You should also read about Liborio, an early twentieth century peasant from the San Juan de la Maguana area of the Dominican Republic who many rural Dominican farmers in the area still believe was a second coming of Christ. He ran a commune in a town called Maguana Arriba north of San Juan, but ran into trouble with the Americans when they occupied the country and was shot to death by them. A wild rumor swept the entire San Juan area immediately afterward that Liborio had risen from the dead, and the Americans quelled it by digging up his body driving it around the streets of San Juan in the back of a truck and displaying it in San Juan's Parque Central.

There's a great book called "Great Power of God in San Juan Valley" that is all about Liborio, but its published in Sweden and is expensive. You can order it through either amazon.com or barnesandnoble.com -- I forget which -- but it costs around $40 and takes a couple of months to get. It's worth it though -- a terrific book and there's little reliable information on Liborio available in book form elsewhere.
