25077: Corbett: Specialty bibliography: Missionaries and church in Haiti
>From Bob Corbett:
Folks, I separate out some books in my library into "specialty"
collections. These include novels, plays and fiction about Haiti written
by foreigners, art books on Haitian art, children's books, and then books
that deal with foreign missionaries.
Yesterday I had a long long list of books one customer wanted to buy from
my list and it included nearly everything that deal with missionaries.
This got me curious about what I have in my own library and what I'm
missing.
Thus I ran a search on "Missionary activities" in my library program and
the program I use (ProCite4 -- a library program) belched out the follow
63 items in my library.
Can any of you add items in the English language to this list? I would
appreciate any help.
Thanks
Bob Corbett

individuals." Point: Voodoo is a cultural phenomenon as much as a
