Bibliography on Haiti: English and Creole Items, Paper # 6

From the Introduction:

Since 1977 when they began arriving in Florida in significant numbers, Haitian immigrants have had an impact on the American conscience rarely matched by the migrations of any other group. The heartrending spectacle in 1981 of 33 Haitians drowning after their 25-foot homemade boat capsized within 50 yards of the shores of the affluent community of Hillsboro Beach, Florida, was followed on network televisión by other stories of the tragedies of the Haitian boat people. The publicity resulted in positive action by many U.S. civic groups.

New World Quarterly (Journal) Vol. IV, No. 1

New World Quarterly, Vol. IV, No. 1, 1967.

Repeating Islands – It was one of Caribbean economist Norman Girvan’s final requests to his family: Make the archive of New World Quarterly, a foundational journal that appeared between 1963 and 1972, available to younger generations. Accordingly the Girvan family, working with Kari Levitt and Judith Wedderburn, has digitized all 14 issues of this postcolonial gem of a publication, (…) “Our thoughts are that a digital publication is a contemporary gesture in the spirit and scope of The New World community, residing in a space with open access to all,” said the Girvan family’s statement. Norman Girvan, along with Lloyd Best, George Beckford and other academic activists had launched the journal in the early 60s. A valuable archive of articles on everything from the geopolitics of the Anglophone Caribbean region to agriculture in China, the sugar industry, Sports, Visual Arts, Literature, Caribbean integration the journal represented in its pages the “birth, flourishing and eventual demise of one of the region’s most influential intellectual movements,” the New World Group.

Nursing: A Calling or a Career?

Welsh, Bronte A., Nursing: A Calling or a Career?, n.p., 1971.

From the National Archives:

Bronte Agatha Welsh was born in Challengers Village on the 31st December 1918, the first daughter of Evan and Annie Welsh and the second of their six children. Evan was a mason and Anne a seamstress so Bronte and her brothers and sisters grew up in a household were industry was highly valued. (…) For about three years she engaged in private teaching, but her true love was nursing. She was able to enter the profession at the age of nineteen. For a short while she stopped nursing to work in a pharmacy where she learnt much that would later be of use. In 1942 Welsh joined the staff of the Cunningham Hospital where, for three years she worked as a general nurse until she obtained her certificate in General Nursing and Midwifery and attained the rank of staff nurse. She then branched off into Public Health or Preventive Nursing. She became the first Public Health Nurse to be recognised in St. Kitts.

From HerStory:

In 1971, Welsh retired from the public service and moved to the US Virgin Islands. The elderly nurse published a booklet entitled Nursing – A Calling or a Career?, which narrated the history and development of nursing and women’s rights in St. Kitts and Nevis. The proceeds from selling this booklet assisted the Red Cross in buying a van for transporting the physically challenged.
