My thanks to Ann de León for her exemplary work as chair (2014-2015) and to Clayton McCarl for serving as acting chair during the 2015 convention in Puerto Rico. The executive committee for 2015-2016 are: Mónica Díaz (vice-chair and chair of awards committee), Pablo García Loaeza (council member and secretary/treasurer), and Kelly McDonough and Ann de León (council members). The editorial staff for this newsletter are Pablo García Loaeza and Clayton McCarl, (co-editors); Alejandro Enríquez (assistant editor); Claudia Berríos, Chloe Ireton, and Mariana Velázquez (graduate student assistant editors); and Rocío Quispe-Agnoli (editorial advisor). I would like to thank them for their wonderful job. I would also like to extend my gratitude to Nathan James Gordon, University of Colorado Boulder, who coordinates our use of social media, and Caroline Egan, Stanford University, who manages our membership information and e-mail list. I am happy to report that three new scholarly venues have been created since 2014 to recognize the work in our field: the Maureen Ahern Doctoral Dissertation Award in Colonial Latin American Studies (first awarded 2014); the prize for the Best Article in Colonial Latin American Studies by a Junior Scholar (first awarded 2015); and the Book Prize of the Colonial Section of the Latin American Studies Association (to be awarded in 2016; see call for nominations in this issue). I thank you for your financial support of these awards, which are vital to the graduate students and junior colleagues in the early stages of the profession. I would like to ask all members to continue to contribute. To do so, you may send a check in any amount to LASA, 416 Bellefield Hall, University of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh, PA 15260, with “Colonial Section’s Awards Fund” on the memo line. I am looking forward to working with all the section members on any idea or project they want to share with us. Sincerely, Raúl Marrero-Fente _____________________________________________________________________________________________ Colonia/Colônia 3:4 November 2015, p. 2 Note from the Outgoing Editor This current issue of Colonia/Colônia marks the end of my tenure as general editor. With great pleasure, I hand over the editorship to Pablo García Loaeza. Pablo has played a central role in this newsletter from the beginning and has co-edited with me issues 3:3 and 3:4. I know that he will provide the leadership and creativity needed to make this publication an increasingly important forum for sharing ideas and promoting an interdisciplinary dialogue about the Latin American colonial world. For the time being, I will continue as the communications manager of the section. In this role I will work with Nathan James Gordon and Caroline Egan, who manage our social media and our email communications, respectively. In parting, I would like to extend my thanks to Pablo, Alejandro Enríquez, Rocío Quispe-Agnoli, Claudia Berríos, Chloe Ireton, and Mariana Velázquez for all they have done to make this newsletter a success. I would like to celebrate in particular the work being done on behalf of the Colonial Section by Caroline, Chloe, Claudia, Mariana and Nathan. They are all graduate students, and their energy, talent and enthusiasm speak very well for our group and the future of our field.

Documentación judicial por carta de libertad y papel de venta. Santiago: Editorial Universitaria. La esclavitud africana en la Capitanía General de Chile ha conocido un renovado interés en la historiografía chilena durante la última década. No obstante, quedan múltiples interrogantes por responder, así como una serie de temas y documentación por explorar. Una forma de acercarnos a lo anterior es recurrir a los testimonios de justicia de personas esclavizadas. Estos se encuentran en la documentación judicial conservada por el Archivo Nacional Histórico de Chile. En este volumen se han transcrito 50 autos de pedimento, pleitos o demandas por carta de libertad y papel de venta elevados ante foros de justicia de Santiago. More information.

  • Interview with Davi Kopenawa Yanomami Talk Between Davi
    Interview with Davi Kopenawa Yanomami Talk between Davi Kopenawa Yanomami (DY) and Terence Turner (TT) in Boa Vista, March 1991. Transcribed by Bruce Albert and translated into English by T. Turner. PART ONE: AN APPEAL FOR SUPPORT DY: I want to send my message, this message, to our friends, the other indigenous peoples, and to our white friends too, those who stand by our side, who support us. I want to communicate my news and my message, my feelings and my needs. My full name is Davi Kopenaua Yanomami. The village I live in is called Watoriketheri. It is in the Mountains of the Wind. My Yanomami people know, they see what is happening to our community, and they see what is happening to our relatives in other communities. They are terrified of the miners, by the [polluted] rivers. The miners invaded our reserve and came to our communities feigning friendship; they lied to us, they tricked us Indians, and we were taken in. Then their numbers grew; many more arrived, and they began bringing in machinery that polluted the river. The pollution killed the fish and the shrimp, everything that lived in our rivers. I am trying to help, no not trying, I am helping my people. At first I didn't know Portuguese, but I learned to speak it to be able to protest to the Brazilian government, to all authorities. I am travelling among my people to tell them of my work: to Tootobi, Araca, Ajuricaba and Catrimani. I am very sorry not ot have been able to travel to other commuities because they are so far away, and hard to reach from where I have been.

THE PROMISE OF A POLICY-ORIENTED PERSPECTIVE LatCrit, as I understand it, stands in a great tradition. With Ameri- can Legal Realism, it shares the focus on the empirical rather than the normative. Transcending, however, the Realist emphasis on analysis, and harnessing the sensitivities of the outsider, the LatCrit movement has formed around a powerful policy objective: the goal of overcoming structures of oppression and patterns of injustice encountered by Latinas/os in the United States and beyond. LatCrit theory is, as Frank Valdes has explained, "embryonic."' It attempts to produce critical knowledge, create material social change, and build coalitions as well as scholarly community. Beyond those activities, LatCrit is "a project perpetually under construction, but one whose construction .

  • Relatorio Da Comissao Especial Da Associacao Americana De Antropologia Sobre a Situacao Dos Yanomami Do Brasil Realizado Por: Te
    Relatorio da Comissao Especial da Associacao Americana de Antropologia Sobre a Situacao dos Yanomami do Brasil Realizado por: Terry Turner (presidente), Bruce Albert, Jason Clay, Alcida Ramos, Stephan Schwartzman, Anthony Seeger (membros da conselho), Claudia Andujar, Manuela Carneiro da Cunha, Davi Kopenawa Yanomami (assessores). Com base neste relatorio, a Associacao Americana de Antropologia determinou seu plano de acao com relacao a situacao Yanomami no encontro realizado em Washington, D.C., em 12 de maio de 1991. I. INTRODUCAO: O ENVOLVIMENTO DA ASSOCIACAO. A Associacao Americana de Antropologia e uma organizacao de pesquisadores, professores e profissionais envolvidos com cultura e diferencas culturais. A capacidade de um grupo de definir seus significados e valores culturais e de viver de acordo com eles constitui um direito humano fundamental. Quando os direitos legais e sociais de um povo ou a sua auto-definicao em termos culturais lhes sao negados; quando o modo de vida deste povo ou mesmo sua existencia fisica sao ameacados em funcao de diferencas culturais, esta associacao passa a ter preocupacoes legitimas e se ve no dever de se manifestar contra tais abusos, onde quer que estes ocorram. Agindo de acordo com tal principio, esta associacao tem manifestado repetidas vezes sua preocupacao diante das tentativas do Governo Federal brasileiro de se isentar da responsabilidade de protecao do bem-estar, das terras e recursos, e da integridade social de suas nacoes indigenas, e de implementar medidas economicas, politicas e militares incompativeis com estas responsabilidades (AAA resolucoes 1970, 1978, 1979a). Recentemente, o interesse desta associacao na questao do tratamento dado aos povos indigenas do Brasil, tem se voltado mais e mais para o drama dos Yanomami, habitantes do estado de Roraima e do norte do estado do Amazonas (AAA resolucoes 1979b; AAA 1990a, carta do Fundo de Defesa do Meio-Ambiente a Sub-Secretaria de Estado para Questoes da America Latina; AAA 1990b, carta resumo ao presidente Bush).
