Title: "Gather with the Saints at the River," The Jonestown Guyana Holocaust of 1978: A Descriptive and Interpretative Essay on its Ultimate Meaning from a Caribbean Viewpoint Publication: Río Piedras, Puerto Rico: Institute of Caribbean Studies, 1979 Description: "The Jonestown holocaust offers important lessons for the Caribbean. This essay unravels them, with emphasis on the vent's meaning in the areas of US-Caribbean relationships, American religious penetration of the region, the Caribbean as haven for messianic cultism, Jonestown as a comment on contemporary American society, its significance for Caribbean socialism, the complex relationships between politics and religion, and the rest. It rigorously examines both the positive and negative aspects of the Peoples Temple movement and seeks to determine whether those aspects, both admirable and evil, have anything to teach those varies forces that are pursuing basic social and economic change in the region.
