Pedro Martínez. Sammy Sosa. Manny Ramírez. By 2000, Dominican baseball players were in every Major League clubhouse, and regularly winning every baseball award. In 2002, Omar Minaya became the first Dominican general manager of a Major League team. But how did this codependent relationship between MLB and Dominican talent arise and thrive? In his incisive and engaging book, Dominican Baseball, Alan Klein examines the history of MLB's presence and influence in the Dominican Republic, the development of the booming industry and academies, and the dependence on Dominican player developers, known as buscones. He also addresses issues of identity fraud and the use of performance-enhancing drugs as hopefuls seek to play professionally. Dominican Baseball charts the trajectory of the economic flows of this transnational exchange, and the pride Dominicans feel in their growing influence in the sport. Klein also uncovers the prejudice that prompts MLB to diminish Dominican claims on legitimacy. This sharp, smartly argued book deftly chronicles the uneasy and often contested relations of the contemporary Dominican game and industry.

Dominican Life: A Commentary on the Rule of Saint Augustine

Dominican Life: A Commentary on the Rule of Saint Augustine

Walter Wagner O. P.

The work of Saint Augustine has been at the center of a conflagration of enthusiasm in the Christian Church and beyond it for over fifteen hundred years. The precocious teenager who became a Manichean, the reveler who became a bishop, the bishop who became a saint-millions have been inspired to sanctity by the story of this fourth century Latin Father of the Church and millions more by the sublimity of his doctrine. Fewer, however, are familiar with the Rule he wrote to govern the monastic life of his small religious community at Thagaste in Africa, and later the life of his own priests as Bishop of Hippo. In a series of seventeen conferences, Fr. Walter Wagner, OP of the Saint Joseph Province of the Order of Preachers, offers his reflections on this ancient Rule. With wisdom and wit, he unearths Saint Augustine's finest ideals for living the Christian life and concretely applies them to 21st Century Dominican Life as it is lived today by thousands of priests, brothers, nuns, sisters, and lay men and women. Enlightening and challenging, both brand-new Christian and wizened Diamond Jubilarian will benefit from this delightful commentary. The book is now in its Second Edition.

Dominican Crossroads

Dominican Crossroads

Christina Cecelia Davidson

DUKE UNIVERSITY PRESS

H. C. C. Astwood: minister and missionary, diplomat and politician, enigma in the annals of US history. In Dominican Crossroads, Christina Cecelia Davidson explores Astwood’s extraordinary and complicated life and career. Born in 1844 in the British Caribbean, Astwood later moved to Reconstruction-era New Orleans, where he became a Republican activist and preacher in the African Methodist Episcopal (AME) Church. In 1882 he became the first Black man named US consul to the Dominican Republic. Davidson tracks the challenges that Astwood faced as a Black politician in an era of rampant racism and ongoing cross-border debates over Black men’s capacity for citizenship. As a US representative and AME missionary, Astwood epitomized Black masculine respectability. But as Davidson shows, Astwood became a duplicitous, scheming figure who used deception and engaged in racist moral politics to command authority. His methods, Davidson demonstrates, show a bleaker side of Black international politics and illustrate the varied contours of transnational moral discourse as people of all colors vied for power during the ongoing debate over Black rights in Santo Domingo and beyond.
