Acknowledgements
My research for this study was conducted largely in the Main Library,
University of the West Indies, Cave Hill, and the Benson Latin American
Collection, University of Texas at Austin. I wish to thank the staff of these
institutions, whose courtesy and willingness to assist me in locating information
made my task much easier than it might have been. I also wish to
thank Dr Pedro Welch of the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill, for
reading the manuscript of this work and making valuable suggestions for
improving it.
