Manny Alexander, Sammy Sosa, Tony Fernández—some of the many baseball stars who hail from San Pedro in the Dominican Republic. In his multi-faceted profile of this impoverished, ethnically diverse region, the author of Cod and Salt traces the prodigious athletic talent back to the sugar industry, discussing economics, racism, and U.S.-Dominican relations.
