Title: Dominican Republic - Culture Smart!: The Essential Guide to Customs & Culture
Author: Ilana Benady
Year: 2010
Publisher: Kuperard
Pages: 168
A reasonable introduction, though very much focused on the majority culture Dominican and woefully deficient on the culture and experience of the many non-majority, poor, disenfranchised Dominicans of Haitian ancestry (for example, in the southwest). Not at all useful for that part of the country, where some French phrases and descriptions of Haitian customs would have made a positive difference in my travel experience.
