The Paradox of Paternalism by Elizabeth S. Manley Pdf
In the Dominican Republic, the period from the ascendancy of dictator Rafael Trujillo in the late 1920s through the twelve-year rule of his successor Joaquín Balaguer in 1978 has been understood through a highly masculine and paternalist lens. This work argues, however, that Dominican women throughout this period engaged in local and national politics, operated within complex inter-American relations, and employed the most current global political discourse to further their diverse personal and political agendas.
