Hello. I want to tell you all about a website I just constructed on Haitian Rara: http://rara.wesleyan.edu/

This website features video clips, still photos, and audio clips that were impossible to publish in my book on Rara festivals in Haiti--but which may be useful in teaching or in research.

The site includes the 15-minute documentary by Verna Gillis on Rara in Haiti in the 1970s, as well as photos by Chantal Regnault and Syndey Byrd, and clips of a new film on Rara in Brooklyn by Jeremy Robins and Magali Damas.

Yours,
Liza McAlister
