Jacobo Kovadloff, Founding Member of LAJSA THE BIRTH OF LAJSA Excerpts "om a memoir in progress Judith Laikin Elkin, LAJSA Founder Returning to Albion College in the autumn of 1974 from my extended field trip through Latin America, I retrieved my mothering responsibilities from my husband, and resumed teaching my two-semester sequence in Latin American history, my goal the launching of an academic career based on the dissertation I was about to write. In an unused office the Dean allowed me to occupy at night, I reviewed my notes, gathered my thoughts, wrote steadily, and enjoyed my solitude. I was writing again, as happy as I had not been since kissing Krishna goodbye. I received my Ph.D. in 1976, at about the same time that my mentor, Charles Gibson, was elected president of the American Historical Association and with his recommendation, submitted my dissertation unchanged to the University of Chicago Press (“don’t write a dissertation,” Gibson had said; “write a book.”) He was right: the press accepted Israelita: The Jews of the Latin American Republics immediately, contingent…upon a pro forma reading by an outside critic. A year passed, during which I was assured that my book was on track and would soon receive final approval. The manuscript was returned to me yellowed from exposure, dog-eared, coffee ringed, needing to be retyped in its entirety (manually, at that date) if to was be submitted elsewhere. Israelita had been not only rejected but physically abused. The editor forwarded to me the anonymous peer review, which began: “By way of preliminaries, I am compelled to tell you that I abhor the title ISRAELITA. It sounds like the name of one or more of the Jewish publications in Latin America. Furthermore to the gentile reader, especially in Latin America, it has a pejorative sense to it...It reminds me of all those little Jewish shopkeepers in Costa Rica....” The contempt that Jews have been living with ever since settling in Latin America had transferred itself intact to this North American academic. When I pointed out the evident anti-semitism in the critic’s comment, and suggested that prejudice ought not be the basis for a manuscript’s rejection, the editor defended the reviewer by confiding that he was a Jew.

  • Development Before Democracy: Inter-American Relations in the Long 1950S
    FORUM FOR INTER-AMERICAN RESEARCH (FIAR) VOL. 11.3 (DEC. 2018) 94-109 ISSN: 1867-1519 © forum for inter-american research Development before Democracy: Inter-American Relations in the long 1950s STELLA KREPP (UNIVERSITY OF BERN) Abstract Even though Latin American diplomats had been central actors in the debate surrounding human rights in the nascent years of the United Nations, the predominant preoccupation in the 1950s centred on development. Latin American politicians generally framed development as “social progress,” arguing that political and civil rights were meaningless unless basic needs were met. Nonetheless, this decidedly materialist approach to human rights is complicated when considering how, within months of each other in 1959, both the Inter-American Development Bank and the Inter-American Commission of Human Rights were founded. Looking at debates in the Organization of American States (OAS), this paper relates the fundamentally uneasy relationship between human rights and development in the inter-American system in the 1950s and early 60s. Keywords: Democracy, Latin America, Inter-American Comission of Human Rights 1.

Primarily in the program guidelines of the Strategy and Plan of Action of Epilepsy for the Americas and the general frame of Epilepsy out of the Shadows, we know that every country has its own reality and characteristics, but we are together in wishes and projects in common, especially to improve the quality of life for people with epilepsy and their surroundings.

  • Argentine Artists Win Most Prizes in Unted Hemisphere
    ••••••••••••••••••• 421019 - 67 fHE MUSEUM OF MODERN ART 1t WEST 53RD STREET, NEW YORK TELEPHONE: CIRCLE 3-8900 FQR IMMEDIATE RELEASE ARGENTINE ARTISTS WIN MOST PRIZES IN UNITED HEMISPHERE POSTER COMPETITION Five prizes, the greatest number to go to any of the twenty- Latin American nations in the United Hemisphere Poster Competition held by the Museum of Modern Art, were won by artists of Argentina. Four prizes went to artists of Brazil. An artist of Mexico, D.F. won the first prize of $500. Two women, both of Havana, received the two prizes that went to Cuba. The other prize winners in the Latin American Section of the Competition are artists of Chile, Guatemala and Uruguay. A total of 855 posters was received in the Competition, 473 of which came from Latin American countries. The quality of the entries was exceedingly high, which made it difficult for the Judges to narrow the choice down to the thirty-four prize winners. In addition to the prize winners 19 posters that received honorable mention will be hung in an exhibition opening at the Museum of Modern Art Wednesday, October 21. The exhibition will be sent on a tour throughout the Hemisphere after it closes at the Museum and the de­ signs will be placed at the disposal of agencies' of the United States Government for reproduction and use in the Americas. A complete catalog of the exhibition, illustrated with reproductions of the winning posters, will be published later with text in English, Spanish and Portuguese. Monroe Wheeler, Director of Exhibition^ for the Museum, commented on the Competition as follows: "All citizens of the Western Hemisphere may take pride in the way the artists of the American Republics have answered this challenge to produce posters showing their united determination to remain free.

Argentina and the United States at the Sixth Pan American Conference (Havana 1928) I - Introduction In 1928, at the Sixth Pan American Conference (Sixth Conference of American States) in Havana, Argentine delegation chief Honorio Pueyrredon boldly challenged United States military intervention in Latin America and, in a lesser criticism, opposed high US tariff barriers. On 4 February, during a meeting of the conference Committee on Public International Law, Pueyrredon introduced for the first time at a Pan American Conference an open declaration against US military intervention. In support of the Central American nations, Pueyrredon defended the sovereignty of each nation state in the hemisphere: 'diplomatic or armed intervention, whether permanent or temporary', he declared, 'is an attack against the independence of states and is not justified by the duty of protecting nations, as weak nations are, in their turn, unable to exercise such right....'1 Reported in newspapers around the world, Pueyrredon's challenge to the United States' right to intervene in Latin America was explosive.

  • A Peripheral-Realist Perspective, 1949-2012*
    ON THE WRONG SIDE OF HISTORY – Israel, Latin America and the United States under a peripheral-realist perspective, 1949-2012* By Carlos Escudé** Introduction/Abstract This paper applies peripheral realist theory1 to the case of the long-term interstate relations between Israel and the Latin American countries. It attempts to understand the change in these relations, which began with full-fledged Latin American support for the establishment of the State of Israel, but deteriorated following the establishment of the US-Israeli alliance. It interprets the US-Israeli-Latin American triangle as a non- Waltzian hierarchical interstate structure, and suggests that the involution in Israeli- Latin American relations can largely be explained in terms of at least five intervening variables: Israel’s vulnerability; its special relationship between the United States and Israel after 1967; the establishment of full electoral democracies in Latin America after 1983; the region’s social structures, and class identity of the Latin American Jewry. The theoretical framework Peripheral realism argues that the so-called “structure” of the international system is not what Stephen Waltz and other neorealists call “anarchy”, which is to say an order in which the states are “like units”, all of which have the same functions. It is rather an “incipient hierarchy” with three different types of states with different functions: rule- makers, rule-takers and rogue states (the latter being countries that lack the power needed for rule-making yet refuse to accept the formal and informal rules established by the great powers). From this perspective, both the Latin American states and Israel are peripheral states.
