If you are looking for a country where
everything works like clockwork, now might be a good time to turn back. If you
can relax and go with the flow, however, you will experience a land diverse in
environment, a rich and dynamic culture, and a people whose friendliness is
legendary.
Flamboyant, resilient, generous, and
headstrong, the Dominican psyche embodies the country's turbulent historical
inheritance and reflects the diversity of their ethnicity. Centuries of Spanish
rule, African influence, and the indigenous Taino legacy combine to form a
cultural tapestry that is entirely unique.
This updated edition of Culture Smart!
Dominican Republic looks at the beating heart of Dominican life. It
explores the central role of family and social ties, and the significance of
music, dance, and festivals. From the lively rhythms of merengue and bachata
to the national love of baseball and the colorful cuisine, visitors will gain
an insight into the passions, traditions, and values that define the Dominicans
today.
Have a more meaningful and successful time abroad through a better understanding of the local culture. Chapters on values, attitudes, customs, and daily life will help you make the most of your visit, while tips on etiquette and communication will help you navigate unfamiliar situations and avoid faux pas.
