This book explores the history of the Dominican Republic as it evolved from the first European colony in the Americas into a modern nation under the rule of Rafael Trujillo. It investigates the social foundations of Trujillos exceptionally enduring and brutal dictatorship (19301961) and, more broadly, the way power is sustained in such nondemocratic regimes.The author reveals how the seemingly unilateral imposition of power by Trujillo in fact depended on the regimes mediation of profound social and economic transformations, especially through agrarian policies that assisted the nations large independent peasantry. By promoting an alternative modernity that sustained peasants free access to land during a period of economic growth, the regime secured peasant support as well as backing from certain elite sectors. This book thus elucidates for the first time the hidden foundations of the Trujillo regime.
