican relations. Most importantly, this book assesses how Dominicans have adapted to America, and highlights their losses and gains since arriving. Biographical profiles of many notable Dominican Americans, such as artists, sports greats, musicians, lawyers, novelists, actors, and activists, enhance the text.
