"Este libro analiza la formación del Estado dominicano y explora el desarrollo de las relaciones Estado-sociedad desde fines del siglo XIX. Betances sostiene que la expansión estatal inicial ocurrió entre 1886 y 1924, cuando los gobiernos abrieron la economía al capital extranjero, ingresaron al crédito internacional Sin embargo, durante este período, la base social y económica de las élites nacionales no se fortaleció, lo que generó un desequilibrio en las relaciones Estado-sociedad que proporcionó el marco estructural para el surgimiento de la dictadura de Trujillo. El autor también explora el impacto de la intervención extranjera y el cambio socio-económico en el proceso de formación del estado y de clases desde 1961. "
