Highlights
– Nation and Citizen in the Dominican Republic, 1880-1916, by Teresita MartínezVergne
Ideologically completely different, produced an extensive oeuvre of literary and historical texts and at the same time pursued long political careers. This occurred in the context of the long dictatorship of Rafael Leonidas Trujillo, who controlled the country with an iron hand from 1930 to 1961
In the long and most interesting essay, ‘Visiones históricas del Caribe’, San Miguel further pursues his analysis of the relation between intellectuals and national identity, extending it to the historical development of the Spanish Caribbean in general
