Haitian-Dominican Counterpoint

Rating:
Summary: Excellent book--too bad it costs so much
Review: Dr. Matibag has written an excellent overview of the history of the Haitian-Dominican border. It helps dispel many of the myths held by either side such as the myth that the Massacre River was named after the massacre of Haitians in 1937 (the river was so named in 1728). The book is well-written and informative. Too bad that it is so expensive. My only complaint is that it needs to have maps showing where events took place and how the borders changed, but adding maps would probably have made it even more expensive.
