First, you should analyze Dubois and Lee’s arguments.  Here are some questions that may help you:

• How did Trujillo enforce American foreign policy?
• What are examples of how Trujillo used his power and American support to shape a contemporary Dominican identity?
• What is their argument?  Do you agree?  Why or why not?

Then, you should think about the Era of Trujillo and the events that led to his assassination.

• Who were the local opposing political forces? What were they fighting for?
• What did his assassination shape the political sphere in the country?
• How did the Cuban Revolution effect American foreign policy toward the Dominican Republic?.
• Some Dominicans speak fondly of Trujillo.  Why do you think this is the case?
• In your opinion, what have been the effects of the 30-year Trujillo dictatorship? Why do you say this?
