1. Existe una marcada e inaceptable discrepancia entre el número de jóvenes que solicitan admisión a estudios universitarios y el número de jóvenes que logran alcanzarla. Durante el año académico 1960-61 la Universidad de Puerto Rico pudo admitir a su primer año un total de 4,127 alumnos, escogidos entre 8,478 solicitantes...

Cultural and Linguistic Ambiguity in a West Indian Village (Separata)

Reisman, Karl, Cultural and Linguistic Ambiguity in a West Indian Village, extract from Szwed and Whitten, Afro-American Anthropology. (signed by the author for Drs. Hoetink & Mathews)

See also Cultural And Linguistic Ambiguity: Some Observations On The Role Of English-Based Creole In An Antiguan Villagel:

English-based Creole on the island of Antigua exists and finds its identity not in any system of bi- or multi-dialectalism (or -lingualism), nor even in a system that can be characterized as a simple scale or continuum. Creole plays its role as part of a more general way of handling cultural symbols which maximizes and plays with ambiguities of cultural reference and of expressive and moral meaning. There is a duality of cultural patterning, both of Creole versus English speech and of ‘African’ versus English culture. But this underlying basis is denied and covered, and the two cultural strands are woven into a complex garment of cultural and linguistic expression.

Entrevista con Gilberto Freyre

Montezuma de Carvalho, Joaquim, Entrevista con Gilberto Freyre, México: Frente de Afirmación Hispanista, 1975.

De la página 3:

En el momento preciso en que el mexicano Frente de Afirmación Hispanista acaba de otorgar a Gilberto Freyre su medalla de oro José Vasconcelos, resulta oportuno escuchar con profundidad al gran sociólogo, antropólogo y artista. Por este proceso, México disfrutara de un concepto más positivo y exacto de quien es Gilberto Freyre.

Estudio Socio-Ecológico De La Deserción Escolar y De La Delincuencia Juvenil En Puerto Rico

Otero De Ramos, Mercedes, Estudio Socio-Ecológico de la Deserción Escolar y de la Delincuencia Juvenil en Puerto Rico, Rio Piedras, PR: Centro de Investigaciones Sociales de la UPR, 1970.

Del Prólogo:

Deserción escolar y delincuencia de menores ha sido siempre objeto de preocupación para todos aquellos interesados en problemas sociales. El estudio socioecológico de la Sra. Otero de Ramos constituye una contribución que merece plácemes por el esfuerzo de investigación que representa, la índole prudente de sus conclusiones y recomendaciones y la serie de cuestiones que suscita. Contrariamente a lo que se puede creer, lo último es altamente deseable ya que permite un repensar que frecuentemente se deja de lado por el lector y los investigadores que más tarde se ocupan del mismo o relacionados problemas.

The Revised Constitution of the Jamaica Labour Party (1961)

Jamaica Labour Party, The Revised Constitution of the Jamaica Labour Party, Jamaica: J. B. Harding & Co, 1961.

The Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) is one of the two major political parties in Jamaica, the other being the People's National Party (PNP). While its name suggests that it is a social democratic party, the JLP is actually a conservative party.[3][4][5] However, it has longstanding ties to the Jamaican labour movement. The JLP is a member of the Caribbean Democrat Union.
(…)
The party was founded on 8 July 1943 by Alexander Bustamante as the political wing of the Bustamante Industrial Trade Union. Bustamante had previously been a member of the PNP.

La Revolución Democrática de Venezuela

Alexander, Robert J., La Revolución Democrática de Venezuela, Medellín Colombia: Ediciones Albon – Interprint, 1967. (extremadamente frágil)

Robert Jackson "Bob" Alexander (November 26, 1918 – April 27, 2010) was an American political activist, writer, and academic who spent most of his professional career at Rutgers University. He is best remembered for his pioneering studies on the trade union movement in Latin America and dissident communist political parties, including ground-breaking monographs on the International Communist Right Opposition, Maoism, and the international Trotskyist movement.

Rómulo Ernesto Betancourt Bello (22 February 1908 – 28 September 1981…), known as "The Father of Venezuelan Democracy", was President of Venezuela from 1945 to 1948 and again from 1959 to 1964, as well as leader of Acción Democrática, Venezuela's dominant political party in the 20th century. Betancourt, one of Venezuela's most important political figures, led a tumultuous and highly controversial career in Latin American politics. Periods of exile brought Betancourt in contact with various Latin American countries as well as the United States, securing his legacy as one of the few real international leaders to emerge from 20th-century Latin America. Scholars credit Betancourt as the Founding Father of modern democratic Venezuela.

Curaçao

Römer, René A., Curaçao, UNICA: Association of Caribbean Universities and Research Institutes, 1981.

From the Foreword by Dr. B.M. Leito:

Un pueblo na kaminda – a people on the move: an apt title for a study of the evolution of the population of the island of Curaçao from the coming of the first settlers from overseas to its present-day composition, with a look to the future. I consider this study by Dr. René Römer so important because it gives the reader an idea of the genesis of our remarkable, extremely mixed society. In my opinion, variety is perhaps the most typical feature of the society of Curaçao: this variety is expressed in the different shades of skin color, the other racial characteristics, religious confessions, the many languages spoken by groups and families and many other aspects of social life on the island.

René Antonio Römer (2 July 1929, Willemstad, Curaçao – 25 February 2003, Curaçao)[1] was Governor of the Netherlands Antilles from 1983 to 1990. He was also a professor of sociology at the University of The Netherlands Antilles and at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands.

Rafael Cordero y Molina [note 1](October, 1790–July 5, 1868), popularly known as Maestro Cordero, was a self-educated Puerto Rican who provided free schooling to the children of his city regardless of race or social standing. He is considered the "Father of Public Education in Puerto Rico".[1] His sister Celestina Cordero established the first school for girls in San Juan, Puerto Rico. In 2004, the Roman Catholic Church began the process of Cordero's beatification. In 2013, Pope Francis recognized him as Venerable.

Cuatro Villancicos (Esteban Salas): Partitura

Salas, Esteban, Cuatro Villancicos: Partitura, Ediciones del Depto. de Música de la Biblioteca Nacional “José Martí”, La Habana, Cuba: Biblioteca Nacional José Martí, 1960.

De la Introducción, escrita por Pablo Hernández Balaguer:

Uno de los aspectos más interesantes de la obra musical de Esteban Salas, son los Villancicos. Estas breves composiciones para voces e instrumentos – cuyo pasado se remonta a la época de los trovadores – lejos de ser obras sin importancia constituyen, quizás, la muestra más elocuente de su talento.

Esteban Salas y Castro (December 25, 1725 – July 14, 1803) was a Cuban composer of religious music.[1] His compositions focused chiefly on vocal music, and are a fine representation of the late Baroque style. Although heavily influenced by French and Italian works of the period, his music is considered to incorporate an original Latin American component. He became a teacher and head of music at the Chapel of Music at the cathedral of Santiago de Cuba from 1764. He also studied theology and canon law and was ordained a priest in Santiago de Cuba in 1790. Salas composed his last carol for Christmas 1801.

A Review of the Political Scene: An Address by the Political Leader, Special PNM Convention

Williams, Eric, A Review of the Political Scene: An Address by the Political Leader, Special PNM Convention, Port-of-Spain, Trinidad, W.I.: PNM Pub. Co., September 11, 1966.

Note on the People’s National Movement (Independence Era):

In the 1966 General Elections the PNM won 24 of 36 seats with 52% of the vote. However economic and social discontent grew under PNM rule. This came to a climax in April 1970 with the Black Power Revolution. On April 13, PNM Deputy Leader and Minister of External Affairs A.N.R. Robinson resigned from the party and government. On the 20th facing a revolt by a portion of the Army in collusion with the growing Black Power movement, Williams declared a State of Emergency. By April 22 the mutineers had begun negotiations for surrender. Following this certain ministers were forced to resign including John O'Halloran, Minister of Industry and Gerard Montano, Minister of Home Affairs.
