Extractions: INGRID E. FEY and KAREN RACINE (eds.): Strange Pilgrimages: Exile, Travel, and National Identity in Latin America, 1800-1900s. Wilmington, DE: SR Books, 2000. Those who have spent a substantial amount of time outside of their homelands know that living abroad can give fresh perspective on one's personal and even national identity. Are those insights gleaned abroad of a purely individual nature, or do they in their recorded forms hold promise for the scholarly study of national identity formation? The editors and authors of Strange Pilgrimages: Exile, Travel, and National Identity in Latin America, 1880-1900s answer that question in the affirmative. The volume, a collection of fourteen essays and three short primary texts about Latin Americans' experience abroad, aims to provide "case studies not only for intellectual and social historians but also for all people concerned with the issue of national identity formation"(xi). The book also includes a short but useful bibliography and filmography. The appearance of this book appears timely, given the growing academic focus on transnationalism, which includes the movement of people, capital, and ideas across borders and oceans. The editors rightly point out that while historians are familiar with the travel experiences of North Atlantic explorers, scientists, capitalists, and writers in Latin America, rarely have we plumbed the vast body of literature recounting Latin Americans' extensive journeys abroad. There exist rich accounts of Latin American political exiles, students, artists, and adventurers who lived in Europe and North America for periods spanning a few months to decades. Their diaries, novels, travel stories, and oral accounts contain valuable insights into the lives of those individuals many of whom returned to their countries of origin and took on influential roles in politics, literature, and society as well as their changing ideas about Latin America and its place in the world system.

Source: Marketing Developments E conomic stabilization and favorable demographic trends are just two of the factors pointing to rich opportunities in Latin America for retailers and shopping center developers. That was the message economists and business executives delivered to close to 400 people attending ICSCs 2nd Conference of the Americas in Miami in October. The region is emerging from its economic crisis, led by improving economies in Argentina and Brazil, and it offers huge, untapped long-term prospects, industry insiders said. In particular, the wage-earning segment of the population is growing, and people are moving to urban areas where they are enjoying higher standards of living, said Paulo Rabello de Castro, an economist, professor and consultant with RC Consultants, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. That presents not only a challenge, but an immense opportunity for the shopping center industry, he said. Stanley Eichelbaum, SCMD, president of Marketing Developments, a Cincinnati-based retail consulting firm, said Latin America deserves more attention than it has been receiving from the U.S. retail industry.

Extractions: FESTIVALS: Boomtime for Latin American Cinema: Havana's Year 23 by Hugo Perez (indieWIRE/ 12.18.01) "This is the strongest year for Latin American cinema in the last decade, " said Ivan Giroud , the director of the 23rd Festival of New Latin American Cinema which took place from December 3rd through the 13th in sunny Havana, where the temperature never dropped below 70 degrees and the rum flowed as briskly as the gulfstream on the back terrace of the Hotel Nacional . "Usually, American films generate the most excitement, and this year we've seen a kind of enthusiasm and excitement for Latin American Cinema from our audiences that we have not seen in recent years," added Giroud. Habaneros are avid, and at times, fanatic filmgoers (this year's ten-day tally of attendance reached 610,000), and every year one or two near riots engulf screenings of the most in-demand films. Cuban cinephiles came close to storming through the front doors of the

El Salvador out of the country, taking many people to cities Hardworking Salvadorans have hada notable impact on American community, and even among latin americans it is http://www.lafi.org/magazine/articles/salvador.html
Extractions: El Salvador, the smallest country on the American mainland, came to be known in the U.S. during the fierce civil war of the 1980s, in which the U.S. was a major participant through its sponsorship of the Army and allied political parties. The war drove a sizable part of the population out of the country, taking many people to cities like Houston, Los Angeles, and Washington. Hard-working Salvadorans have had a notable impact on these cities. Still, Salvadoran music has not reached far outside the Latin American community, and even among Latin Americans it is hardly as well known as the widespread Salvadoran cuisine. A good way to begin to understand it, as is the case with the music of any country, is to know something about the history of the country. El Salvador has not produced a genre that, like reggae, son, merengue, or tango, has found a universal or even broad Latin American reception. The music of El pulgarcito, the Thumbellina of America, has been largely defined by that of larger and more influential countries, from colonial Spain to Mexico and the U.S. The coming of globalization and mass-market culture, and the current ongoing integration of El Salvador into those trends, foretells a continuation of that history.

A person with Latino heritage means that they are descendants of a family from Mexico, Central America, or South America. The term Hispanic means people who come from a country where Spanish is spoken. Harder Many Latinos in the U.S. are descendants of Mexican people who lived in the Southwest when it was appropriated as spoils of war or purchased in a series of land sales. In many cases, their ancestors became Americans not by their own choice. Almost all other American Latinos or their ancestors migrated here from Latin America.

You are meeting a team two people brought together by their dedication to education and a better understanding of the diversity of American society. They have brought that dedication to Iowa State. Blake, former vice chancellor for undergraduate education and professor of sociology, anthropology and education at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, arrived on campus last month to become the first permanent director of African American studies. Moore, who officially joins the faculty in April, is founding president of Scholars for Educational Excellence and Diversity Inc., an Indianapolis-based organization that provides services to agencies and schools committed to academic excellence for diverse populations. Moore is a professor in the College of Education, with joint appointments in health and human performance and professional studies. Blake and Moore, who met in 1995 while independently consulting at the same university, have built careers in higher education administration and in research on minority groups, both in the United States and abroad.

The following article was reprinted from either the weekly update news bulletin, or is an aritcle which may have appeared in another on-line or print publication written by him . Friday June 30,2000 SWITZERLAND. Mr. Kaspar Villiger, Switzerlands minister of finance, has issued a statement saying that banking secrecy will no longer be a cornerstone of government policy with respect to Swiss Banking. The European Union has asked Switzerland to eliminate Swiss Banking secrecy for accounts held by European citizens before the year 2010. According to the comments now publicly made by the Swiss government, it seems they are in agreement with this. First and foremost, it is important to note that Latin Americans do not hate Americans or Europeans. They very much dislike foreign governments trying to dictate domestic or foreign policy in their own country, but they do not dislike the individual citizens of these countries. Panama has learned first hand, what it means to have a foreign country enter with soldiers and have their own citizens killed. The 1989 US invasion of Panama was most certainly a wake up call to Panama itself, and the rest of Latin America. One may argue that such a leader (Noriega) was a bad guy, and Panama has prospered greatly since his demise. However, what right does one country have to enter another and in effect kidnap the leader of that country because they disagree with him (or her). What kind of message does that send? To add insult to injury, what does it say when those same troops end up shooting at some of the local population that supported such an action?

A tradition of friendliness and openness developed that visitors from abroad noticed even 200 years ago. This is one of the first things that international visitors recognize in America. It can be confusing to people from other countries, as friendliness cannot be confused with true friendship. In the United States, as anywhere else, true friendships take time to develop, and you will probably have as many close friends here as you did at home. Most Americans have many acquaintances but relatively few close friends. Once an American becomes your friend, it is a strong friendship. However, don't mistake superficial friendliness for real friendship so you will not be disappointed. Americans are informal about making friends. Do not wait for formal introductions.

Extractions: Diego Cevallos* MEXICO CITY, Dec 5 (IPS) - A rising number of Latin Americans with HIV/AIDS are receiving government support, giving them access to decent health services to combat the disease, but there is a long way to go to achieve universal coverage for these patients. Hugo Estrada, 43, has been HIV-positive for the last five years and says he is content with his life. He has access to medications, timely medical treatment and psychological support. Furthermore, he receives a disability pension and has a very supportive family. Estrada's case might be considered normal in an industrialised country, but in Latin America, where there are 1.4 million people with HIV/AIDS - 130,000 who became infected this year - he is the exception. "I am among the privileged," acknowledges Estrada. His good fortune, he says, is linked to having state social security benefits and a university education, but is largely due to his leadership in the Mexican organisation known as the National Front of People with HIV/AIDS. "I can't think about a future in the long term, but with the time I have left and the prospects for new medications, I will always put up a fight," he says. Activists defending the rights of people who are HIV-positive recognise that notable progress has been made in Latin America as far as access to medical attention. This is closely related to the discovery of new drugs, particularly the antiretrovirals that have transformed AIDS from a killer into a chronic disease because they destroy HIV or prevent the virus from multiplying.
