Dominican Colors and Swirls

Descriere

Illustrated throughout with color photographs that fill one or both pages of a spread, this compact volume tours the Dominican Republic, or as the locals still call it, Santo Domingo, the island where Christopher Columbus first landed in the New World. Images of tobacco harvests and the making of Dominican cigars in various factories illuminate a text that describes how tobacco has been a part of their culture since before Europeans came. Here too are the Caribbean nation's brilliant beaches, pastel-colored buildings from the colonial era, and smiling people.
