  • Landscaping Hispaniola Moreau De Saint-Méry's
    New West Indian Guide Vol. 85, no. 3-4 (2011), pp. 169-190 URL: http://www.kitlv-journals.nl/index.php/nwig/index URN:NBN:NL:UI:10-1-101703 Copyright: content is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 License ISSN: 0028-9930 MARIA CRISTINA FUMAGALLI LANDSCAPING HISPANIOLA MOREAU DE SAINT-MÉRY’S BORDER POLITICS A few days after the Haitian earthquake of January 12, 2010, Sonia Marmolejos, a young Dominican woman who was in the Darío Contreras Hospital of Santo Domingo with her newborn daughter, decided to breastfeed three Haitian children who had been admitted there after the disaster. They were wounded, hungry, and dehydrated, so Sonia Marmolejos acted on impulse and she did not expect to receive any special recognition for her generous gesture. The government of the Dominican Republic capitalized on this story, defined Sonia Marmolejos as a heroine, and used her actions as a metaphor to illustrate the charitable response of the country toward neighboring Haiti. Haiti and the Dominican Republic share the island of Hispaniola and a history of colonialism which, however, has conjugated itself in very differ- ent ways. Officially under Spanish rule since 1493, the island was mostly left unpopulated for three-quarters of a century. In 1625 the French started to occupy parts of it (mainly in the north) and until the official recognition of the French colony of Saint-Domingue in 1777, they constantly pushed for- ward their unofficial borders, while the Spanish carried out punitive raids to eradicate the French presence. On the Spanish side, the economy was mainly livestock-based but the French developed an impressive network of planta- tions which relied on the constant import of enslaved labor from Africa.

  • Beneath the Surface: Argentine-United States Relations As Perón Assumed the Presidency
    Beneath the Surface: Argentine-United States Relations as Perón Assumed the Presidency Vivian Reed June 5, 2009 HST 600 Latin American Seminar Dr. John Rector 1 Juan Domingo Perón was elected President of Argentina on February 24, 1946,1 just as the world was beginning to recover from World War II and experiencing the first traces of the Cold War. The relationship between Argentina and the United States was both strained and uncertain at this time. The newly elected Perón and his controversial wife, Eva, represented Argentina. The United States’ presence in Argentina for the preceding year was primarily presented through Ambassador Spruille Braden.2 These men had vastly differing perspectives and visions for Argentina. The contest between them was indicative of the relationship between the two nations. Beneath the public and well-documented contest between Perón and United States under the leadership of Braden and his successors, there was another player whose presence was almost unnoticed. The impact of this player was subtlety effective in normalizing relations between Argentina and the United States. The player in question was former United States President Herbert Hoover, who paid a visit to Argentina and Perón in June of 1946. This paper will attempt to describe the nature of Argentine-United States relations in mid-1946. Hoover’s mission and insights will be examined. In addition, the impact of his visit will be assessed in light of unfolding events and the subsequent historiography. The most interesting aspect of the historiography is the marked absence of this episode in studies of Perón and Argentina3 even though it involved a former United States President and the relations with 1 Alexander, 53.

  • Eisenhower and the Overthrow of Rafael Trujillo by Stephen G. Rabe
    Winter 1986 Eisenhower and the Overthrow of Rafael Trujillo by Stephen G. Rabe INTRODUCTION In the mid-1970s, in the aftermath of the Watergate scandals, journal­ ists, legislators, and scholars inquired into the Cold War activities of the Central Intelligence Agency. Among the most significant of the studies was the report, Alleged Assassination Plots Involving Foreign Leaders, issued by the Select Senate Committee charged to study intelligence activities and chaired by Senator Frank.Church, Democrat of Idaho.1 The committee concluded that, during the Eisenhower and Kennedy administrations, U.S. officials plotted to kill Fidel Castro of Cuba and Patrice Lumumba of the Congo. The senators also found that officials supplied weapons to Dominican dissidents whose aim was to assassinate Rafael Trujillo. Finally, they agreed that in 1963 the Kennedy administration had encour­ aged South Vietnamese generals to overthrow Ngo Dinh Diem and that in 1970 the Nixon government encouraged Chilean military officers to block Salvador Allende from assuming the office of President of Chile. Those plots led to the death of Diem and his brother, and General Rene Schneider, the Chilean Commander-in-Chief of the Army and a constitu­ tionalist opposed to military coups. Though the Church Committee found no evidence that U.S. officials favored the assassinations of the Diem brothers or Schneider, as a result of these findings, the U.S. Congress made assassination of foreign leaders illegal. While the senators determined that the United States had plotted against foreign leaders, they could not agree on who authorized the assas­ sination plots. The system of executive command and control, they noted, "was so ambiguous that it is difficult to be certain at what levels assassina­ tion activity was known and authorized." The CIA may have acted without explicit authorization from the presidents.

  • When I Took an Extensive Trip to Chile, Brazil, Argentina, and Peru in The
    / Acknowledgments hen I took an extensive trip to Chile, Brazil, Argentina, and Peru in W ​ the spring of 2006, I was not thinking of putting together a book on what has happened to women’s movements in Latin America. I had not done field research in the region since the mid-1990s, and from a distance it seemed that women’s movements had declined and that women were no longer considered political actors of any consequence. Instead of focusing on women, I therefore joined my husband in a series of interviews on political and economic conditions, eager to see at close range how these democracies were evolving in general and to assess the effects of globalization. Yet as I conducted interviews in Brazil, attended Michelle Bachelet’s in- auguration in Chile (and returned to Santiago for several weeks during the height of the debate on gender quotas), caught up with Peru in the period be- tween the first and second rounds of the 2006 election, and wrestled with the Kirchner phenomenon in Argentina, I came to realize that a new book was necessary. Women’s movements were not moribund, as some I interviewed had suggested, but were instead undergoing major shifts in strategy, and their agendas had changed. This book aims to capture the new directions of feminist activism and their implications for democracy and gender justice. It would be impossible to thank all the individuals who helped along the way. My greatest debt is to the authors themselves, who were enthusiastic from the beginning, grappled with the issues, and responded with good spirit to my editorial blandishments.
