This afternoon at 7 pm, Casa América presents in its Miguel de Cervantes Room the book Spain and the Dominican Republic: a shared story. Free admission until capacity is full.
This book offers a deep analysis of the transformative ties between Spain and the Dominican Republic from the 15th century to the present day, covering multiple areas. Through its pages, it explores topics such as the process of miscegenation, the repopulation of the island of Santo Domingo with immigrants from the Canary Islands in the eighteenth century, the influence of Spanish republican exile and the remarkable Spanish investment in key sectors of the Dominican economy, such as supermarkets, hotels and restaurants.
The work, which brings together over 40 writings by leading historians and researchers from both countries, covers a wide range of topics including urbanism, education, diplomacy, art, history of political ideas, economics, migration and tourism. This book seeks to provide an integral view of the historical and cultural ties that unite Spain and the Dominican Republic, highlighting their mutual impact and shared legacy over time.
Will welcome the León de la Torre Krais, general manager of Casa de América, and will be introduced by Juan Bolívar Díaz, ambassador of the Dominican Republic to the Kingdom of Spain. Manuel García Arévalo, author and honorary president of the Dominican Week in Spain, will participate in the presentation.
