Podcasts about ciudad trujillo

Pocos personajes han marcado tanto la historia de la República Dominicana como Rafael Leónidas Trujillo. Hijo de un sargento español que llegó a la isla durante los años de la anexión, nació en una pequeña ciudad de provincias a finales del siglo XIX. Sin apenas estudios, se alistó en la guardia nacional creada por los estadounidenses tras su intervención de 1916 y allí hizo carrera militar ascendiendo rápidamente por el escalafón. Era un tipo muy inteligente y con grandes dotes de manipulación. En 1930, tras una serie de maniobras políticas y un golpe de Estado, se hizo con el control del país, estableciendo una dictadura que se caracterizó por la represión, el culto a la personalidad, y la reorganización administrativa que, aunque trajo cierto grado de estabilidad y desarrollo económico, lo hizo a costa de la libertad y de la vida de muchos dominicanos. La dictadura de Trujillo, conocida en la República Dominicana como trujillismo, fue un período de modernización a marchas forzadas. Bajo su mando, se construyeron carreteras, escuelas y se trató de mejorar la infraestructura del país. Pero estas mejoras vinieron acompañadas de un régimen personalista que no ahorraba brutalidad contra los opositores. Trujillo creo un sistema de vigilancia y control social en el que la policía secreta, conocida como la SIM (Servicio de Inteligencia Militar), fue responsable de la desaparición, tortura y asesinato de todos los que se oponían a él. Una de las acciones más infames de Trujillo fue el asesinato masivo de haitianos en 1937, la célebre masacre del perejil, en la que se estima que fueron liquidados entre 15.000 y 30.000 haitianos por orden directa del propio Trujillo. Este acontecimiento no sólo se explica por la acreditada crueldad del dictador, sino también por su deseo de blanquear el país eliminando población haitiana al mismo tiempo que trataba de atraer colonos desde España, que en aquel momento se encontraba en plena guerra civil. Trujillo también promovió el culto a su personalidad, rebautizo ciudades, montañas, y hasta la capital Santo Domingo, la ciudad más antigua de América, cambió su nombre por el de Ciudad Trujillo. Se instituyeron feriados y celebraciones en su honor. Monumentos dedicados a él empezaron a proliferar por todo el país. Su control se extendía a todos los aspectos de la vida dominicana, desde la economía hasta la cultura, y eso necesariamente incluía la censura de prensa y la manipulación de elecciones. Su régimen se mantuvo gracias a una red de espionaje, corrupción, y en ocasiones, al apoyo internacional, especialmente de Estados Unidos, que veía en Trujillo un baluarte contra la expansión del comunismo en el Caribe. A pesar de que su poder llegó a ser absoluto, el final de Trujillo empezó con el descontento interno y la presión internacional. Sus hijos, a quienes había preparado para sucederle, no lograban inspirar la misma lealtad y respeto que él. La corrupción y la represión habían desgastado al Gobierno y ciertos sectores de la élite dominicana veían en su desaparición una oportunidad para el cambio. El 30 de mayo de 1961 Trujillo fue emboscado y asesinado en su automóvil en una carretera cerca de la capital. Pero la muerte de Trujillo no significó el inmediato fin de su régimen. Su familia y sus partidarios intentaron mantenerse en el poder, pero el país se encaminó hacia la democracia, aunque no sin conflictos y una nueva intervención de Estados Unidos. Rafael Trujillo es historia ya, pero su figura sigue estando muy presente en la República Dominicana. Para hablar de él nos acompaña hoy en La ContraHistoria Rocío de León, que es periodista y dominicana, aunque lleva ya unos cuantos años residiendo en España. Nos conocimos hace unos años cuando Rocío preparaba un reportaje para una cadena de televisión dominicana sobre la tumba de Trujillo, que se encuentra en Madrid. Hoy me devuelve la visita y Trujillo vuelve a cruzarse en nuestro camino.

There's no shortage of sports teams that change cities or names over the course of their franchise history. But what about the teams that just cease to exist? Perhaps no team story packs more drama into one year of existence than that of Los Dragones de Ciudad Trujillo. It's a story that combines one of the most celebrated names in baseball history with one of the biggest names in twentieth-century dictatorship. This special episode comes from the audiobook edition of Mobituaries. You can learn more here: http://bit.ly/MoAudioSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Urania sigue recorriendo las calles de Ciudad Trujillo y toma una decisión….

Coming hot from a jam packed weekend in Fire Island James has notes on... the Hunger Game movies? The duo talk about these movies, also some how Omarosa manages to squeeze herself back into the fray with their conversation as well. Nnekay takes us back with the story of the Dominican Republic's baseball team Dragones de Ciudad Trujillo- created by 1937 dictator Rafael Trujillo. A team while created in a time of fascism still managed to treat black baseball players better than the United States. James investigates the difference between various terms that we might have misused in past episodes: Pansexual, Bisexual, and Sexually Fluid. We're here to grow just like everyone else!      Links:   https://www.avclub.com/in-1937-a-dictator-assembled-a-baseball-team-for-the-a-1823978045     https://bisexual.org/?qna=what-is-the-difference-between-bisexual-and-terms-like-pansexual-polysexual-omnisexual-ambisexual-and-fluid   Twitter: @minoritykorner Email: minoritykorner@gmail.com Like Us On Facebook: Minority Korner Read more at http://minoritykorner.com/#Asukdprzs5OKCHHy.99   https://www.slideshare.net/joshhopper1447/pansexuality-bisexuality-and-genderfluidity-powerpoint

Today we are joined by Averell “Ace” Smith, The Pitcher and the Dictator: Satchel Paige’s Unlikely Season in the Dominican Republic (University of Nebraska Press, 2018). Smith is a political consultant and a lifelong baseball fan who became enamored with the game when he bought a copy of the 1956 edition of The Official Encyclopedia of Baseball at a school rummage sale. In a descriptive and richly detailed narrative, legendary pitcher Satchel Paige, along with several Negro League stars, are enticed to play in a tournament in the Dominican Republic. Paige, offered an eye-popping $30,000, is amazed by the lack of racial discord on the island, the relaxed baseball schedule and the ease in obtaining good food, wine and women. But there is a dark side. Paige is playing for Ciudad Trujillo in a tournament created to support and celebrate the “re-election” of the country’s ruthless dictator, Rafael Trujillo. And “El Jefe” does not like to lose. So, when Paige and his teammates struggle early in the tournament, Trujillo assigns the leader of his death squads to join team management. The message is clear: “You’d better win.” The all-stars do, by the barest margins, and Paige and his teammates return to the United States. Although they are banned from the Negro Leagues, a barnstorming tour is much more profitable. This book combines politics, racial issues and some of the best men who ever played the game. Bob D’Angelo is about to receive his master’s degree in history at Southern New Hampshire University. He earned his bachelor’s degree in journalism from the University of Florida and spent more than three decades as a sportswriter and sports copy editor, including 28 years on the sports copy desk at The Tampa (Fla.)
