Latin American Studies Association LATINO STUDIES SECTION [we need a new logo! send graphics to webmaster!] Report of 2006-2007 Co-chairs: LASA 2007 Montreal |
!Bienvenidos! Welcome! The Latino Studies Section and this web page are open to all LASA members and anyone else interested in promoting research, teaching and advocacy on U.S. Latino communities and their trans-national connections to their countries of origin. The Latino Studies Section of LASA, established in 1997, formalizes within the academic community the study of the interactions of the various Latin American populations as they come together in the United States. Rather than focusing on the experience of a single Latino national constituency, the Section promotes the exchange of ideas regarding the interaction among Latino groups as well as their relationships with the U.S. Through our work we hope to foster a continuing dialogue regarding the relationships between Latino Studies and Latin American Studies. This website will help guide you to information about the trans-national populations in the hemisphere, and the impact of their political, economic and socio-cultural activities on the development of the nations of the Americas. Like the building of hemispheric solidarity, this web page is an ongoing collaborative, transnational, political, and cultural project. Please feel free to send us information to contribute toward building bridges throughout the hemisphere. And, of course, we welcome any comments and suggestions on how to improve this website. Remember to re-enroll and pay your section dues! We need your participation in order to develop the Section! |
