ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
I would like to give thanks to Dr. Silvio Torres-Saillant, my intellectual
guide and mentor, who has supported and encouraged me since long
before this project was conceived. Dr. Torres-Saillant’s conversations and
writings helped me discover the heart of the Dominican community in the
home country and in the diaspora. Without his support, the completion of
this project would have been impossible.
I am grateful to Dr. Ramona Hernandez who realistically directed me
to the field of library science and encouraged me to apply to the graduate
program. Many thanks are also due to Dr. Frank Moya Pons whose
enthusiasm about Dominican bibliographies has been contagious. He has
helped me realize that this type of work is extremely important to the
development of a country. Dr. Moya Pons’s help during my research trip
to the Dominican Republic also proved to be invaluable. I acquired many
of the most difficult to find manuscripts at his personal library. I am also
grateful for his wise advice on the places to visit and the people to see
during my stay and for introducing me to Julia Vicioso, great company
and an excellent guide.
I also wish to thank the staff of the CUNY Dominican Studies
Institute, especially Joel Cruz and Roma Francisco, for being there when
I most needed them. Their crucial support gave me the strength to
continue. Thanks is also due to Dr. David Howard, our 1999 Rockefeller
Fellow who provided valuable comments on the final draft of the
manuscript.
