        			"A complex exploration of the cultural divide between Haiti and the Dominican Republic. Wucker . . . weaves together five centuries of tragic conflict with a subtle picture of the island today." --Patrick Markee, The New York Times Book Review"A richly textured social history of Hispaniola . . . . A powerful cultural analysis." --Kirkus Reviews"Impeccably researched history made current and more meaningful by first rate reporting." --Barbara Fischkin, author of Muddy Cup: A Dominican Family Comes of Age in a New America"A delightful yet disturbingly relevant book . . . The economic, political and geographical struggles vividly occurring on Hispaniola are a microcosm of what happens all over the world." --Michael Hopkins, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel"Wucker peels away layers of history and culture, revealing aspects of Dominican and Haitian culture few have described so clearly. Well crafted, lucidly told, and full of insight.." --Rob Ruck, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette"A rich cultural history." --Ken Moore, Naples Daily News

    Ringside seats

    East vs West---Or a real life Westside story. The author did a superb job enhancing the two countries history as well as explaining how one country relied on the other for goods and services....Her background warrants why she writes so well on such a niche subject, a minuscule island with two countries.  Michele used the strength of the Cock, to represent the many. She enhances the metaphor of cockfights to allow us the reader to see how societies still love to show power over another, a Machiavellian style still alive today. The ring, is the battle field. Like the Romans, the cocks wage war against another civilization. She also brings to the top the city of New York--How three countries forge into one. A terrific book, on a topic I was very unfamiliar with.

    Intriguing book!
  

*by J***L on 12 December 2018*









  
  
    Great book! Well-written and full of metaphore, this books describes even-handedly and captivatingly the sometimes-tenuous relationship between Haiti and the Dominican Republic as compared to two roosters in a cockfight. Book arrived quickly and is in good shape. Thank you for a great transaction!
