Latin America, 1945-Present Latin America 1945–Present Key Events As you read this chapter, look for the key events in the history of Latin American nations. • Many Latin American nations have experienced severe economic problems, and their governments have been led by military dictators. • Successful Marxist revolutions in Cuba and Nicaragua fed fears in the United States about the spread of communism in the Americas. The Impact Today The events that occurred during this time period still impact our lives today. • Latin American influence in the United States can be seen in art, music, literature, and foods. • Rapid and unplanned industrial development in some Latin American countries has led to heightened concern about the environment.

The danger to American lives is a hundred times greater every day and night in Washington, D.C., ‘the murder capital of the United States,’ and in other American cities to which President Bush has hardly applied his policy of pro- tecting North American lives and waging war against drugs (he prefers to wage that war on foreign battlefields).” —Latin American Civilization: History and Society, 1492 to the Present, Benjamin Keen, 1996 U.S. soldiers in Panama U.S. intervention in Latin American affairs has been a general trend in Latin Ameri- can history since 1945. Economic and Political Developments Since the nineteenth century, Latin Americans had exported raw materials while buying manufactured goods from industrialized countries. As a result of the Great Depression, however, exports fell, and the revenues that had been used to buy manufactured goods declined. In response, many Latin American countries developed industries to produce goods that were formerly imported.

  • Jorge Basadre's “Peruvian History of Peru,”
    Jorge Basadre’s “Peruvian History of Peru,” or the Poetic Aporia of Historicism Mark Thurner We need a Peruvian history of Peru. By Peruvian history of Peru I mean a history that studies the past of this land from the point of view of the formation of Peru itself. We must insist upon an authentic history ‘of ’ Peru, that is, of Peru as an idea and entity that is born, grows, and develops. The most important personage in Peruvian history is Peru. Jorge Basadre, Meditaciones sobre el destino histórico del Perú Although many gifted historians graced the stage of twentieth-century Peru- vian letters, Jorge Basadre Grohmann (1903 – 1980) was clearly the dominant figure. Today Basadre is universally celebrated as the country’s most sagacious and representative historian, and he is commonly referred to as “our historian of the Republic.” Libraries, avenues, and colleges are named after him. The year 2003 was “The Year of Basadre” in Peru, with nearly every major cultural institution in Lima organizing an event in his honor.1 The National University HAHR editors and the anonymous readers of earlier versions of this article deserve my thanks. Support from the Social Science Research Council, the Fulbright-Hays Program, and the University of Florida is gratefully acknowledged. All translations are mine. 1. There is no systematic work on Basadre, but several Peruvian scholars have reflected upon aspects of his work, and the centennial celebration has prompted the publication of conference proceedings.

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.

Estimate: $2,500,000-3,500,000 Estimate: $800,000-1,200,000 SINGLE-OWNER COLLECTION OF CUBAN ART INCLUDED IN THE LATIN AMERICAN ART SALE | NOVEMBER 22-23, 2016 MIAMI PREVIEW | OCTOBER 29-30, 2016 New York—Christie’s announces an unprecedented single-owner collection of modern and contemporary Cuban art, CUBA MODERNA: Masterworks from a Private Collection, featured in the Latin American Art sale, November 22-23 in New York, with a public preview of highlights in Miami from October 29-30. The Miami preview is held in collaboration with Christie’s International Real Estate and EWM Realty International. Carefully assembled over the past three decades, this extensive collection of nearly forty works spans from the historical vanguardia—with works by Victor Manuel, Eduardo Abela, Amelia Peláez, Fidelio Ponce de León, Carlos Enríquez, Marcelo Pogolotti—through modern masters of the Havana school—Cundo Bermúdez, René Portocarrero, Mario Carreño, and Mariano Rodríguez—artists that experimented in abstraction and Surrealism—Wifredo Lam, Agustín Fernández, Servando Cabrera Moreno, and José María Mijares—as well as a handful of contemporary painters who made waves in the 1980s and 1990s, once again drawing Cuban art into the international spotlight. CUBA MODERNA is led by Wifredo Lam’s Sur les traces (Transformation), (estimate: $2,500,000-3,500,000). Painted in 1945, after Lam’s return to Havana during the Second World War, this large-scale painting exemplifies the impact of Surrealism coupled with the influence of Afro-Cuban culture, in which stippled, black brushwork insinuates myriad bodies— suggestively hybridized and otherworldly—silhouetted against a shadowy landscape.

  • Latin American Art: Selected Sources
    BiblioNoticias No. 94, March 1998 Editor: Ann Hartness LATIN AMERICAN ART: SELECTED SOURCES Compiled by Laura Gutiérrez-Witt The increasingly visible presence of Latin American artists and their work on the global art scene has resulted in a vast increase in the number of publications and sources of information on Latin American art. A variety of institutions such as museums, galleries, and universities as well as commercial publishers and government cultural agencies in the United States, Latin America and Europe are sponsoring and distributing these materials. Necessarily the titles selected for this bibliography represent only those works which deal with Latin American art in general. Publications which deal with the history of art in one country or with only one artist are excluded due to their sheer volume. Latin American art is here defined to include all media: painting, architecture, sculpture, photography, drawing, printmaking, textiles, decorative art such as furniture and metalwork, and contemporary folk art. The titles are limited to works and artists of the sixteenth to twentieth centuries. Materials on pre-Columbian indigenous art are excluded, again because of their volume. Additional sources for Latin American art can be found in the library catalog under "Art--Latin America" and "Art, Latin American," as well as under specific countries, for example, "Art-- Argentina" and "Art, Argentine." A search can also be done by medium, for example, "Painting-- Argentina" and "Painting, Argentine."
