Visitors are captivated by the charm of its colonial buildings and contemporary hotels stationed in ancient cobbled streets, as well as the gastronomy reflected in the gourmet restaurants of Dominican and international cuisine. With abundant boutiques and recognized chain stores from the United States and Europe, shopping attracts tourists and residents alike. Santo Domingo’s Colonial City was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1990 for its high historical and cultural value and wealth of museums, art galleries and theaters – all ensuring countless cultural experiences for international visitors and locals. COLONIAL CITY Travel to the past while walking the cobblestone streets of the Colonial City and let your imagination be free to walk with the pirates and colonists who once inhabited it. The first city established in the New World, built by Bartholomew and Diego Columbus, still keeps the first structures of the Americas well-preserved and open to guests – the centuries-old cathedral, hospital, university, monastery and historically significant Calle Las Damas beckon to travelers. 7 If you prefer a guided tour, we recommend starting it on Calle El Conde, famous for its handicraft shops selling colorful paintings and ceramic, wood, leather and metal. Keep walking to Parque Colón, where you will find the majestic statue of Christopher Columbus. On one side of the park is the Santa María de la Encarnación Cathedral—the first of the Americas, whose construction dates back to 1540 – while on the other side see how famous Dominican cigars are made by hand. Once you leave the park behind, continue along Calle Las Damas - the first street of the New World - to glimpse the impressive Fortress Ozama, the oldest of America. It houses the Casa de Bastidas and the Torre del Homenaje tower, where the cannons that once protected the port city are preserved. On this street, you will find the National Pantheon, the Museo de las Casas Reales and the sundial, all surrounded by fortified walls. Just at the end of Calle Las Damas is the Plaza de España and the Alcázar de Colón - former home of Diego Columbus. Surely your sense of adventure will push you to continue exploring through the cobblestones streets.

    RHUM COCKTAIL Delicate Fortifying ZEMIVARDIER THE RHUM JULEP Mount Gay XO, campari, Barbancourt 8, peach liqueur, sugar & sweet vermouth & bitters angostura bitters 18 18 RUM OLD FASHIONED RUM SOUR El Dorado 15, exotic syrup & bitters Angostura 1919, honey syrup, lemon juice, port wine 21 21 RUM MANHATTAN Plantation Grand Anejo, sweet vermouth, angostura & orange bitters 18 About Rum The origin of the word rum is unclear. The name may have derived from rumbullion, meaning “agreat tumult or uproar”. Some claim that the name is from the large drinking glasses used by Dutch seamen known as rummers. Other options include contractions of the words saccharum, latin for sugar, or arôme, French for aroma. In current usage, the name used for rum is often based on the rum’s place of origin. For rums from Spanish-speaking regions the word ron is used. A ron añejo indicates a rum that has been aged and is often used for premium products. Rhum is the term used for French-speaking regions, while rhum vieux is an aged French rum. Sugar cane, originally from Papua New Guinea, was taken to Asia, where it was cultivated and then carried to Africa, India and then Spain. European explorers were lured to the West Indies by legends of El Dorado, a city paved with gold. Ironically, the tall sweet grass that Columbus took to the Caribbean in 1493, and the sugar and rum made from that sugar cane, was ultimately worth more than all the lustrous metal taken from the Caribbean basin. According to some historians, the first molasses rum to be produced was from a Dutch emigrant named Pietr Blower in 1637.

    Q 11 U563 CRLSSI BULLETIN 147 MAP U. S. NATIONAL MUSEUM 's SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION UNITED STATES NATIONAL MUSEUM Bulletin 147 ARCHEOLOGICAL AND HISTORICAL INVESTIGATIONS IN SAMANA DOMINICAN REPUBLIC BY HERBERT W. KRIEGER Curator of Ethnology, United States National Museum UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT PRINTING OFFICE WASHINGTON : 1929 For sale by ths Superintendent of Documents, Washington, D. C. Price 40 Cents ADVERTISEMENT The scientific publications of the National Museum include two series, known, respectively, as Proceedings and Bulletin. The Proceedings, begun in 1878, is intended primarily as a medium for the publication of original papers, based on the collections of the National Museum, that set forth newly acquired facts in biology, anthropology, and geology, with descriptions of new forms and revisions of limited groups. Copies of each paper, in pamphlet form, are distributed as published to libraries and scientific organ- izations and to specialists and others interested in the different subjects. The dates at which these separate papers are published are recorded in the table of contents of each of the volumes. The Bulletin, the first of which was issued in 1875, consist of a series of separate publications comprising monographs of large zoological groups and other general systematic treatises (occasion- ally in several volumes), faunal works, reports of expeditions, cata- logues of type-specimens, special collections, and other material of similar nature. The majority of the volumes are octavo in size, but a quarto size has been adopted in a few instances in which large plates were regarded as indispensable. In the Bulletin series appear volumes under the heading Contributions from the United States National Herharium, in octavo form, published by the National Museum since 1902, which contain papers relating to the botanical collections of the Museum.

  • Ethics in Advertising and Marketing in the Dominican Republic: Interrogating Universal Principles of Truth, Human Dignity, and Corporate Social Responsibility
    ETHICS IN ADVERTISING AND MARKETING IN THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: INTERROGATING UNIVERSAL PRINCIPLES OF TRUTH, HUMAN DIGNITY, AND CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY BY SALVADOR RAYMUNDO VICTOR DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Communications in the Graduate College of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 2012 Urbana, Illinois Doctoral Committee: Associate Professor William E. Berry, Chair and Director of Research Professor Clifford G. Christians Professor Norman K. Denzin Professor John C. Nerone ABSTRACT This research project has explored and critically examined the intersections between the use of concepts, principles and codes of ethics by advertising practitioners and marketing executives and the standards of practice for mass mediated and integrated marketing communications in the Dominican Republic. A qualitative inquiry approach was considered appropriate for answering the investigation queries. The extensive literature review of the historical media and advertising developments in the country, in conjunction with universal ethics theory, facilitated the structuring of the research questions which addressed the factors affecting the forces that shaped the advertising discourse; the predominant philosophy and moral standard ruling the advertising industry; the ethical guidelines followed by the practitioners; and the compliance with the universal principles of truth, human dignity and social responsibility. A multi- methods research strategy was utilized. In this qualitative inquiry, data were gathered and triangulated using participant observation and in-depth, semi- structured interviews, supplemented by the review of documents and archival records. Twenty industry leaders were interviewed individually in two cities of the country, Santo Domingo and Santiago. These sites account for 98% of the nation-states’ advertising industry.

My mother left behind her cosmetology business, a house, and financial independence with the goal of establishing a new future in the United States. Everything that would grant her the status as an empowered woman in the perspective of liberal feminists. However, the empowerment she thought she would achieve in the United States ended up being subjectively insufficient and something that could not fulfill her “true” ambition. The moment we set foot in Jersey City, New Jersey, we began our journey as migrant Dominican women in the United States.
