Yeah, check for Frank Moya Pons' book, The Dominican Republic: A National History
Right on money! It is fundamentals. Great book , of course I have it along with Dominican Haven:The Jewish Refugee Settlement in Sosua, by M. Kaplan, Columbus's Outpost among the Ta?nos: La Isabela, 1493-1498 , and The Imagined Island.
but maybe anything else that I am not aware of?
Especially in French. The Haitian aspect of the history of Hispanola practicaly is not covered.
