Abstract

Alan McPherson is invited to contribute in this issue of Humanidades: Revista de la Universidad de Montevideo with a detailed reflection on the Dominican Crisis of 1965, six decades after this critical event in inter-American history. Given his academic trajectory and expertise in U.S.–Latin American relations, we sought his reflections on the Dominican Crisis of 1965 and its broader implications. McPherson, a historian and professor at Temple University, is renowned for his extensive work on anti-Americanism and U.S. interventions, including The Invaded (2014) and Yankee No! (2003). His contributions have significantly shaped diplomatic history and U.S.–Latin American studies. This dialogue sheds light on critical aspects of the Dominican intervention, the role of the OAS, and the evolving approaches of new diplomatic history.
