Aristide and linguistics

This little news blurb showed up in the google news feed this morning, about Jean-Bertrand Aristide, former prime minister of Haiti now living in South Africa. It includes this:

He has [been] spending time writing on Zulu and Haitian Creole linguistics, as well as on the theology of love.

I didn't remember that he worked on linguistics, actually, but found this little piece on his dissertation.
