(This property requirement, of course, excluded indentured servants and slaves.) Generous land grants, religious freedom, and self-government attracted numerous settlers to the colony.

Women produced food, manufactured goods, and provided health-care and instruction for their households.
Extractions: Dallas, Texas U.S. Ambassador Bill Richardson today stressed the importance of education and foreign policy to a group of Hispanic Americans meeting in Dallas, Texas. In an address to the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), the largest and oldest Hispanic organization in the country, Ambassador Richardson said with today's growing global economy, education and a better understanding of foreign affairs will be critical requirements for today's young people. The U.S. Ambassador the United Nations said that part of the focus on education must also include particular attention to a strong and committed Hispanic role in international affairs. Ambassador Richardson believes Latinos are in a perfect position to participate in international affairs, both throughout Latin America and in other locations around the world.

Extractions: One has to feel somewhat sorry for South African President Thabo Mbeki, who was heckled and jeered by AIDS activists while giving a speech at the University of Glasgow this past week. Mbeki has had the unenviable task of following in the footsteps of Nelson Mandela, and his presidency has suffered for it. While Mandela stands as a symbol of the new, racially integrated South Africa, it has been left to Mbeki to deal with the country's weak economy, rampant lawlessness, and, perhaps most challenging of all, the AIDS epidemic. Regarding the deadly disease, Mbeki has taken a series of missteps that have earned him the scorn of activists and health professionals. Most famously, he has questioned whether or not HIV causes AIDS.

Extractions: by Richard Jackson The interplay of influences among African-American men and women of letters and people of the Afro-Hispanic world reveals the international dimension of their literatures. Affinities among these writers have their source in Africa and the common new world experiences of slavery, racism, and colonialism. In this study, the author begins by examining the influence of Africa and Spain upon the literatures of African Americans and Latin Americans. He explores the reciprocal exchange of influences among artists of African descent in the United States and in Latin Americafrom established writers to a new generation of writers, including women. Among those writers are Richard Wright, Paule Marshall, Henry Dumas, Nicolas Guillen, Nelson Estupinan Bass, and Nancy Morjon. Notable are the literary influences and wide travels of Langston Hughes in the 1920s. The breadth of the cross-cultural comparisons provided in this volume makes it the most comprehensive source available on African-ancestored literature in the Americas. This is excellent reading for those interested in diaspora studies. Richard Jackson is professor, Department of Spanish, Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. Dr. Jackson received a Research Achievement Award from Carleton that allowed him to complete the work on this volume. He is a founder of the

Extractions: Phillip Wearne reports from the Americas. NATIONALISM In Ecuador tens of thousands of Indians block roads and refuse to supply city markets, shutting down the country for a week. Historically, indigenous people are the pure-blooded descendants of the original inhabitants of the Americas. But few would accept a racial definition today. Many pure-blood Indians deny their origins to speed their assimilation and to blunt fierce racism. Millions of indigenous people now live in towns and cities: hundreds of thousands are completely bi- or even tri-lingual; tens of thousands have university degrees and professional jobs. Go into any indigenous-rights organization office in Lima, La Paz, São Paulo, Quito or Guatemala City today and you will hear or even see Quichua, Aymara, Tukano or Kaqchikel on the mobile phones, short-wave radios, faxes and videos. mestizos mestizo Bolivian aid-agency worker. Thus land is also identity, and inheritance of land makes the vital link to ancestors whose spirits dictate so many customs and traditions. Land is the home of the most important indigenous god. Cultivating the land is, for the traditional Indian, the most profound communion with god she or he can aspire to. SEAN SPRAGUE / PANOS Throughout the Amazon Basin indigenous guards now patrol the frontiers of huge tracts on foot, by canoe or in four-wheel-drive vehicles. Many carry short-wave radios linking them to the nearest village where faxes, computer networks and telephones can alert local and international support networks.

Extractions: fuels Latin "jet gap" fears After Peru bought 12 Belarussian MiG-29s last year, the State Department expressed concern that the purchase could provoke a Latin American arms race. But as it turned out, the MiGs didn't work. With the Belarussians unable to fix them, and the Russians unwilling to work on them without a hefty fee, they are likely to remain grounded for some time. Despite the State Department's hand-wringing about Russian jets in Latin America, the Clinton administration announced August 1, in classic do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do style, that it would lift a two-decade ban on selling high-tech weapons to the region. Chile, which has a strong interest in American F-16s, may be the first to take advantage of the new policy. The aerospace industry seems cheered that their lobbying efforts and PAC contributions have paid off once againin this case helping them gain access to the potentially lucrative Latin American market. Aerospace Industries Association president Don Fuqua said that the industry was "very pleased" with the decision. The new policy, he added, would help the United States achieve more political leverage, as well as "other goals for the region"an industry euphemism for a larger slice of the region's estimated $7 billion in future combat aircraft orders.

Extractions: When examining the psyche of original people, we find that they (the majority) have been taken from their original nature and taught to think other than their own selves. This way of thinking is the effect of Yakub's rules and regulations, which has caused us to think we are all different, thus separating the shades through marital and breeding preferences: both of which are results of conscious and more importantly, subconscious grafting (Eugenics). It is visible all over the world, especially in the Caribbean island and the lands of Latin America. In Puerto Rico it is popular to be light. As it can be seen on TV, lighter skinned boricuas are shown as the dominate majority. Ideas of Desi Arnez (and a more contemporary Ricky Martin) are the view of what a "true" Latino looks like. I can say that when I went to visit my physical father in Adjuntas, PR. a couple years ago, most of the boricuas I seen were mainly wisdom seeds or darker. Many/most of the darker skinned Puerto Ricans are disregarded and simply silenced under the false idea of "nationalism". There are many notable figures in Latin American history. One of those being Juan Garrido, the first "black" man to touch shores of Puerto Rico in 1509. He was also the first to bring wheat to Mexico. Others include Rafeal Cordero and Arturo Alfonso Schomburg.

Extractions: outside the Pembroke Pines City Hall. South Florida, defined for decades by waves of immigrating Cubans, is increasingly becoming a miniature Latin America, with a diverse cast of Central and South Americans taking up residence in record numbers. U.S. Census figures released today pinpointing for the first time since 1990 the exact size of each Hispanic group show that non-Cuban Hispanics in Miami-Dade County are now equal in number to those with Cuban ancestry. ``The other Hispanic groups have discovered Miami,'' said demographer Thomas Boswell, an expert in Hispanic immigration at the University of Miami. ``They see it as a very attractive place for many of the same reasons as Cubans traditionally have.'' NUMBERS SWELLING It's a statistical sea change for Miami-Dade, triggered by figures such as these: 16,000 more Colombians, nearly 13,000 more Dominicans, almost 9,000 more Hondurans and a whopping 161,000 new residents classifying themselves as ``other Hispanic.'' The numbers are almost certainly higher. They do not include untold thousands of Colombians and others who have fled instability and natural disasters in their countries since the 2000 Census. And critics of the count say even Hispanics who were in South Florida at the time of the survey weren't fully counted.

Extractions: The victory of Alvaro Uribe in Colombia's presidential election has generated a heated debate in the Latin American press. While some newspapers welcome his pledge to take a hardline approach to the country's seemingly intractable guerrilla war, others warn that increased militarisation will harm Colombia even more. Clarin "The new administration will back a militarisation of society as a solution to violence that claims over 30,000 lives every year," says the leading Argentine daily Clarin "Colombia wants to put an end to the war with more war." Failure Clarin warns that Mr Uribe's plans to turn neighbourhood groups into "virtual vigilantes" would exacerbate the situation and bring many more people into the fray.

Extractions: March 19, 1997 Greetings. It is a pleasure to be here with you today to discuss the importance of Latin America to U.S. Business. Before I begin my formal remarks, I would like to take a few moments to tell you about the Council of the Americas. Specifically, I want to focus on our past history, our present activities, and our future goals. The Council is the leading U.S. business organization dedicated to promoting regional economic integration, free trade and investment, open markets and the rule of law throughout the Western Hemisphere. We were founded in 1963 by David Rockefeller and a group of like-minded business leaders who felt strongly that the future prosperity of the hemisphere depended on the triumph of liberal economic principles (free trade, private investment, property rights) over the statist and nationalist ideologies which enjoyed currency following the Cuban revolution. The Council's founders thus established a forum for political leaders from the region to convene with private sector leaders from North America to discuss critical economic, political, and business issues facing the hemisphere.
