"The Dominican Crisis: A Case Study in American Policy”, in Commentary (Journal)

Draper, Theodore, “The Dominican Crisis: A Case Study in American Policy”, in Commentary, Vol. 40, No. 6, December 1965.

Theodore H. "Ted" Draper (September 11, 1912 – February 21, 2006) was an American historian and political writer. Draper is best known for the 14 books he completed during his life, including work regarded as seminal on the formative period of the American Communist Party, the Cuban Revolution, and the Iran-Contra Affair. Draper was a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and the 1990 recipient of the Herbert Feis Award for Nonacademically Affiliated Historians from the American Historical Association.

Commentary is a monthly American magazine on religion, Judaism, politics, social and cultural issues. Founded by the American Jewish Committee in 1945, it was edited by Norman Podhoretz from 1960 to 1995. Besides its strong coverage of cultural issues, Commentary provided a strong voice for the anti-Stalinist left. Podhoretz, originally a liberal Democrat turned neoconservative, moved the magazine to right and toward the Republican Party in the 1970s and 1980s.

De la Presentación escrita por el Director Regional José Lizárraga:

A partir de la Conferencia de las Naciones Unidas sobre el Medio Ambiente Humano, celebrada en Estocolmo en 1972, el interés por la problemática del medio ambiente y el desarrollo en America Latina ha venido en aumento. Con él, se han incrementado las investigaciones y la publicación de estudios sobre diversos aspectos de esta temática. Estos van desde los diagnósticos sobre diversos procesos relativos a la degradación del ambiente y el uso de los recursos, hasta estudios teóricos y metodológicos para reorientar los estilos de desarrollo y proponer modalidades para un manejo más integrado y sostenido del patrimonio de recursos de los países de la región. Con ello se ha generado un pensamiento propio, así como una capacidad de análisis y un acervo de conocimientos sobre la problemática ambiental de América Latina. Lo anterior ha dado lugar a una amplia bibliografía. …

Inventario de Investigaciones en Marcha en la República Dominicana, Enero 1976

Fondo para el Avance de las Ciencias Sociales en la República Dominicana, Inventario de Investigaciones en Marcha en la República Dominicana, Enero 1976, Santo Domingo: Fondo para el Avance de las Ciencias Sociales en la República Dominicana, 19 de diciembre de 1975.

De la Presentación de E. Antonio de Moya (UASD) y José Alcántara Almánzar (UNPHU):

El presente inventario de las investigaciones en marcha en la República Dominicana ha surgido como un intento de llenar un vacío en la disponibilidad de información sobre la situación del quehacer científico nacional. Hasta la fecha no existía una publicación que recogiera los proyectos de personas e instituciones dedicadas a la investigaciones en el país, razón por la cual la comunicación y colaboración entre los investigadores quedaba reducida grandemente y sus esfuerzos permanecían dispersos, a la vez que resultaba prácticamente imposible conocer el curso del proceso científico en el país.

Haitian Migration and the Haitian Economy: Papers

Paul R. Latortue: The Haitian Economy in Historical Perspective; Dianne Rocheleau: Geographic and Socioeconomic Aspects of the Recent Haitian Migration to South Florida; Karen E. Richman: From Peasant to Migratory Farmworker: Haitian Migrants in U.S. Agriculture.

From Associate Director Terry L. McCoy:

The contents of Occasional Paper No. 3 originated in 1982. Dr. Latortue gave his paper at a mini-seminar on Haiti held at the University in July. He returned a year later as a Visiting Scholar with the Caribbean Migration Program. Dr. Rocheleu’s paper was done as a part of a joint research Project conducted with Florida International University under the State STAR grant to investigate the impact of immigrants and refugees on Florida. Karen Richman’s paper is derived from her work on Haitians in the domestic migrant stream.

England vs. Spain in America, 1739-1748: the Spanish Side of the Hill (Separata)

Ogelsby, J. C. M., England vs. Spain in America, 1739-1748: the Spanish Side of the Hill, La Société historique du Canada, Historical Papers 5, no. 1, 1970.

The War of Jenkins' Ear (known as Guerra del Asiento in Spain) was a conflict between Britain and Spain that lasted from 1739 to 1748, with major operations largely ended by 1742. Its unusual name, coined by Thomas Carlyle in 1858,[5] refers to an ear severed from Robert Jenkins, a captain of a British merchant ship and acknowledged smuggler. The severed ear was subsequently exhibited before the British Parliament.

Folk Songs of Guyana in Words and Music: Queh-queh, Chanties and Plantation Themes

Brathwaite, Serena U. & P.A. Brathwaite, Eds., Folk Songs of Guyana in Words and Music: Queh-queh, Chanties and Plantation Themes, Guyana: P.A. Brathwaite, 1966.

Percy A. Brathwaite has been considered by some to be one of Guyana's prominent musical critics during the mid-20th century. He has been considered a pioneer - one of the first persons to regularly write reviews on musical and other cultural events in Guyana. During the 1940s through the 1960s his reviews were published in The Daily Argosy and The Daily Chronicle through columns such as The Forum and The Clef. Brathwaite's framework for evaluating music in Guyana was based on formal training in the European genres and solid exposure to Guyanese hinterland, rural, and urban idioms. His critical abilities were further sharpened by his significant personal experiences as a hinterland worker, choir founder and conductor, amateur athletic coach, folk researcher and song catcher, scoutmaster, journalist, music teacher, poet, labour leader, and author. Braithwaite, who died at the age of 90 in 1993, is remembered as a versatile man - a Renaissance man.

Como se Vive en un Barrio de Santiago

García, Cesar, Como se vive en un barrio de Santiago: metodología para investigación de la vivienda en el barrio "El Congo", Santiago, República Dominicana: Universidad Católica Madre y Maestra, 1967.

Del Inicio:

Esta investigación se escogió como tarea académica para el curso de Estadística ofrecido al tercer curso de Administración de Empresas en el año lectivo 1966-67. Los estudiantes eligieron el tema de la vivienda por votación de una lista de posibles temas. Tomando como base un mapa de Santiago con indicación de todas sus barriadas, y también por votación, se eligió entre los barrios el denominado “El Congo”. Es obvio que esta selección se hizo fundándose en la reciente popularidad de dicho barrio que fomentaron los periódicos.
