La Escuela Cubana de Bibliotecarios y la Asociación Cubana de Bibliotecarios: Génesis documental de dos instituciones actuales, por María del Rosario Díaz Rodríguez, Biblioteca Nacional José Martí:

No fue hasta el 29 de mayo de 1947, que la Facultad de Filosofía y Letras aprobó el plan para la creación de una Escuela de Bibliotecarios anexa a la Facultad. Otra vertiente de la formación bibliotecaria la inició la Sociedad Económica de Amigos del País, cuando el 13 de septiembre de 1950 comenzó con la creación de la Escuela Cubana de Bibliotecarios. Estuvieron en su inauguración, entre otras personalidades, el presidente de la Sociedad, Dr. Antonio M. Eligio de la Puente, el Dr. Cosme de la Torriente, autor del primer proyecto para crear una escuela semejante, y el presidente de la Junta de Patronos de la Biblioteca Nacional —creada por iniciativa del propio Fernando Ortiz— Emeterio S. Santovenia. El Dr. Jerrold Orne, director de las Bibliotecas de la Washington University de la ciudad de Saint Louis, Missouri, viajó a Cuba como asesor.

La Vida: A Puerto Rican Family in the Culture of Poverty-San Juan and New York

Lewis, Oscar, La Vida: A Puerto Rican Family in the Culture of Poverty —San Juan and New York, New York: Random House, 1965.

Reviewed in International Migration Review © 1967.

Oscar Lewis, born Lefkowitz (December 25, 1914 – December 16, 1970)[1] was an American anthropologist. He is best known for his vivid depictions of the lives of slum dwellers and his argument a cross-generational culture of poverty among poor people transcends national boundaries. Lewis contended that the cultural similarities occurred because they were "common adaptations to common problems" and that "the culture of poverty is both an adaptation and a reaction of the poor to their marginal position in a class-stratified, highly individualistic, capitalistic society."[2] He won the 1967 U.S. National Book Award in Science, Philosophy and Religion for La Vida; A Puerto Rican Family in the Culture of Poverty.

Diagnóstico de Seis (6) Islas del Caribe Oriental

Fundación para la Capacitación e Investigación Aplicada a la Reforma Agraria & Instituto Nacional de Capacitación Agrícola, Diagnóstico de Seis (6) Islas del Caribe Oriental, Caracas: CIARA & INAGRO, 1981-82.

De la Introducción:

Es interés del Gobierno Venezolano establecer un Programa de Cooperación Internacional con algunas Islas del Caribe Oriental como son: Santa Lucia, Antigua, Montserrat, San Kitts-Nevis, Grenada, y Dominica, a fin de coadyuvar a su desarrollo en el Sector Agrícola, lo cual servirá también para estrechar los vínculos de amistad y de intercambio cultural y comercial. Para sustentar el Programa de Cooperación aludido, se realizó un diagnóstico de cada una de estas Islas, tomando en consideración la información recopilada por la Misión Venezolana que las visitó en noviembre de 1980 y la bibliografía citada. Estos diagnósticos individuales que incluyen datos sobre geografía, economía y sociopolítica de cada una de las Islas, constituirán el instrumento básico para la reflexión sobre la cooperación que les puede proporcionar el gobierno de Venezuela a dichas islas y en particular servirán como base para la formulación del plan de capacitación que se proponen estructurar el CIARA y el INAGRO.

The Dominica Story: A History of the Island

Honychurch, Lennox, The Dominica Story: A History of the Island, Lennox Honychurch, 1975.

Wikipedia:

The Dominica Story: A History of the Island is a history book from 1975, written by famed Dominican historian Lennox Honychurch. Originally presented as a miniseries for Radio Dominica (now DBS Radio) in 1974, the inaugural edition covered every aspect of local history from prehistory up to the then-present (the island's 1967 Associated Statehood). The book's first edition of 18 chapters was an immediate bestseller upon its release. A revised version with 21 chapters was printed in 1984. A commercial edition, this time with 24 chapters and focusing on local events in the 1980s and 1990s, was published in 1995 by the Caribbean imprint of Macmillan.
