This study of the political, economic, and sociocultural
relationship between the Dominican Republic and the United States
follows its evolution from the middle of the nineteenth century to
the mid-1990s. It deals with the interplay of these dimensions from
each country's perspective and in both private and public
interactions. From the U.S. viewpoint, important issues include
interpretation of the rise and fall of the Dominican Republic's
strategic importance, the legacy of military intervention and
occupation, the problem of Dominican dictatorship and instability,
and vacillating U.S. efforts to "democratize" the country. From the
Dominican perspective, the essential themes involve foreign
policies adopted from a position of relative weakness, ambivalent
love-hate views toward the United States, emphasis on economic
interests and the movement of Dominicans between the two countries,
international political isolation, the adversarial relationship
with neighboring Haiti, and the legacy of dictatorship and the
uneven evolution of a Dominican-style democratic system. The
Dominican Republic and the United States is the eleventh book in
The United States and the Americas series, volumes suitable for
classroom use.
