Davis-Castro This report provides statistical information on Indigenous peoples in Latin America. Data and Research Librarian findings vary, sometimes greatly, on all topics covered in this report, including populations and languages, socioeconomic data, land and natural resources, human rights and international legal conventions. For example the figure below shows four estimates for the Indigenous population of Latin America ranging from 41.8 million to 53.4 million. The statistics vary depending on the source methodology, changes in national censuses, the number of countries covered, and the years examined.

Camacho AMAE, Inc. Associate Editors Julie L. Figueroa Sacramento State Lucila D. Ek The University of Texas at San Antonio http://amaejournal.utsa.edu ISSN: 2377-9187 Martinez Negrette Immigration Patterns and History of Mexican-origin Latin@s in the Midwest: Educational Implications and Future Considerations Giselle Martinez Negrette University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign Abstract The accelerated growth of the Latin@ population in the United States in the last few decades represents one of the most significant demographic changes in the nation. Alongside this population shift, some other trends have started to emerge: the Latin@ population, especially Mexican-origin people, has begun to move and settle outside traditional large cities (Murillo & Villenas, 1997; Stamps & Bohon, 2006). The numbers of Mexican-origin Latin@s concentrated in so-called “gateway” states, such as California and Texas, have started to decline and populations of immigrants settling in non-traditional destinations are now growing (Passel & Zimmerman 2001; Zuñiga & Hernandez-Leon, 2005). This demographic flow has been referred to in academic literature as the new Latino diaspora (Murillo & Villenas, 1997) or new Latino destinations (Suro & Singer, 2002). Against this background, this essay explores the literature with a focus on the history of Mexican-origin Latin@ presence in the Midwest, as well as the more recent immigration trends of this population in the region. The essay aims to extend current understandings of Latin@ immigration patterns in the Midwest, analyze their implications for education and policy, and offer additional questions and considerations for future research in the field.

  • The Asian Diaspora in Latin America: Asian in the Andes
    The Asian Diaspora in Latin America: Asians in the Andes Three years ago, as a result of my studies in the dual major of Photography and Asian Studies, and motivated by my own personal experiences, I began a long-te1m commitment to document the Asian Diaspora in Latin America. In this project, which has so far taken me to Cuba and Mexico, I explore the presence and reveal the stories of the displaced and disregarded Asians of Latin America. I would use the opportunity given to me, should I be awarded a Mortimer Hays-Brandeis Traveling Fellowship, to continue this project in the Andean countries of Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, and Chile. My intention as a photographer is to trace and record what has been overlooked or forgotten. Despite the undisputed Asian contribution to Latin American history, the economy and politics, their significance has been relatively neglected, as much by Asians 1 as by the world at large. This project will consist of photographic images and essays based on interviews and individual stories I will conduct while on location in and around Lima, Peru. My exploration of the Asian presence in Latin America began when I came to New York City for my studies and I encountered Spanish-speaking Asian communities. The 2000 Census showed that 11,500 Hispanic Asians live in New Y ork,2 and Professor Evelyn Hu-DeHa1i, director of the Center for the Study of Race and Ethnicity in America 1 Recognizing the ongoing debate amongst scholars to define what ethnicities the term "Asian" includes, I choose for this proposal and only for matter of clarity to stay focused on Chinese, Japanese, and Koreans.

Current research focuses on six themes: productivity and growth, natural resources, labor markets, the evolution of global financial markets, the economic impact of technology and innovation, and urbanization. Recent reports have assessed the digital economy, the impact of AI and automation on employment, income inequality, the productivity puzzle, the economic benefits of tackling gender inequality, a new era of global competition, Chinese innovation, and digital and financial globalization. MGI is led by three McKinsey & Company senior partners: Jacques Bughin, Jonathan Woetzel, and James Manyika, who also serves as the chairman of MGI.

BATES, JOHN H. COATSWORTH, AND JEFFREY G. WILLIAMSON Africa and Latin America secured independence from European colonial rule a century and half apart: most of Latin America by the 1820s and most of Africa by 1960. Despite the distance in time and space, they share important similari- ties. In each case independence was followed by political instability, violent conflict, and economic stagnation lasting for about a half-century. The parallels suggest that Africa might be exiting from a period of postimperial collapse and entering one of relative political stability and economic growth, as did Latin America almost two centuries ago. frica and Latin America secured their independence from Euro- Apean colonial rule a century and half apart: most of Latin America by the 1820s and most of Africa by 1960.1 Despite the distance in time and space, independence was followed in each case by a half-century of political instability, violent conflict and economic stagnation—lost dec- ades.

  • The Case of Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa
    23 Regionalism and Interregionalism: The case of Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa Frank Mattheis Centre for the Study of Governance Innovation, University of Pretoria ABSTRACT In their extra-regional outreach Latin America and Sub-Saharan Africa rarely make each other a priority. However, since the end of the Cold War there has been an increasing amount of political efforts to strengthen ties on a region-to-region basis. This paper argues that this rapprochement has been facilitated by the emergence of two regional projects following a similar logic in a post-Cold War context: the Southern African Development Community and the Common Market of the Southern Cone. At the same time, both projects face serious limitations of actorness that are illustrative of the confined space for interregionalism across the South Atlantic. An analysis of the formalised initiatives on political, economic and trade issues between the two regions concludes that these are characterised by transregional and partly pure forms of interregionalism and that most initiatives are heavily shaped by the leading role of Brazil.
