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.
