By the time the English translation of Juan Bosch’s story “The Indelible Spot” was published in the Saturday Evening Post on November 16, 1963, his eight-month presidency was over. Bosch’s brief tenure was punctuated by growing unrest among Dominicans on the Left and mounting suspicion from those on the Right. Central to this tension was the question of his loyalties to US-style democracy, Soviet communism, and/or Castro’s Cuba. Against this backdrop, the tale of how his short story came to be translated and published is emblematic of the complex, contradictory, and confusing cultural and political discourses surrounding the future of the Dominican Republic within the sphere of US Cold War policies. Central to this analysis is the unique affiliation between two authors: Juan Bosch and John Bartlow Martin, the first US ambassador to the Dominican Republic after Trujillo’s assassination. Ultimately, the communiques and notes about the translation and two distinct versions of the final published story found in Martin’s papers at the Library of Congress reveal the ideological impasse between Cold War and Caribbean discourses of culture and power Para cuando se publico la traduccion al ingles de la historia “The Indelible Spot”, el 16 de noviembre de 1963 en The Saturday Evening Post, ya Juan Bosch habia culminado su octavo mes de mandato tras la caida de su gobierno. La efimera estancia en el poder de Bosch se dio por el malestar de los dominicanos de la izquierda y las sospechas de aquellos de la derecha. El punto central de esta tension radicaba en la duda de su lealtad al estilo de democracia estadounidense, el comunismo sovietico y/o la Cuba castrista. La condicion en las que se logro la traduccion y posterior publicacion del relato de Bosch es emblematica y compleja debido a los discursos culturales y politicos contradictorios que rodeaban el futuro de la Republica Dominicana dentro de la esfera de las politicas estadounidenses en torno a la Guerra Fria. El tema central de este analisis corresponde a la afiliacion unica entre dos autores: Juan Bosch y John Bartlow Martin, el primer embajador estadounidense en la Republica Dominicana despues del asesinato de Trujillo. Por ultimo, los comunicados y las notas de la traduccion y dos versiones distintas de la historia final publicada encontrados en documentos de Martin en la Biblioteca del Congreso revelan el impase ideologico entre la Guerra Fria y los discursos caribenos de la cultura y el poder.
