An endeavor to transmit all the beauty, diversity and rich heritage of the Dominican Republic through the pages of a book represents a challenging task. Nevertheless, Dominican Republic: New Perspectives fulfills the expectations by presenting us with a content of great sensitivity and extraordinary subtlety. It fills the heart and mind of the reader with unexpected images, tangible impressions, vivid sensations and revealing information. Our country unveils itself before our eyes in all its many facets and invites us all to celebrate its natural beauty, its history.
