This article examines North Atlantic views of Protestant missions and race in the Dominican Republic between 1905 and 1911, a brief period of political stability in the years leading up to the U.S. Occupation (1916–1924). Although Protestant missions during this period remained small in scale on the Catholic island, the views of British and American missionaries evidence how international perceptions of Dominicans transformed in the early twentieth century. Thus, this article makes two key interventions within the literature on Caribbean race and religion. First, it shows how outsiders’ ideas about the Dominican Republic's racial composition aimed to change the Dominican Republic from a “black” country into a racially ambiguous “Latin” one on the international stage. Second, in using North Atlantic missionaries’ perspectives to track this shift, it argues that black-led Protestant congregations represented a possible alternative future that both elite Dominicans and white North Atlantic missionaries rejected.

救赎圣多明各：北大西洋传教士和一个国家的种族转变

本文考察了 1905 年至 1911 年间北大西洋对多米尼加共和国新教传教和种族的看法，这是美国占领（1916 年至 1924 年）前几年政治稳定的短暂时期。尽管这一时期的新教传教士在天主教岛上的规模仍然很小，但英国和美国传教士的观点证明了国际上对多米尼加人的看法在 20 世纪初发生了怎样的转变。因此，本文在有关加勒比种族和宗教的文献中进行了两项关键干预。首先，它展示了外界对多米尼加共和国种族构成的看法如何旨在将多米尼加共和国从国际舞台上的“黑人”国家变成种族模糊的“拉丁”国家。第二，
