- Notes:
- Examines Caribbean representations of race, gender and ethnicity, and how these influenced the labor allocations of female migrant workers in St Maarten's tourism economy. From the late 1970s to the 1990s, thousands of poor women from Haiti and the Dominican Republic worked in the service sector of St Maarten's tourism economy. St Maarten's black population, and especially its male residents, interacted with the migrant women, and created gendered and social-sexual images that privileged the Latina/mulatta women over the black Haitian women. These gendered/racial stereotypes helped to incorporate the Haitian and Dominican women into specific and different labor sectors of the tourism economy.

- Poverty and suffering are nothing new to the brave Haitian people.

They have had to pay ransom money to France because they dared to fight for their freedom.

- "We are very pleased with the project, which will open up a wide range of opportunities to the university," they said. "Further, we believe that the proposed e-campus will have a lasting impact on Haiti's education system as a whole." [Frederick Humphries], now regent pro fessor at Florida A&M, says the effort grew out of his school's drive to collect donations for Haiti right after the January 2010 quake. He led a small delegation to visit the State University last summer, and afterward Humphries and Dr. Arthur Thomas, program manager at Morgan State, phoned a* number of black college presidents. "All of them wanted to help," Humphries says. Leaders of each consortium expressed a willingness to collaborate. "Where we can make common cause, we'll be very happy to do that," Humphries says. Alix Cantave, associate director of the Trotter Institute at UMass Boston, says such cooperation "makes sense."

- "The launch event in March was really successful. Everything came together for a totally perfect night," Laura Quinla, Rhythm Foundation Director said. "What was especially cool was that it was a lot of different kinds of people of all backgrounds and ages having a great time together." "It is important to focus on the wealth of culture that Haiti has great music, art, dance. The culture is so rich. Little Haiti also has a lot of nice experiences to offer the general public," Quinla said. "We are hoping our night grows and encompasses all the artist studios, cultural venues, shops and restaurants in the area. I think it will be something people throughout South Florida will look forward to every month."
