Hello everyone. I stumbled onto this website while searching information on the Dominican Republic. I am a half-Dominican half-Puerto Rican college student, born and raised in N.Y.C. However, I do not know my Dominican father so, therefore, I know very little about the half-island, except for some political facts concerning Rafael Trujillo, Juan Bosch...etc As for my Puerto Rican side - let's just say that if any of you ever want to know anything about Borinqu?n, then I'm the one to ask, lol. I would like to learn about my other half, especially since it is the main source of immigration to the neighboring island I love so dearly. So, I hope to enjoy myself in this interesting forum. If any of you know any good books, films, facts...etc on DR, please feel free to tell me. I'm an open book.... ;)

The bright ugly green font is even harder to read than the recent ugly purple font of someone else. it really is unneccesary just because you know a few HTML tags.

Antillano, sometime last year someone mentioned on this board that the corruption seen DR can be traced back to when it was a colony of Spain and then mentioned that he was so excited by all the talk that he was going back to reading his history book. Curious (since I had been reading the horrible writings of Moya Sans in English), I wrote this person who told me that the history book he was refering to was Carribean by Mitchener. Tremendously great reading. While it deals with the entire Carribean history - not just DR - it provides a great foundation to build on.

I had to highlight the green text in order to be able to read it. If you stare at it for a minute and then look at a wall next to you it will make you feel like if you are starting to go crazy.

All right, all right, I'll stop using the bright green text color, LOL. I've been here for a day and I'm already starting controversey! lol

Oh, and to answer PeachezNcream84's question, no, I have never been to DR and I'm not really planning to go for a while, mostly because of work. Although, I'd love to one day. ;)

I have no idea where my Dominican side of my family are from, although I wish I did.

I've been to Puerto Rico many times. I plan to go this summer, hopefully, lol. ;)
