This review is from: Peasants and Tobacco in the Dominican Republic, 1870-1930 (Hardcover)

For anyone interested in the history of the tabacco industry in the dominican republic this is the book for you. For many years this dominican industry was ignored by all, but with the surge in popularity of hand-rolled cigars it has leaped to the forefront.

Mr Baud gives a detailed and intuitive account of the development of this industry.

Hopefully the next edition will have a foreword on the current state of the industry and the effect that its early development had.
