dc.descriptionat the height of escalation in the Vietnam conflict, Juan Bosch, a leading writer from the Dominican Republic and briefly its president, issued a scathing critique of “pentagonism,” which is the term he used to identify overdeveloped capitalism in the United States. Under “pentagonism,” classic imperialist methods are replaced by a new form of global domination that emphasizes internal colonization within the mother country, transforming what had been the imperial center into what Bosch refers to as a “metropo-colony” (22). Bosch’s prophetic view of neocolonialism is colored by his firsthand encounter with U.S. troops, which recently had disembarked in his native land with violent consequences. This 1965 occupation was, however, only the most recent incident in a wave of interventions stretching back a century and a half to the inception of the Monroe Doctrine, which Bosch, like his countryman Pedro Mir, viewed as having its roots in U.S. imperial designs on the Dominican Republic.en_US
