PBS documentary on Argentina's disappeared

A recent film about Argentina's disappeared during the military dictatorship will air on PBS on September 21. Our Disappeared follows director Juan Mandelbaum's personal investigation into the fates of friends and loved ones who were among those tortured, killed, and "disappeared" by the Argentine military during the 1976-1983 dictatorship.

LASA 2010 LAPIS panel proposals

Please take a look at the LASA 2010 LAPIS panel proposals discussion on this site. We are trying to coordinate individual paper proposals into full panel proposals, which will have a higher acceptance rate. Even if you only have an idea for a paper, please post that, along with a brief topic tag. Hopefully, we can organically put together panels/roundtables.

JPLA's inaugural issue (1/2009)

We have (as a section) in the past discussed the need for an institutions-focused journal for Latin America. The Journal of Politics in Latin America (JPLA), recently launched by Hamburg's GIGA-ILAS is such a journal. I encourage all of you to submit articles, research notes, or review articles to what promises to be an interesting and useful new journal. The se… Continue
