Abstract:
AbstractThis article examines North Atlantic views of Protestant missions and race in the Dominican Republic between 1905 and 1911, a brief period of political stability in the years leading up to the U.S. Occupation (1916–1924). Although Protestant missions during this period remained small in scale on the Catholic island, the views of British and American missionaries evidence how international perceptions of Dominicans transformed in the early twentieth century. Thus, this article makes two key interventions within the literature on Caribbean race and religion. First, it shows how outsiders

Abstract: This article examines nineteenth-century African Americans’ perspectives of the Dominican Republic in comparison to Haiti. As independent Black republics in the US purview, Hispaniola’s two nations seemed fit for African American emigration, Black Protestant evangelization, and Black US diplomatic representation. Yet, while historians have examined African Americans’ ideas about Haiti, scholarly attention on the Dominican Republic has been limited to Frederick Douglass’s diplomatic roles in 1871 and 1889–91.

We are able to track a representative sample of more than 3,200 youths at the six-year follow-up.
