| Sumario: | The article analyzes how the Chilean magazine Topaze portrayed, through cartoons and satirical notes, the US occupation of the Dominican Republic in 1965, exposing the tensions between anti-imperialism and anti-communism in the context of the Cold War. The illustrations criticized both U.S. intervention and the passivity of the OAS, presenting this organization as useless and subordinate to U.S. interests. Initially, Topaze highlighted the position of President Eduardo Frei and his leadership in the defense of Latin American sovereignty. The cartoons and notes not only reflected the Chilean perception of the United States as an imperialist power, but also represented Latin America as a vulnerable region and Chile as its defender, thus consolidating the social and political imaginaries of the time. |
