I was just pondering the DR and all of its pluses and minuses and what was wondering what makes the DR different from other Latina American countries.
For example, the DR has been relatively free of civil way and genocide(notwithstanding Trujullos ordered massacre of the Haitians) that has scarred many other countries in this region - for example what has happened/is happening in Colombia and Honduras etc.
There doesn't seem to be the class struggles found in other places like Cuba, Mexico, Venezuela etc. Is it because Dominicans are more "homogenous" in thinking even though racially they are diverse? To me Dominicans seem to be very "similar" in likes and experience, whether they be white, black, from the city, from the country rich or poor. Also, Dominicans to a man will tell you that one doesn't have to worry about the people here having major rebellions as long as they have a full stomach, rum and their music.
Will things continue or are we on the "cusp" for change maybe like other countries in the region?
