Culture : Haiti

A listing of web sites that provide information about art from Haiti or by Haitians. Art | Dance | Film | Music The most important source for bibliography of books and articles concerning Haiti is the annual Handbook of Latin American Studies (http://lcweb2.loc.gov/hlas/) produced by over 130 contributing editors under the editorship of the Hispanic Division of the Library of Congress. Additional coverage of journal articles can be found through a subscription to the Hispanic American Periodical Index (http://hapi.gseis.ucla.edu/).   Both the Handbook and HAPI are available in selected libraries in book form.   One of the major aggregators for links to a wide variety of subjects relating to Haiti is the University of Texas' LANIC (http://lanic.utexas.edu/la/cb/haiti/). Another site one should especially note is the site prepared by the Law Library of the Library of Congress for legal, political, and general information on their Guide to Law Online (http://www.loc.gov/law/guide/haiti.html).

A croire que dans ce domaine galement, au demeurant d'une vitalit jusque-l des plus prcaires, les Hatiennes, encore une fois, ne feront une entre que mitige, et le pied une fois dans la place, y demeureront, pour longtemps.
