Foundations of Despotism: Peasants, the Trujillo Regime, and Modernity in Dominican History
Richard Lee Turits
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 Trujillo's enduring and brutal dictatorship (1930-1961) and, more broadly, the way power is sustained in such non-democratic regimes.
