Recientemente fue puesto a circular en la Biblioteca Nacional el libro \u201cSantiago de los Caballeros, 500 a\u00f1os de historia\u201d,<\/i> cuyo autor es el veterano periodista Ubi Rivas. Son dos tomos que suman 1,410 p\u00e1ginas y que recorren la historia de ese importante municipio desde los tiempos de la colonizaci\u00f3n espa\u00f1ola hasta nuestros d\u00edas.<\/p>\n
Rivas, santiaguense de nacimiento y sentimiento, ha demostrado con este texto la vocaci\u00f3n de historiador que se cuece en la conciencia de todo periodista, sobre todo cuando arriba o se aproxima a la madurez como persona. Sabemos que los periodistas recogen el diario acontecer y lo rese\u00f1an sin pensar que elaboran piezas para la historia.<\/p>\n
Nuestro autor sali\u00f3 a edad temprana del reporterismo, pero se convirti\u00f3 en escritor de peri\u00f3dicos. Durante unos sesenta a\u00f1os ha venido publicando art\u00edculos de fondo en los diarios nacionales: El Caribe, List\u00edn Diario, El Sol, El Nacional, Hoy y La Informaci\u00f3n. Su nombre est\u00e1 ligado a la cr\u00f3nica pol\u00edtica de la segunda mitad del siglo XX y el primer cuarto del XXI.<\/p>\nUbi Rivas y Rafael Peralta Romero<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nUbi Rivas penetra los entresijos de Santiago, unas veces con el m\u00e9todo de investigaci\u00f3n del historiador, otras con la recurrencia a trozos de historia publicados en la prensa y, a\u00fan m\u00e1s, con evocaciones a la entonces apacible vida de su pueblo. Ejemplo de ello son las fotograf\u00edas y textos que coloca antes del \u00edndice de materia del libro.<\/p>\n
Me refiero, entre otros asuntos, al texto recordatorio titulado \u201cParque Duarte de Santiago de los Caballeros\u201d, p\u00e1gina once, el cual fuera publicado en La Informaci\u00f3n el 14 de enero de 2011.Inicia as\u00ed: \u201c\u00a1Cu\u00e1ntas veces trill\u00e9 tus alamedas detr\u00e1s de la primera m\u00e1gica musa atractiva que envolvi\u00f3 mi adolescencia!\u201d Varios p\u00e1rrafos inician con el adverbio exclamativo \u201c\u00a1Cu\u00e1nta o cu\u00e1nto\u2026!<\/p>\n
El primer tema del contenido de la obra aparece en la pagina 51 y se trata de las referencias precolombinas del continente, pero es en el segundo cap\u00edtulo, no numerado, comienzan las referencias directas a Santiago. Se trata de un perfil de la reina Juana de Espa\u00f1a, hija de Fernando e Isabel, mal llamada Juana la Loca, quien rein\u00f3 a partir de 1504, cuando falleci\u00f3 su madre.<\/p>\n
El 7 de diciembre de 1508, la reina Juana I orden\u00f3 la creaci\u00f3n de 17 villas en la Espa\u00f1ola, entre ellas Santiago de los Caballeros. Adem\u00e1s, Concepci\u00f3n de La Vega, Salvale\u00f3n de Hig\u00fcey, Santa Cruz de El Seibo, Santo Domingo de Guzm\u00e1n, San Juan de la Maguana, Compostela de Azua y otras que han quedado en territorio haitiano.<\/p>\n
No hay aspecto de la vida de Santiago que escape a este gran libro. Aunque es poco es lo que se puede decir en este breve espacio, no puede faltar, sin embargo, la apreciaci\u00f3n de que el libro publicado por Ubi Rivas era necesario. A trav\u00e9s de esta obra conseguiremos un acercamiento m\u00e1s oportuno y certero a Santiago: la ciudad, el municipio y la provincia.<\/p>\n
