Latin America: Introduction S.Meier, M., Serri, CF, Garcia, RA (1997). notable latino americans A bibliographicaldictionary. latin American Immigration to the United States. http://www.fas.harvard.edu/~gstudies/latin/curriculum/intro.htm
Extractions: Today, Latin Americans are the largest immigrant group in the United States. During the 1980s eight million immigrants came from Latin America, nearly equal to the total figure of European immigrants who came to the U.S. during the first decade of the 20th century. ( ) According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are an estimated 31 million Latinos in the United States, comprising about 11.2 percent of the total population. Immigration from Latin America has become the most significant immigration spread during the second half of the twentieth century with immigrants coming from all over the continent: "Of the top ten "sender" countries in the last decade, four are Latin American and Caribbean: Mexico, the Dominican Republic, Cuba and Jamaica; in the next ten are Haiti, El Salvador, Colombia and Peru". ( The goal of this website is to provide information about Latin American and Caribbean immigration to teachers and students in the U.S. studying the different immigrant groups. Further it would help them understand better the causes of Mexican immigration which is the largest immigrant group to the U.S. Three major sources document the demographic trends of immigrants to the United States: the Annual Statistical Yearbook of the Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) the Annual Statistical Abstract of the United States

Extractions: Alternative mediation Stephen Jones, professor of Russian and Eurasian studies, has just returned from a four-day conference in Switzerland devoted to discussing possible alternatives to traditional conflict resolution in five areas of current United Nations concern: East Timor, Kosovo, Burundi, Sudan, and Georgia. Funded by UNITAR (United Nations Institute for Teaching and Research) and the Swiss government, the conference brought together twenty-five or so academics and senior UN and diplomatic personnel, as well as a number of ex-ambassadors who had served as special envoys in various mediation attempts by the UN. According to Jones, an authority on Georgia and other former Soviet republics, "It was an extremely fruitful seminar where we got down to nitty-gritty issues of how enemies could be brought to the table and how we could entice them to stay there."

CLP In Latin America this way, I think this finding is notable. students about their attitudes towardpeople with Communication They found that latin americans were more likely http://web.nmsu.edu/~lleeper/pages/CLPLtnAm/
Extractions: Latin America represents many different nationalities as well as racial backgrounds. Latin America is made up of Indigenous, Spanish (Caucasian), Black, as well as other ethnicities. Each country has its own beliefs and history. For this reason, all generalizations made about Latin Americans should be taken with this in mind. Did you know that the president of Peru is of Japanese descent? The countries of Latin America are mostly rural, low socio-economic areas. This has certain implications for treatment which will be discussed later. This is what Latin America looks like topographically: Since Latin America is a mostly underdeveloped area, there is little opportunity for intervention of CLP for the masses. There are, however, efforts by organizations in the United States to intervene in Latin America as well as other underdeveloped areas. One organization specifically is Austin Smiles. Austin Smiles is a group of US health care workers helping people in El Salvador. Three times a year, children with defects who are found by El Salvadorian soldiers are transported to a military hospital, where the visiting team of US doctors, nurses, and anesthesiologists have set up shop to volunteer their talents. Hundreds of other children with defects are brought by their parents or relatives, who usually catch wind of the doctors' arrival through radio, television, and newspaper reports. A spokesperson for Austin Smiles said about 60% of the plastic surgeons in the Central Texas area volunteer with the group. Many of the volunteers, such as nurses, are bilingual, since few of the doctors speak fluent Spanish.

As you saw yesterday, Mexican-Americans have brought energy, vitality and excitement to our city, especially to neighborhoods such as Pilsen, Little Village and Back of the Yards. They also have brought strong family values, a work ethic and a deep commitment to education. The Mexican-American community in Chicago stands four-square behind our efforts to make our public school system the best in the nation. Chicago was built by immigrants, and each new group whether from Europe, Latin America or Asia has made its distinctive contribution to the economic, social and cultural life of our city.

Extractions: 26 October 1996 Good evening. I am delighted to be with you tonight. I confess that I leap at any chance to get outside the beltway, and Clearwater is as good a field trip as a government worker can hope to get. But I also must tell you that I take special pleasure in meeting with Agency retirees¾this is my fourth such encounter in the past year. Your generation of intelligence officers achieved more in the defense of freedom than any of your forebears anywhere in the world at any time in history. Rubbing shoulders with you is, to say the least, energizing for those of us trying to carry on the traditions of a demanding but unheralded profession that you made honorable and indispensable to the preservation of our great democracy. And, let's face it, you retirees always manage to recover that sense of humor and perspective that you lost in your last couple of assignments at Headquarters. I assure you that you throw much better parties than the crowd you left behind in Langley. And, as always when I mix it up with Agency veterans, I will go home encouraged by how deeply you all still care about CIA¾its challenging future as well as its heroic past.

Latin America, and particularly host-country Brazil, is playing a leading role in this second annual gathering of independent and non-governmental entities, an event born in January 2001 as a counterweight to the World Economic Forum, a yearly meeting in which the worlds most powerful politicians and business executives set the world economic agenda. At the first World Social Forum, 18,000 people from 117 countries participated, including delegates from non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and participants in the Youth Camp and the Indigenous Nations Camp. This year, more than 50,000 people are converging on Porto Alegre, convened under the motto, another world is possible.
