Summary "A Summer on the Borders of the Caribbean Sea" by J. Dennis Harris is a travel narrative written during the mid-19th century. The book chronicles the author's observations and experiences during his travels in the Caribbean, particularly focusing on the Dominican Republic and the nuanced dynamics of culture, politics, and society in the region. The narrative likely includes themes of colonization, race relations, and economic conditions, reflecting on the implications of American influence in the Caribbean. The opening of the narrative begins with the author's journey from New York to Puerto de Plata, detailing the voyage's smoothness and the stunning scenes of the sea and islands. As he arrives at his destination, he describes the local customs, the standing army's oddity, and the beauty of the landscape, contrasting it with the non-progressive appearance of the area. The author also expresses curiosity about the Dominican Republic's potential for American settlement, discussing the complex interplay between opportunity and the historical context of the region. This blend of vivid description with critical social commentary sets the tone for the exploration of cultural identity and historical consequence that unfolds in the subsequent letters.
