Contents Description:

Over the second half of the century, an unprecedented movement of people, money, goods, and ideas back and forth between these two cities transformed them both. Santo Domingo grew by more than two million residents, and more than a million Dominicans settled in the United States, mostly in New York City. The tow cities grew into twin capitals of a Dominican society that was predominantly urban, deeply diasporic, and saturated with mass media and consumer products. - from the back cover
