Extractions: The university is located within the United States-Mexican borderlands region currently undergoing significant sociocultural, economic, and demographic change. This complex of changes has had much favorable impact but has also simultaneously produced a multiplicity of social problems along the entire length of the borderlands region. The Southwest Borderlands Cultural Studies and Research Center is committed to the practical investigation of those problems and to the development of specialized courses of study which focus on the area, its residents, and its student body. The center also functions to promote research on ethnic minorities in the Southwest, to document existing course work on ethnic minorities, and to coordinate the establishment of new courses having special appeal to interested people with the various departments. Minors The center offers minors in both of its component areas, Mexican American Studies and Southwest Borderlands Studies, in conjunction with the Departments of Geosciences, History, Language and Literature, Political Science, Psychology and Sociology, and the Colleges of Agriculture and Human Sciences, Business Administration, and Engineering.

Extractions: By Liza Gross These remarks were taken from a speech on Press Freedom in the 21st. Century given by Liza Gross at a conference held by The Robert R. McCormick Tribune Foundation on June 8 in Antigua, Guatemala There is an enormous range of size and resources in newspapers in Latin America. of Argentina, with 700,000 circulation daily and over a million on Sundays, is the largest Spanish language daily in the world. Folha de Sao Paulo sells 650,000 daily and 1.2 million on Sundays. These papers, for example, are much larger than many U.S. papers and belong to corporate holdings much vaster than many U.S. newspaper chains. These newsrooms have much more in common with U.S. newsrooms from the standpoint of resources, the way they operate and their approach to business than with newsrooms in their own countries. But Latin America also has newspapers like the multilingual El Regional , a Guatemalan weekly published in Spanish and five Maya languages. Most of the staffers in this paper barely completed primary schooling, and most, though not all, are Maya.

http://www.ncrel.org/sdrs/areas/issues/content/cntareas/reading/li4lk26.htm

Extractions: Temple, Martinez, Yokota, and Naylor (1998) offer the following criteria for evaluating multicultural children's books and stories: Do the author and illustrator present insider perspectives? The author should maintain an insider's mind-set and point of view when writing about a cultural group in order to portray it authentically. ... Illustrations should be accurate, true to the time period portrayed, and culturally authentic. They must not stereotype, homogenize, or ridicule any cultural group. Racial groups should be depicted with a variety of physical features that are not overemphasized. Illustrations play a major role in transmitting cultural images, especially in picture books. Often, a book's cover illustration sends an immediate message about the book's perspective." (pp. 101-102) Is the culture portrayed multidimensionally? Cultural groups should be presented multidimensioally in order to help readers realize the depth and breadth of experiences within cultures. ... Cultural groups should not be presented through images that could lead to stereotyping." (p. 102) Are cultural details naturally integrated?

http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/world/awards2003/latinlinks.shtml

Extractions: If there's one thing this year's four nominees for the Americas section have in common, it's the issue of identity. All of them have used music as a kind of psychic divining-rod in their respective quests to uncover more about their roots. And in turn, they make music which echoes this search, conveying a vivid sense of place. In a post-colonial world where globalisation and cultural homogenisation are steadily increasing, music that does this has more and more appeal to audiences looking for alternatives to bland manufactured corporate McMusic. Paradoxically, that doesn't mean these artists are oblivious to foreign influences. Quite the opposite. Los de Abajo's music has an almost schizoid quality, combining aspects of Mexican roots with internationally popular styles like ska, reggae and rock. This mix-and-match approach is typical of many twentysomething artists the length and breadth of Latin America, and their drummer Yocu Arrellano explains it thus: 'Maybe because we are looking for something, you know, maybe because Mexicans and Latin Americans, we don't have a strong nationality or a strong identity. I don't know what I am. I am half Spain, half from Mexico. So we are just looking. I think the Mexicans, we have a tradition of no nationality, of we don't know about who we are and for centuries ago, and the music of course (reflects) this thirst.'

Extractions: E. Bradford Burns This course offers students the opportunity to experience Latin America through film and to analyze that experience through the written word and discussion. The filmic content of the course is augmented by a beginning exploration of Latin American images in art, poetry, literature and popular culture, as expressed by North Americans, Latin Americans, and immigrants from Latin America. These images are placed in the context of current events in Latin America, and of a critical analysis of North American coverage of those events. The result is an effective introduction to the human condition in Latin America, and a critical look at our images of that region. LAS 102: Latin American Study Tour 3 credits Prerequisites: none Transferability: SFU This course offers students an introduction to a specific Latin American nation by means of a study tour. It is a one-semester course of independent study with a 3-4 week study tour experience. The field experience will be augmented by lecture and discussion. Independent study prior to leaving and upon return to B.C. will help to create an exciting learning experience for all involved. LAS 110:

Extractions: Latin American Studies affect the everyday lives of K-State students, a speaker for Hispanic Heritage Month said Tuesday. "Kansas, for those of you who are not familiar, used to be a border state with Mexico. Now Mexico seems so far away,"said Marcial Antonio Riquelme, associate professor of sociology and director of the Latin American Studies Program. "Four percent of Kansas is Spanish, with Dodge City and Garden City having the highest concentrated populations." Riquelme discussed the definition of the Latin American region and the word Hispanic to a group of more than 40 people. He defined countries south of the Rio Grande River and the Caribbean as the area of study for Latin American secondary majors. "The word Hispanic, which is a census category, pertains to people from Spanish-speaking countries and excludes Haitians which speak French and Brazil, whose native language is Portuguese," Riquelme said. "The term Hispanic is less inclusive than the term Latin Americans." About 49 percent of all students learning a foreign language in North America choose to study Spanish, Riquelme said.

Extractions: HIST 1010 4 credits World History 2 (4 lec) This course is a survey of modern world history from the rise of Europe to the present era, and of how the globe was linked through cultural, racial, religious contact and clash, migration industrialization, and imperialism. Students will examine how technological, economic, social, religious, political and cross cultural factors combined to influence the expansion of the West and, in turn, the development of Africa, Latin America, and Asia. Both global and interdisciplinary perspectives will be used to help students develop a better understanding of how different peoples understood, construed and developed their place in the modern world; how different regions of the world influenced each other in their response to the West; and why there were both similarities and differences in the ways people both accommodated and resisted western domination.

Love Without Frontiers

http://www.depauw.edu/univ/international/eye/love.htm

Extractions: by Samantha Belstock Students planning to study abroad often have visions of ancient ruins, brilliant cathedrals and alluring beaches, and sometimes even a hint of hope for foreign romance. Not wanting to jinx their fate, no one talks about this desire tucked away in the back of their mind. But the possibility is there, as DePauw professors will tell. Romance Language Professor Maria Luque-Eckrich met her American husband while she was studying abroad at Ohio State University. Originally from Bogota, Columbia, she never planned on moving to the United States. "We met at the library," Professor Luque-Eckrich said. "Everyone says you only meet people in the bars, but the library!" Professor Luque-Eckrich loves Greencastle's friendly community, but it's an entirely different place compared to the "big city" where she grew up. She explained how Americans tend to be more independent than Latin Americans. In the U.S., for example, college students study away from home, and married couples frequently move far away from their families. There are the annual holidays visits, or Thanksgiving dinners, but it's very different from Latin American culture where family is everything.
