A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
Eric Van Young
The year of my CLAH presidency has flown by all too fast. In preparing to take my leave I would warn against the perils of foreign entanglements and the military-industrial complex...and welcome my successor, Florencia Mallon. I would also like to thank those of you who took the trouble to write or otherwise contact me during the course of the last year with problems, suggestions, or even compliments about the organization.
This year has seen CLAH move forward on several ongoing projects. The Secretariat is installed at Auburn University under the extremely competent stewardship of Michael Conniff and Donathan Olliff. It has been a genuine pleasure working with them, and what revitalization the organization may have enjoyed is due directly to their efforts. Thanks are also due to Patsy Peoples for putting together the 1993 Newsletters. The one concrete goal I set myself this year as President was to expand the membership base. This we are on the way to doing through an appeal in this Newsletter and a mailing to several hundred potential CLAH members whose names appear in other directories or organization lists, but who have escaped our toils so far; whom we have lost track of over the years; or who have failed to renew their membership. My proposal for a two-year presidential term will be brought before the General Committee at the San Francisco meeting; if Al Gore can recommend a two-year budget cycle, we can certainly consider this mild reform.
We note with sadness the passing of Nettie Lee Benson, whose scholarship, teaching, and librarianship over half a century or so helped to shape our field. I would also like to extend a note of thanks to Richard Graham for taking the initiative with a Lewis Hanke Memorial Prize proposal, which will be taken up by the General Committee in January. 1993 also marks the 65th anniversary of CLAH.
The financial health of CLAH has never been better. Our endowments, with the addition of the munificent Lydia Cabrera bequest, now near $250,000. The Lydia Cabrera funds are being managed carefully by the Secretariat and should provide significant resources over the coming years for the study of Cuban history. Lou Perez and Rebecca Scott have undertaken to make recommendations to the CLAH General Committee as to how we might best go about encouraging research, graduate study, and the diffusion of work on Cuban history, and we all owe them a debt of gratitude.
Finally, we can all look forward to an excellent meeting in San Francisco in January, 1994. The CLAH program (both those sessions co-sponsored with the AHA, and our own substantial scholarly menu) is replete with interesting sessions. I would particularly like to encourage you all to attend the special round table discussion scheduled for the first evening of the convention, under the aegis of the Projects and Publications Committee (Marshall Eakin, Chair), devoted to the growing problem of scholarly publishing in our field, both at the academic presses and in our journals. The initiative for this session, in which several major press and journal editors will take part, was undertaken by David Holtby of the University of New Mexico Press, for which I thank him. We have also scheduled an exceptionally attractive annual CLAH luncheon at Historic John's Grill in San Francisco, near the convention hotels but far enough away to get out of the chaos of the meetings themselves for an hour or two. The luncheon will be preceded by a cash-bar co-sponsored by CLAH and the new Colonial Latin American Review.
A MESSAGE FROM THE SECRETARIAT
Michael Conniff Donathon Olliff
First, bienvenidos and beinvenidos to our new members! We've had a good response to our big mailing, so a number of you will be reading our newsletter for the first time. That partly accounts for the hefty size of this issue. We appreciate your comments and suggestions regarding the services we provide, so please get in touch when you think of something. We have done this for only 10 months now, and we welcome your thoughts on how to improve our operations and to respond to your needs.
Again, please encourage your colleagues and graduate students to join-- the more people who belong, the better we can serve everyone.
We're continuing to go electronic at CLAH. The biggest innovation is our trial adoption of H-LATAM as CLAH's official bulletin-board and fileserver. (See the articles on H-LATAM and e-mail in this issue and attend the presentation by Jackie Kent in San Francisco.) The newsletters, member lists, bylaws, and annual program will be posted on H-LATAM. You may want to download an electronic mail list for use on your own computer. If you don't use internet, we will be happy to copy any of our documentation onto diskettes you send us. Finally, we are gratified that a large amount of our mail now comes over internet, saving us (and you) time and money.
We have changed and streamlined some financial operations. Most of the endowment is invested in several funds managed by IDS, a subsidiary of American Express. To save time and expense, we no longer issue membership cards or receipts for dues and other payments. If you wish to have a receipt, however, we will be happy to send one upon request. We will have a CPA examine our accounts in December and issue a statement regarding our financial position and procedures.
The program for the San Francisco meeting in January 1994 offers us a wide variety of stimulating sessions, most of which, 15 out of 21, are being offered outside the AHA program structure. The 1994 program committee and its hard working chair, Jonathan Brown, merit congratulations for a job well done. We don't plan to check the list of over a hundred participants in the program for CLAH membership, but we hope that session chairs will encourage those who are not members to join. For program participants who are members but haven't paid their current dues this is an opportunity to get up to date on that score.
We've made an effort to get copies of the bylaws to all current CLAH members and in the future new members will be furnished copies when they join. Members should save these bylaws for future reference.
Some of our members who are more advanced in the culinary arts have expressed an interest in having a CLAH cookbook, a compilation of favorite regional and national dishes from Latin America. The Secretariat stands ready to produce and distribute such a work, if some member is willing to edit it.
COMMITTEE REPORTS ComPAQH COMMITTEE
Approximately thirty Latin Americanists attended the annual meeting of ComPAQH. The business portion of the meeting was brief since the chair reported on ComPAQH activities in a pre-conference letter to committee members. The committee continues to support two newsletters: Latin American Population History Bulletin appears regularly under the direction of Robert McCaa (University of Minnesota); editor Richard Garner (Penn State) expects to have the second issue of Latin American Economic History Newsletter ready in February 1993.
The program for the 1992 meeting was a debate on the size of Peru's precontact population, in particular on the evidence and methods in Noble David Cook's Demographic Collapse: Indian Peru, 1520-1620 (Cambridge, 1981). Each invited participant was allowed twenty minutes to make an opening statement. David Henige (University of Wisconsin) entitled his remarks "Counting the Encounter: The Pernicious Appeal of Verisimilitude." Henige began with general remarks on the importance of graphics in selling arguments, concluding that tables and lists are a form of rhetoric. His specific criticisms of Cook's work included:(1) that the list of epidemic diseases indiscriminately mixed good and bad information; (2) that the depopulation table was flawed as the result of unrealistic assumptions; and (3) that the resulting population estimate for 1520 was far too high owing both to the aforementioned assumptions and the cumulative effects of projecting over a fifty-year period. With historical arguments and assumptions he regarded as more plausible, Henige projected a figure of 6.3 million or about 30% lower than Cook's estimate of 8.9 million. Henige pointed to a group of demographers he called "High Counters". The "High Counters" use figures the way Bartolome de las Casas used anecdotes, but "High Counters" posit populations larger than Las Casas imagined. Henige also suggested a connection between guilt and the large numbers of deaths in both the sixteenth-century Americas and the Nazi Holocaust as an illustration of the ideological background against which the arguments over specific numbers take place.
Cook entitled his remarks "Demographic Collapse Revisted." He indicated that his primary concern in Demographic Collapse was with demographic change in Peru from 1750 to 1620 when documentary evidence was better. Cook stressed the provisional nature of his tables as attempts to illustrate possibilities, not to state confirmed truth. He contended that his lists of Andean disease outbreaks distinguished between isolated and more generalized occurrences. Cook also raised the question of whether known mortality rates for recent outbreaks should be applied to mortality during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, an issue that Henige had not raised but one that Cook thought merited more critical attention. After discussing some of the recent historical controversies involved in dating the death of Huayna Capac, Cook defended his methods and conclusions as tenable, stressing that he had not presented them as anything more certain than possibilities. Cook was pleased that Henige had carried out his own reasoning and calculations, noting that Henige's figure of 6.3 million fell within Cook's range of 5.5 to 9.4 million as a plausible range for the actual aboriginal population. Cook remarked that those who read his book looking only for a number were responsible for the uncritical of a figure that he thought had been accepted too easily and without critical reading. Cook rejected the category of "High Counter" as a loaded term, pointed to estimates he himself regarded as too high, and outlined the gross dissimilarities between the demographic collapse in the sixteenth-century Americas and the Nazi Holocaust of the twentieth-century, adding that he considered Las Casas a propagandist and not a credible source of population estimates.
After these opening statements, Henige and Cook made brief responses. Henige conceded Cook's caution in the text but argued that the tables belie the narrative. Henige also granted that most Indians had died of Old World diseases but rejected the characterization of his figures as "results" preferring to consider them "counterarguments." Henige emphasized the tendency of readers to prefer tables to text and labeled Las Casas "an unconscionable propagandist."
Cook took issue with the characterization "High Counter" on three grounds: that he was estimating, not counting; that his estimates were reasonable; and that group labels, especially pejorative ones, should not be applied to scholars with widely divergent views. Cook suggested that epidemic disease might have reached Peru ahead of Europeans themselves, possibly as early as 1520.
Lively audience participation followed with general objection to the term "High Counters" and specific remarks on the death of Huayna Capac. Henige responded that the primary issue is the possibility of arriving at a figure. There should be no attempt to estimate contact population, he concluded. Saying that the "vast majority" died of European diseases was sufficient. Before thanking the panelists and the audience for an exciting and provocative session, the chair affirmed the obvious. Questions of size are fundamentally quantitative; the only question is the degree of precision we can attain as scholars. Given the animated discussion these papers received, it seems unlikely that many scholars would be content with excessively general conclusions. Committee on Brazilian Studies
Elizabeth Kusnezoff (University of Kansas) chaired the meeting which featured three papers on "The Internal Economy of Nineteenth- Century Brazil": "Going to Market: Producers, Traders, and Consumers in the Internal Economy of Southern and Central Brazil During the Early Nineteenth Century," Larissa V. Brown (Michigan State University); "Para
Brown in her presentation argued that a significant internal economy had emerged in central and southern Brazil by the early nineteenth century and had created a geographically extensive trading network centered on the city of Rio de Janeiro. This trading network handled above all else commodities that met basic needs: various foodstuffs; transport in the form of pack animals; fuels such as firewood and charcoal; construction materials; and cotton goods for clothing. The increase in Rio de Janeiro's urban population and the expansion of plantation agriculture in the city's immediate hinterlands encouraged the growth of this internal economy and the incorporation of new and more distant supply areas. In turn, some of these supply areas became consumption markets for goods produced elsewhere in southern and central Brazil. Nevertheless, the spatial organization of this trade network continued to reflect the political and economic primacy of Rio de Janeiro as the region's chief link to wider transatlantic economic systems. Through their control of credit, carioca merchants dominated trade in the provinces and built a "vertical trading system, fundamentally dendritic in form." Brown went on to argue that, despite its expansion in the early nineteenth century, this internal economy failed to undergo a dynamic transformation. Four aspects of the internal economy help explain the lack of greater dynamism. First, the internal economy grew extensively by incorporating new supply areas into the established trading network centered on Rio. Second, a poor transportation infrastructure and discriminatory taxation restricted trade to items that could bear the cost of transportation and heavy taxes. Third, a low level of geographic specialization characterized the internal economy with the same products coming from a number of different supply areas. Fourth and last, the internal trade network failed to generate major innovations either in production or in merchant practices. The obstacles blocking innovation included the widespread use of slave labor in the economy and the concentration of wealth within the free population. As a result, market signals discouraged merchants from investing in import-substituting activities and encouraged them to acquire land and slaves. Brown concluded that, given the constraints at work within the internal trade network, "a leap from vegetative expansion...to dynamic transformation would have required government intervention to stimulate the internal economy."
Barickman's paper, based on work with probate records, examined provisioning strategies on Bahian sugar plantations and cane farms and focused specifically on farinha, the chief breadstuff in the slave diet. Barickman argued that, given expanding overseas markets for their staple, many and perhaps even most Bahian sugar planters and cane farmers in the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries preferred to purchase flour in local markets. Thus, the day-to-day reproduction of the slave workforce employed in the sugar industry depended to a high degree on marketed provisions. Far from forestalling the emergence of an internal economy, the specialized use of slave labor in plantation agriculture encouraged the growth of a local market for basic foodstuffs in Bahia. But, at the same time, the resulting market displayed little dynamism; slaveowners purchased for their bondsmen only the cheapest and most basic items. No new productive activities emerged in the early nineteenth century to meet the rural demand formed by plantation slaves.
Focusing on textiles, Libby argued that, in nineteenth-century Minas Gerais a combination of conditions favored not only economic diversification, but also a process of import-substituting proto- industrialization: geographic isolation, monetarization, a large and growing population, specialization in agriculture, and a large subsistence sector. Nominal census lists from the 1830s and 1840s indicate not only widespread employment in the secondary sector, but also the importance of domestic spinning and weaving. Together with observations by nineteenth-century travellers and data on inter-regional trade, the lists demonstrate the existence of a flourishing cottage textile industry in Minas Gerais. Within this industry, women, both free and slave, made up the overwhelming bulk of the workforce. Libby went on to examine the factors that hindered the evolution of domestic spinning and weaving toward full-fledged industry and that, by the end of the nineteenth century, had allowed the decline of the cottage textile industry in Minas. The cloistered household setting in which spinning and weaving, almost exclusively female activities, took place did not favor contacts between enterprising merchants who might invested capitol in this branch of manufacturing and direct producers. Indeed, a putting-out system, which could have allowed merchants to gain greater control over production, never emerged in Minas. Successful merchants instead acquired land and slaves in a pattern of diversification that mirrored the diversity within the mineiro economy as a whole. Branching out into other activities may have distracted merchants from more direct involvement in the cottage textile industry, while social attitudes specific to a deeply entrenched slave society encouraged them to downplay their links with either commerce or manual labor.
Alden began his comments noting that all three papers deal with topics largely neglected in the "traditional" historiography. Just as it was understandable that the older scholarship, seeking to analyze Brazil's contributions to the Portuguese empire, should have focused on the export trade and on maritime Brazil, it is equally understandable that more recent research should tackle new issues and new topics. Alden then raised a number of specific points about the papers. For example, he noted that Rio's primacy might be also be related to its population, which not only exceeded that of any other city in southeastern Brazil, but also doubled in size between 1789 and 1821. Issues of social prestige, he argued, also explained planter preferences in Bahia for purchasing cassava, a crop cultivated in many cases by the poorest segments of the free population. Addressing Libby's paper, Alden questioned whether profit levels, rather than the fact that women did most of the spinning and weaving, would not better explain merchant decisions to invest or not in textile production.
Kusnezoff, in her concluding comments, noted that the three papers challenged older assumptions about the insignificance of activities geared toward the internal economy in nineteenth-century Brazil. Yet all three papers also demonstrated that such activities lacked the dynamism needed to bring about greater transformations in the Brazilian economy. Kusnezoff suggested that reasons for this lack of dynamism demand further research. A lively discussion followed. Mexican Studies Committee Report on Session by Richard J. Salvucci
Richard Garner (Penn State) addressed the annual meeting of the Mexican Studies Committee on "Very Long Term Economic Indicators: Manipulating the Data and the Results." Garner concluded that "the [Mexican] colony was not edging toward any Malthusian crisis [in the eighteenth century]." Secular movements in prices seemingly confirm the analysis: "significant long-term inflation is a scarce commodity in the second half of the colonial period in Mexico." Moreover, per capita product may have grown at .2% to .3% per year after 1650. Garner speculated that the rate might well have been higher were it not for problems of liquidity: "Mexican silver simply did not stay at home to cause growth, inflation, trouble, or however you want to define its potential."
Three commentaries followed. Eric Van Young (UCSD) questioned the linkages between demographic and economic change that Garner asserted. He also took exception to the level of aggregation that Garner selected for his measurement of product. Finally, Van Young wondered whether or not Chayanov's theory of the peasant economy might be relevant to Garner's work. Richard Salvucci (Trinity) asked if what we think we know and what we do know about the Bourbon economy are really the same thing. The economic measurements we make are not always well specified. So the "consensus view" of what occurred between 1750 and 1830 may well be misleading. Barbara Tenenbaum (Library of Congress) mourned the general neglect of economic history among historians. She concluded that economic history --Garner's included-- needs a much broader political context if it is to succeed. Tenenbaum concluded that the generally confiscatory policies of the Bourbons toward private wealth produced an independent Mexican state whose fiscal system was calculated to avoid a repeat of the Bourbon experience. A spirited discussion followed, with contributions by Carlos Marichal, Jaime Rodr guez, Murdo MacLeod, John Tutino, Don Stevens, and Chris Archer, among others. The session, which attracted about 20 people, adjourned at 6:30 P.M.
REPORTS ON SESSIONS
State and Finance in Latin America Session
About 16 people attended the session "State and Finance in Latin America: Nineteenth and Twentieth Centuries." Paul Drake (UCSD) presented a paper entitled "Foreign Advisors and Lenders in Latin America, 1890s-1990s." Drake noted that cycles of lending and adjustment that have affected Latin America roughly every 50 years since the 1820s could be termed cycles of expert advice as well, as least during the twentieth century. Drake's own historical work has focussed on Edwin Kemmerer, who Drake calls "a sort of one-man IMF" from World War I to the Great Depression. More recently, "money doctors" such as Rudiger Dornbusch, Albert Fishlow, and Jeffrey Sachs have been deeply involved in advising debtor nations as diverse as Bolivia and Poland. Drake concluded that the role of the money doctor has been crucial as "one linchpin holding the world economy together at fragile junctures." Moreover, there have been striking continuities in the nature of advice offered debtors over the past 60 years, advice that "increased security for the lenders and credibility for the borrowers."
Alfonso Quiroz (Baruch College, CUNY) followed with a paper entitled "The State and Its Financial Policies in Peru, 1880-1950." Quiroz's main conclusion was that "state intervention [has] had, on balance negative effects on financial development" in Peru, at least through 1950. Exchange rate policy and monetary measures are especially revealing in this regard, particularly before 1919. Official and economic elites captured the state, and turned its policy instruments to their advantage. During the interwar years, the state "contribut[ed] to the national infrastructure, but hinder[ed] local financial diversification." Institutions such as the Banco de Reserva were dominated by agro-exporters and miners. After 1931, development banks such as the Banco Agricola, the Banco Industrial, and the Banco Minero subsidized agrarian and industrial interests, but "distorted financial development, resource allocation, income distribution, and entrepreneurial capacity."
Comments by Nils Jacobsen (University of Illinois) and Richard Salvucci (Trinity) followed. Jacobsen observed that the two papers were essentially complementary. Did Drake's "money doctors" simply impart a "seal of sacredness" to policies that were essentially incompatible with the culture of the debtor countries? In the same vein, could Quiroz correctly argue that financial liberalism is a priori the "correct" policy for Peru? Perhaps the administrative capacity of the Peruvian state was enhanced by state intervention. Salvucci concurred with Jacobsen's critique, but suggested that "money doctors" responded to unsatisfactory rates of return to creditor nations. He also observed that the creation of a banking system is, in essence, the creation of a public good, even though the system's lending policies may well favor one group over another.
A wide-ranging discussion of about 25 minutes followed, with the question of financial efficiency versus social equity of prime concern. All agreed that both papers were indeed well done.

IX Conference of Mexican and North American Historians
IX Conference of Mexican and North American Historians; The History of Three Nations: Mexico-United States-Canada; Mexico City; October 27, 28, and 29, 1994. Under the general theme, the Conference will examine the relationships between historical-demographic processes, forms of settlement, and different kinds of boundaries in specific spaces. Also, it will analyze forms of organization through institutions, culture, the political practices of different social actors, change, and socio-cultural permanence as well as economic structures and transformations.
Themes under consideration will be developed in the following workshops: 1.The Construction of Space
To ensure a useful dialogue, it is important to remind contributors that in all Plenary Sessions and Round Tables the topic of the three nations should be approached. Each round table or workshop will have a chairperson and commentator. The workshops will be organized according to the above mentioned topics, without obligatory joint analysis of the three nations. At the latest, proposals for papers should be submitted to the Mexican or North American Organizing Committees by November 15, 1993. Having evaluated the proposals, the Joint Organizing Committee for the IX Conference will announce its approval by February,

MICROFILM collections
The library of Congress Hispanic Division and the Hispanic acquisitions Section, E&G, assembled a collection entitled Mexican and Central American Political and Social Ephemera 1980-1991, which was organized and cataloged by Brian Belanger, now at St. Anselm's College, Manchester, NH. The collection contains pamphlets, campaign literature, broadsides, flyers, newsletters, and limited serials. Issues covered include publications of women's and students' groups, public health and AIDS support services, and church work among the poor. The Mexican materials reflect the widening of political power and the emergence of new parties and coalitions. Common themes in the Central American portion are human rights, political torture, the question of "disappeared" persons, persecution, and violence. The collection of 3,112 items, which also includes posters, is now available in 44 positive microfilm reels (Order number Microfilm 92/4660MRR). The set is broken down into the following, which may be acquired individually: Mexican politics (reels 1- 15), Mexican social conditions (reels 16-26), Central America--not including Nicaragua (reels 27-35), Nicaragua (reels 36-43) and Posters (reels 44). The complete collection costs $1,300.00, while individual reels cost $30.00 (North American orders) and $35.00 (other countries). These prices include postage. Please send purchase orders to:

Electronic Mail and Computer Networks for the Uninitiated: Or, How I Overcame Anxiety and Learned to Love E-Mail Donald F. Stevens, Drexel University
Most of us became historians out of a fascination with the past, not because we were enamored with the latest gizmos and gadgets that modern technology has produced. Many of us have grown used to the advantages of using personal computers instead of typewriters, but PCs have other exciting abilities that Latin American historians are neglecting.
When I first began using computers in graduate school, no one would have applied the adjective "personal" to a computer. The only computer available was a particularly impersonal IBM behemoth with which one attempted to communicate by punch cards. The "users' room" was a decidedly user-unfriendly space reverberating with key-punch machine cacophony and glaring overhead fluorescent lights. It was impossible to think there and the computer was absolutely intolerant of error. Instructions had to be planned carefully and transferred meticulously to punch cards, lest the demonic machine reject them because you had forgotten to close a parenthesis, mistyped a single letter, or gotten the cards in the wrong order. Now I can sit at my own desk in my calm, quiet, warmly lit office and perform tasks that I couldn't have imagined twenty years ago. Software is friendlier and the hardware is more compact, attractive, and quiet. I remember thinking several years ago that the system had just about reached perfection. I could write and edit, put footnotes at the bottom of the page or at the end of a paper, and even do simple data analyses without having to confront the machine that squatted down in the basement. I imagined that I'd never have to learn another thing about computers, and that thought made me very happy.
I was wrong. It started one cold rainy day when I didn't want to walk across campus to check a citation in the library. A colleague (a non- quantitative humanist, as it happens) showed me how to consult the library catalog from the Macintosh in his office. It probably took me longer that day to learn how to do something differently than it would have to plod across campus and do it the old way. Even confronting the mainframe computer was better than a stroll though a rainstorm at 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Gradually I began to use the system more and more to save time and effort even in good weather. There are advantages to knowing if a book is charged out before going off to the library to look for it, or printing out long lists of titles and call numbers rather than writing them down by hand. After a while, I found that computerized library catalogs all over this country (and many in foreign lands as well) are accessible over phone lines or by computer networks, making it possible to search for more arcane titles and specialized subjects than are available locally. I'm especially tickled to be able to check the Benson Collection catalog at the University of Texas without leaving my study at home in Philadelphia. With the Hispanic American Periodicals Index and other services now available on-line, information on periodicals can be delivered not just to our doorsteps but directly onto our desks and computer disks. Some guides to manuscript collections are already on line, and more will be available in the next few years. These are not the only miracles of computer technology that can make our lives more pleasant. As incredible as it may seem, computers can even make long distance communication more personal.
Professors are notoriously difficult to reach by telephone. We're either in class, in the library, or don't want to be interrupted while trying to finish an article or book review that's overdue or a lecture for a class that meets in half an hour. Cellular phones and electronic pagers are obviously not the way to go. Answering machines, voice mail, and efficient secretaries keep the system from breaking down entirely, but games of telephone tag can go on for days. Writing letters has a quaint appeal but the postal system is often slow, especially to foreign countries. Besides, there's something anachronistic about composing a letter on a computer but going to all the trouble of printing it out, addressing and stamping an envelope, and carrying it to the mailbox. It's like transferring music from digital compact disks to analog phonograph records so you can play them at 78 rpm on the Victrola. It can be done, but it doesn't really make sense. Miss Manners would remind us that for formal communication there is no proper substitute for a letter, but written correspondence is often an awkward, time-consuming vehicle for casual, interactive, conversation and collaboration.
Newsletters provide information about who's doing what and where, but they arrive infrequently with "news" that may be months out of date. For many of us, scholarly meetings are the best chance we have for catching up with friends and colleagues. Computer networks will never replace the hotel bar at any conference but such meetings are expensive and lamentably infrequent.
There is a technological fix for this communications gap, electronic mail. Our colleagues have been using e-mail for at least a decade.
The system takes a small investment of time to learn, but it has several advantages over other forms of communication. It's faster and less formal than written correspondence, and it's better behaved than the telephone. It doesn't interrupt your train of thought or anyone else's since it doesn't interrupt at all. You can send a message when it occurs to you without worrying about whether it's an awkward or inappropriate time in your own or another's time zone. (Asynchronicity, they call it). Messages (and even electronic manuscripts) are delivered almost instantly across long distances and international borders. Then, they wait patiently on computer disks until it's convenient for them to be received. Addressing a response can take no more than a keystroke or two. Your reply will be dispatched at the speed of electrons. E-mail should be a tremendous boon to academics, especially those seeking a fast way to communicate or collaborate with friends and colleagues several time zones or thousands of miles away. Yet, somehow Latin American historians seem particularly resistant to the charms of electronic mail; fewer than 10% of the latest CLAH membership list include e-mail addresses.
My e-mail address isn't listed either. I got so few messages that I'd forget to look for them. The problem may be analogous to the early days of the telephone. You can't reach people if you don't know the phone number, or if they haven't gotten one of those newfangled devices. Maybe they don't want anyone to know they don't know how to use it, or think they can get by pretending it's an unnecessary technology that will never really catch on. It would be difficult to overstate the advantages that e- mail and computer networks offer, but the benefits are only potential until more CLAH members learn to use the system. There are hundreds of computer mediated discussion groups but none that appeal specifically to historians of Latin America.
To get started you need three things: hardware to make the physical connections possible, software to make the hardware work, and a minimum of training so you can tell the software how to tell the hardware what to do. Hardware and software will vary depending on the circumstances of your campus or home office. You may only need a cable to connect your PC to a special outlet in the wall (if your campus has the wiring for a computer network in place), an asynchronous data option (to link your computer over digital telephone lines), or a modem (if the phone lines are either pulse or touch tone). Some or all of this equipment may be available for free (or at least on someone else's budget) on your campus. The most expensive items, modems and ADOs, do not cost much more than a night or two at a conference hotel.
The psychic costs may be more significant than the economic outlays. The whole system can seem baffling at first. You may have to endure explanations from technological over-achievers about things that are fascinating to them but not to you, like how the computers are linked in networks using dedicated phone lines. I've had engineers draw me diagrams. I survived. I smiled, nodded, and pretended to understand. I wondered, do I really need to know this? It's adaptive behavior I recommend. Most of us will never really grasp what's going on with this technology any more than we really comprehend why our automobile engines, stereos, or microwave ovens work. Don't let that bother you. This is one time when it pays to be superficial. If you were the sort of person who liked this stuff, you'd already be using it.
E-mail and computer networks have advantages that I've only begun to hint at here. Find out for yourself. Give your computer a chance to be something more than a fancy typewriter and next time you fill out the CLAH membership form, don't forget your e-mail address! Historical Sources on the Internet
The International History Network, a consortium of scholars who use the Internet and BITNET to further the study of History, maintains a hypertext program which can be reached by a telnet connection to history.cc.uknas.edu (login as history). HNserver allows a user to choose items (text files, programs, and photographs) from electronic storage and retrieval scroll throughout the world and import them into one's local computer or computer account. At present, sites are located in Australia, the Netherlands, and the United States. The text files contain original documents, scholarly papers, indices, bibliographies, and much more. Some sites storage photographs in GIF format.
We would like to add more sites and files. We are looking for persons willing to create and maintain anonymous FTP sites for historians. We would then link these sites into our HNserver at the University of Kansas. A local computer support person can explain how to create and maintain an anonymous FTP site (it does not require extensive technical knowledge). The historian who maintains the site would be responsible for the acquisition of the files and notifying Lynn Nelson <LHNELSON@UKANVM.BITNET), the manager of HNserver, of their existence.
If you are willing to create a site or if you have files you are willing to have stored at an existing site, please contact:

Welcome to H-LATAM!
A new international electronic discussion group has been set up at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) in order to provide a forum for historians of Latin American history. Subscription is free and subscribers will automatically receive messages in their computer mailboxes. Messages can be saved, discarded, copied, printed out, or relayed to someone else. It's like a newsletter that is fee and published daily.
The primary purpose of H-LatAm is to enable historians to communicate current research and teaching interests; to discuss new approaches, methods and tools of historiography. H-LatAm will be especially interested in methods of teaching history to graduate and undergraduate students in diverse settings. H-LatAm is edited by Professor Jackie Kent of SUNY-Cortland and Professor Phillip Mueller of Xavier University (New Orleans) and will have an editorial board broadly representative of the state of scholarship. Due to technical restrictions, however, mail to the editor will be sent to Kent. Mueller is available only through his personal email address at hi23ahg@mailhost.tcs.tulane.edu or through the H-LatAm list.
H-LatAm will feature dialogues in the discipline. It will publish syllabi, outlines, handouts, bibliographies, guides to term papers, listings of new sources, library catalogs and archives, and reports on new software, datasets and CD-Roms. Subscribers will write in with questions, comments, and reports. H-LatAm will post announcements of conferences, fellowships, and jobs. We expect many messages at first will be of the "How can I do this with my computer?" variety and also "Where can I locate such and such?" Please send them in, for someone on the list will be able to help. H-LatAm will carry publisher's announcements of new books, and we will commission book reviews. We will not become an electronic journal.
To subscribe, send this email message via Bitnet to Listserv@uicvm:

If you use Internet instead of Bitnet, the same message goes to
Listserv@uicvm.uic.edu (capitol or lower case does not matter, but spelling does. Note "Listserv"). There are no dues or fees of any kind. Subscribers only need an address on Bitnet or Internet, which is provided to faculty and students by campus computer centers. The consultants there, or your departmental guru, can explain how to send an email message via Bitnet or Internet.
Documents of interest--bibliographies, book and article reviews, announcements, teaching materials, and descriptions of tools, techniques, and computer software and hardware, plus the weekly files of messages-- will be made available from the H-LatAm Fileserver.
To obtain a list of available documents, sent a note to:

20 Scholarly Lists for Historians
Dramatic changes are underway in the electronic Internet and Bitnet systems that link academic computers together. H-Net is an initiative of the History department at the University of Illinois, Chicago, to assist historians to go on-line, using their personal computers.
H-Net sponsors 20 electronic discussion groups or "lists". Subscribers automatically receive messages in their computer mailboxes. These messages can be replied to, saved, discarded, downloaded to a PC, copied, printed out, or relayed to someone else. The lists are free newsletters that are published daily. Currently our lists have 3,000+ subscribers (2,500+ separate people) in 35 countries. Membership is open to any scholar or graduate student, and is free. (We especially welcome librarians and archivists.) Each list are controlled by moderators (historians) and a board of editors who examine the flow of messages and reject those unsuitable for a scholarly discussion group.
The primary purpose of each list is to enable scholars to easily communicate current research and teaching interests; to discuss new approaches, methods and tools of analysis; to share information on electronic databases; and to test new ideas and share comments on current historiography. Each list is especially interested in methods of teaching history in diverse settings. The lists feature dialogues in the discipline. They publish book reviews, job announcements, syllabi, course outlines, and other information.
New editors are needed; if interested, send a vita to Richard Jensen at H-NET@uicvm.

The Guide to Latin American Manuscript Collections
John F. Schwaller (Florida Atlantic University)
Some thirty years ago the CLAH began a project to develop a guide to Latin American manuscript collections. The project became a reality in the mid 1960s, under the direction of Dr. Gunnar Mendoza. Funded by the Ford Foundation, Mendoza and his team at the University of Texas labored, for nearly three years. Nevertheless, the project did not reach fruition and was curtailed for lack of funding. Since that time, the project has been one of the priorities of the CLAH.
Three years ago, I was invited by Dr. Lawrence Clayton, of the University of Alabama, and Dr. James Gardner, of the AHA to direct an effort to revive the project, seeking funding from the NEH. This was the third attempt within recent years which would be made by the CLAH and AHA to gain NEH backing. This last effort, however, proved successful, and in August, 1992, the NEH approved the project for an initial eighteen month period. What follows will be a brief overview of the project and its goals.
The Project, as accepted by the NEH, is formally entitled: "Improving access to Hispanic and Latin American Materials in the United States." It will last approximately five years with a global budget of some $2 million. It seeks to develop a guide to Latin American manuscript collections housed in the United States. For the purposes of the guide, Latin America is defined as the Spanish and Portuguese speaking regions of the Americas, including the Caribbean and the Borderlands. The project focuses on historical documents, dating from the period prior to 1900, or, in the case of the Borderlands, until the region was incorporated into the United states. Collections containing materials either from or about Latin America will be included. Thus original materials from Latin America as well as travellers accounts, commercial records and other materials about Latin America will fall under the scope of the project. Special notice should be made that the project seeks to catalog collections containing Latin American materials, not individual documents. We hope to be as inclusive as possible, surveying universities, historical societies, and other repositories.
The project will be housed at the University of Florida. It will have a permanent staff of three. I am the Project Director/Executive Editor. Approximately one-quarter of my time will be dedicated to the project. In Gainesville the project will have a full-time Director/Editor and a full-time secretary. Additional assistance will come in the form of graduates students who will work both in the project office and in local repositories. Oversight of the project is vested in an Executive Committee consisting of representatives of AHA, CLAH, UF, University of Texas, and the American Association of Archivists, specifically James Gardner, Lawrence Clayton, Murdo MacLeod, Laura Gutierrez-Witt, and Charles Dollar. There will also be a group of Regional Editors who will help identify repositories in their area and coordinate on-site visits.
The initial phase of the project, lasting eighteen months, will survey repositories already identified by Mendoza, and ascertain that the information already received is correct. Additional repositories will be identified using standard reference works and questionnaires. Reporting forms and other tools will be developed in this phase as well. Once a complete set of repositories has been identified, the second phase will begin. Every effort will be made to have repositories report their holdings. If cooperation is not possible, the project will send researchers to the repository to identify and describe the pertinent collections. The final goal of the project is to create a computer-based guide to collections. The database will be placed on-line through RLIN, OCLC, or another similar electronic data base for use by scholars. In this fashion a capacity for continual updating will be possible. If there is sufficient demand a printed guide might be published. Some provisions will be made for the maintenance of the database and the inclusion of new collections.
In the coming years we will be soliciting the direct assistance of the community of Latin American historians. For further information, contact Dr. Ignacio Avellaneda, Asst. Director Latin American Manuscripts Project Anderson Hall, Suite 104 University of Florida Gainesville, FL 32611-5210
PUBLICATIONS
Two New Journals: CLAR and CLAHR
Peter Bakewell (Emory University)
In 1992 two new journals dedicated to colonial Latin America began publication in the USA, with the rather easily confused titles of Colonial Latin American Review and Colonial Latin American Historical Review. CLAR has a north-eastern base, both in its editorship and its sponsorship, which is shared between the Simon H. Rifkind Center for the Humanities, and the Department of Romance Languages of the City College of the City University of New York. CLAHR, in nicely symmetrical fashion, is firmly from the south-west, with its home at the Spanish Colonial Research Center of the University of New Mexico.
CLAR is interdisciplinary, aiming to publish articles, review essays and book reviews relating to colonial art, anthropology, geography, history and literature, and intending to link these disciplines. CLAR limits itself to history and `culture,' but welcomes comparisons with other colonial areas. CLAR will publish in English, Spanish and Portuguese. CLAHR has already published in Spanish, and would presumably take Portuguese also.
Both journals have distinguished editorial boards. That of CLAR is rather larger and more extensive geographically, with membership extending to several Latin American countries, and France and Spain. The composition of the CLAHR board suggests, perhaps greater attention to Mexico and the borderlands than elsewhere; though early articles on South American topics bely this impression.
The contributors to the first issues of each journal are of similar eminence, and the range of subjects, especially in CLAR, intriguing. Clearly, if this standard can be maintained, these two publications will be a challenge to existing journals from a variety of countries. CLAR will be especially valuable to those of us (I place myself in the forefront of such sinners) less assiduous than we should be in monitoring journals not specifically dedicated to history.
The appearance of CLAR and CLAHR in 1992 can surely be no coincidence. The Quincentennial produced, as was hoped, not just an otiose rehashing of Columbus, discovery/encounter, and related themes, but also an abundance of new research on the body of the colonial period. Many results of that research have already appeared in print. Much more is to come. These two new publications will doubtless be the channel for some of it. It is, though, to be hoped--since a major task of colonialists is now to winnow all the work to which the Quincentennial gave rise--that they will particularly encourage review essays and other pieces of a synthesizing sort.
The general editor of CLAR is Raquel Chanc-Rodrigez, at Department of Romance Languages (NAC 5/223), Convent Ave. at 138th St., the City College, CUNY, New York, NY 10031; and of CLAHR, Joseph P. Sanchez, at Spanish Colonial Research Center, Zimmerman Library, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM 87131.

Rockefeller Foundation Fellowships
The Center for Latin American Studies and the Center for African Studies invite junior and senior scholars to participate in an interdisciplinary program on Afro-American identity and cultural diversity in the Americas, including the Caribbean, Brazil, and the U.S. as well as the sending areas of Africa. Funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, the program will enable visiting scholars in the area of the humanities to spend a year or a semester at the University of Florida to do research in this area. The University of Florida has a large faculty specializing in Latin America, the Caribbean and Africa, as well as outstanding library collections in each of these areas. Building on these strengths, the program will focus on three-interrelated issues, each of which will be emphasized in a different year, in the following sequence: 1) (1993-94) the intersection of race, class and gender as seen in research on women and the family, slavery and race relations, social movements, and migration; 2) (1994-95) studies in literature, religion and popular culture which reveal the ways in which Afro-American culture has transcended national boundaries and brought together people living in different regions; 3) (1995-96) studies on historical processes of adaptation to the physical environment through research on material culture, ecological systems and the built environment. Since the intent is to support the best proposals, this yearly framework will be broadly interpreted.
Each fellow will receive a maximum stipend of $35,000 for the academic year, or half that for the semester. Applicants will be selected on a competitive basis related to their expertise and research in these areas. By February 3, 1994, candidates should submit (1) a 100 word abstract, (2) an essay of approximately 1500 words detailing the proposed research (3) a full curriculum vita (4) two letters of recommendation. Inquiries and completed applications should be addressed to: Dr. Helen I. Safa Center for Latin American Studies University of Florida P.O. Box 115530 Gainesville, FL 32611-5530 PHONE: (904) 392-0375 FAX: (904) 392-7682
Fellows will be announced about April 1, and will be expected to take up residence for the Fall semester by the end of the following August.

Fellowships
The Getty Center for the History of Art and the Humanities, The Center Fellowships. The Center is dedicated to advanced research in the history of art, broadly defined as an integral part of human history and society. Its goal is to cross the traditional boundaries imposed on academic institutions by bringing together international scholars to reexamine the meaning of art and artifacts within past and present cultures and to reassess their importance within the full scope of the humanities and social sciences. The resources for scholarship, which include books, manuscripts, prints, drawings, documents, and photographs, are multidisciplinary with a particular focus on the history of visual arts in Western civilization.
The Center Fellowships provide support for predoctoral and postdoctoral scholars whose areas of research complement the programs and resources of the Center. Applications are welcomed from scholars in such fields of the humanities and social sciences as anthropology, cultural, intellectual, and social history; the history of art, architecture, and music; literary criticism and theory; and philosophy. Scholars may apply for either a predoctural or postdoctoral Fellowship. The Fellowship category will be determined, however, by the applicant's degree status at the beginning of the Fellowship period.Predoctoral Fellowships
