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

Lawless, Robert, (compiler) Bibliography on Haiti: English and Creole Items, Paper # 6, Gainesville Fla.: Center for Latin American Studies, June 1985.

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.
