Why the Cocks Fight: Dominicans, Haitians, and the Struggle for Hispaniola

Why the Cocks Fight: Dominicans, Haitians, and the Struggle for Hispaniola

by Michele Wucker

  • HISTORY
  • 2000
  • PAPER
  • 304 PAGES

An engaging social history of Hispaniola. Constantly at each other throats in a confined space on the one hand (and egged on by their powerful neighbor to the north), Haiti and the Dominican Republic are divided by history, race and class. They also share deep cultural traditions including the cockfight itself.  (CRB46, $16.00)
