INSTITUTIONAL NEWS 71
Once again CLAH members have shown their support for this organization by attending CLAH
sponsored sessions at the AHA meeting. Thanks to the effort of various committees who planned for the
event, as well as the activities of the Secretariat, Latin American history was well represented.
Furthermore, it was heartwarming to see 130 members turn out for the annual luncheon. For the first
time we awarded prizes from the Lydia Cabrera fund for research on Cuban history. Three excellent
proposals were funded, and we will continue to award researchers after rebuilding our endowment for a
year or so. Our CLAH schedule for next year's AHA meeting at Atlanta promises to be extremely
exciting. Stay tuned for further details and encourage your colleagues to join CLAH and attend our
meetings.
This year I begin the first two-year CLAH presidency. During that time I hope to direct my attention to a
number of issues. First of all, I would like to create some thematic clusters that would enable the
program committee chairs to identify people interested in forming sessions linked around themes that cut
across geographic and chronological boundaries. Unlike the regional committees, these clusters would
not have to have special meetings (although they could). Initial suggestions for clusters
include:environmental history, gender and sexuality, labor studies, state building, and commodity
studies. I invite CLAH members to e-mail their reactions and suggestions to me (djg@ccit.arizona.edu)
or to the Secretariat (ilas@mail.auburn.edu).
Secondly, I would like to pursue a suggestion made by Charles Hale to explore the possibility of having
annual CLAH meetings apart from the AHA. Although our relations with the AHA are particularly good
with John Coatsworth serving as the AHA President, there have always been murmurs of a desire to
meet apart. This would not prevent us from suggesting panels to the AHA. Instead it would allow us to
meet in a smaller group to have our annual luncheon, cocktail party, and CLAH sessions in relative
isolation from the hustle and bustle of the AHA meeting. It would be possible to coordinate this meeting
with editorial board meetings of THE AMERICAS and the HAHR.
Fellow members have pondered this question in the past, but no methodical study has ever been
conducted to determine the feasibility of such a change. To find out if would be possible from a
strategic and economic perspective, I have asked Vice President Lyman Johnson to talk to colleagues
associated with the Organization of American Historians about how they organize their separate
meetings. I also invite CLAH members to respond to this inquiry by sending letters or e-mail messages
to me or to the Secretariat. Before any definitive decision is made, we will send Lyman's report and
referendum ballots to all CLAH members. By pursuing this suggestion I am in no way supporting or
opposing it; I would like, however, for members to consider the relative merits and disadvantages of
such a prospect.
Finally, I would like to thank all incoming committee members for their help during 1995. I especially
welcome David Weber who is serving as the chair of the new borderlands committee, and I urge all of
you to keep in touch with William Beezeley to help him put together the 1997 CLAH-AHA sessions.
We've gotten caught up with work following the Chicago meeting, where many of you met Sandy
Johnson, our wonderful secretary/assistant. Next year, when the AHA meets in Atlanta,you will also get
to meet Daniel Aragon, a Ph.D. student in Latin American history who helps out with overflow CLAH
work.
Among the innovations that make our work easier and more dependable, none beats e-mail. We're very
grateful to those of you who send us professional information, address changes,reports, announcements,
and the like over e-mail. Sandy even likes to chit-chat on e-mail, so drop her a line.
Sandy invited publishers of Latin American history to advertise in the CLAH newsletter, and Scholarly
Resources took us up on it, as you can see on the back page. Please encourage your publisher to
announce here, because it helps defray the cost of the newsletter.
At the general committee meeting we discussed a proposal to offer a journal subscription service with
the regular December CLAH dues form. Several journals have offered discounts to encourage such a
group subscription. The advantages would be lower cost, simpler paperwork, and a single tax-deductible
payment. Please let us know if you would like to see CLAH offer such a service.
We have decided to issue the membership directory in the Spring from now on, with a brief update in the
Fall. This allows us to get new addresses and telephone numbers out to you right after the annual
renewal forms come in. It also balances our printing and mailing costs between Spring and Fall.
The heft of the new directory reflects our growing numbers. With so many new members, we still
haven't gotten everyone's dues up to date, but we're working on it. Everyone must stay current for us to
be able to afford these services. Please check the date through which you are paid up.
In response to the general committee's recommendation that regional committees hold regular elections
for their officers,the secretariat will offer special balloting when these are needed. Contact us if your
committee would like such assistance.
We thought that you might enjoy knowing how many CLAH members we are and what categories. We
are now 914 members, comprising the following groups:
Complimentary Membership 4 .4%
Emeritus Membership 80 9.0%
Life Membership 62 7.0%
Professional Membership 590 65.0%
Student Membership 152 17.0%
Institutional Membership 26 3.0%
Let's keep trying to recruit new members, especially our graduate students. They are our future!

January 6, 1995 Florencia Mallon, President, opened the meeting by introducing herself and asking the
others present to do so also. General committee members included Elizabeth Kuznesof, Donna Guy,
Lowell Gudmundson, Don Olliff, and Mike Conniff. Also attending: Ann Wightman (96 Program),
Vince Peloso (The Americas), John Schwaller, Teresa Meade (Teaching and Teaching Materials
Committee), Linda Salvucci (International Scholarly Relations), Don Stevens (ComPAQH), Marshall
Eakin (Projects and Publications), and Phil Mueller (H-latam). Sandy Johnson represented the
Secretariat and took minutes.
The minutes from the January 1994 meeting were approved as submitted.
The Fall election results were announced. Lyman Johnson was elected Vice President and Ida Altman
and Alida Metcalf were elected general committee members. It was suggested that a letter be sent to all
committee members and other committee chairpersons who are to attend the general committee meeting,
telling them when and where the general committee meeting will be held. This should be done before
the end of the semester. A follow-up reminder could be sent at the end of December.
All of the proposed amendments passed. The President will serve a two-year term. A proposed
amendment to make The Americas editor an ex officio member of the general committee was
inadvertently left off the ballot. It was agreed, however, that The Americas editor would serve at the
invitation of the general committee. When other constitutional amendments are put on a ballot to be
voted on by the membership at-large, this will be included.
The Borderlands committee now exists, and David Weber has consented to be the Chairman. It was
suggested that the secretariat prepare a mailing list to persons who might be interested in joining CLAH.
The membership drive has been very successful. As of December 31, there are now approximately 870
members. The costs per new member recruited were quite low, and the secretariat will continue to do so
as time permits. Meanwhile, members who did not pay dues for two years are now removed from the
membership list to reduce costs.
The question of raising dues was brought up. Donna Guy suggested that the secretariat calculate the cost
of maintaining a member for one year. It was also suggested that perhaps offering subscriptions to
various journals along with membership renewal might bring in more members. Mike Conniff and Don
Olliff will submit a proposal along these lines to the general committee.
A preliminary financial report was given. Some of the expenses that seem very large were due to several
1993 expenses (including prize awards) were paid in January 1994, as were 1994 awards. Dennis
Hamlett, an Auburn accountant, will be doing a full audit of the CLAH books in February. An official
treasurer's report will printed in the Spring Newsletter, along with the auditor's statement.
The endowments, deposited in IDS-managed mutual funds, have not earned much interest this year
because of poor stock market conditions. It was decided to suspend the Cabrera Awards for one year,
since the 1994 awards exceeded earnings. Other unusual expenses included two Scobie awards for
$1000. The committee decided to return to the original Scobie award procedure, which was to cover an
international travel fare, not to exceed $1000. The Scobie announcement will be revised to reflect this
change. The awards and expenses need to be scaled back in order not to deplete the endowment
principal.
A Warren Dean Prize in environmental history was approved. It will be awarded every two to three
years for the best book or article on the subject. It should not exclude comparative studies. Barbara
Weinstein is going to start a fund drive for the prize. She reminded the committee that the Brazilian
studies committee session would be devoted to Warren's work.
The committee discussed responsibility for appointments to prize committees. In general, presidents
should make the appointments for the period in which they serve, and vice-presidents should make
appointments for their own terms. An amendment to the constitution may be needed to further specify
the vice president's role.
Donna Guy and Florencia Mallon will revise the CLAH calendar to adjust for moving the annual
meeting to January.
Ann Wightman, the 1996 program chair, requested that the program chairman be appointed two years
before the program takes place. She presented a partial list of panels that had been submitted and the
committee agreed to accept them for submission to the AHA program committee.
Phil Mueller noted that the H-LATAM Gopher is available and carries CLAH Newsletters and the
constitution/bylaws. It has also been used to recruit members for CLAH.
The regional committee elections need to be more democratic in the future. The Secretariat can issue a
call for nominations to regional committee members and can help with the printing,mailing, and
counting of ballots. There was some discussion of whether a regular term for officers would help
promote sharing responsibility among members.
Teresa Meade, of the Teaching and Teaching Materials Committee, reported that H-LATAM helps
improve teaching by allowing people to share ideas, sources, and techniques on e-mail. The committee
has commissioned articles, on video in the classroom and the use of adjunct texts, for regular columns in
the Newsletter. They held a panel on "Teaching the Survey Course," which 30 people attended.
Marshall Eakin, of the Projects and Publications Committee, reported that he and Teresa Meade are
working on an anthology of articles aimed at advanced undergraduates and graduate students, on the
development of the field of Latin American history. This would be a successor to Howard Cline's 2
volume work. Donna Guy suggested revising the Lombardi's Historical Atlas because it brought in
considerable revenue from royalties. It would need revised maps. Florencia Mallon said she could help
consult with the University of Wisconsin regarding these projects.
Linda Salvucci reported that the Int'l Scholarly Relations Committee will serve as a clearinghouse for
information and lobbying and asked about the extent to which it can operate on its own in pursuing
goals. Committee member Ken Andrien will draft a letter, on behalf of CLAH, expressing concern
about plans to evict the National Archives of Ecuador from its current location. The committee may
seek to establish a relationship with MAPFRE, a Spanish foundation interested in preserving documents.
Salvucci pointed out that the AHA was not currently engaged in much activity regarding scholarly
relations with Latin America, so that there should be plenty for CLAH to do. She solicited suggestions
for future projects.
The meeting adjourned at 9:30 am.
CLAH would like to thank the following persons for their generous donations to several of the
endowment funds.
General Endowment Fund - Charles Hale
Lewis Hanke Fund - Richard Graham, Jane Rausch, Jody Hanke Schwarz
Warren Dean Fund - Donna Guy, Elinor Melville, Barbara Weinstein

POPULATION AND QUANTITATIVE HISTORY COMMITTEE (ComPAQH)
Approximately twenty Latin Americanists attended the annual meeting of ComPAQH. During the brief
business portion of the meeting the committee chair, Donald Stevens (Drexel University), reported on
the continuing activities of the committee. Robert McCaa (University of Minnesota) editor of The Latin
American Population History Bulletin has secured funding for three years from the University of
Minnesota; Richard Garner (Penn State),editor of The Latin American Economic History Newsletter,
expects to have his next edition ready soon, and to distribute it principally via the Internet, though paper
copies will still be sent to some subscribers. Questions of copyright still beset Garner's plan to set up a
data bank. The committee also discussed the possibility of coordinating and distributing problem sets for
use in teaching Latin American economic history.
The committee's invited speaker, Richard Salvucci (Trinity University), entitled his remarks "I Don't
Like What You're Saying and I Don't Like The Way You Say It: Why Almost No One Likes Quantitative
History and Why I Frankly Don't Give A Damn." Salvucci began with a review of trends in
quantification in Latin American history which he measured as the average annual number of tables in
articles in the HAHR at five year intervals and by counting the number of quantitative monographs that
appeared annually. Prior to the early 1970s, the HAHR published few articles with tables. The average
number was well below one per article and peaked at 0.59 in 1943. During the early 1970s there was an
explosion of tables in articles, an average of 2.35. Although the average number of tables in articles and
quantitative monographs per year fell in the late 1970s and early 1980s, both indexes picked up in the
late 1980s and remain at historically high levels. Salvucci concluded that rather than disappearing after
an initial explosion, quantitative methods have become a routine part of Latin American history.
Having established that quantitative research is not disappearing, Salvucci discussed some of the reasons
why its critics perhaps wish it would. These were: (1) that quantitative research is boring, (2) that it is
obscure, (3)that it is impersonal; (4) that the data is all nonsense, and (5) that it is politically retrograde.
After refuting these objections with an astute analysis enlivened by colorful anecdotes, Salvucci
concluded that neither critics nor practitioners of this approach should regard quantitative research as
definitive, objective, or value-free. He affirmed his conviction that quantification is an appropriate and
useful approach to historical study. A genial discussion followed.

THE TEACHING AND TEACHING MATERIALS COMMITTEE
The Teaching and Teaching Materials Committee and the Projects and Publications Committee jointly
sponsored a round table discussion, "Supplying the Latin American Survey Course: Textbooks and
Materials for the 1990s' College Classroom." The session, on Thursday, January 5, 5:30-7:30 PM
featured a lively interaction between the college teachers and publishers of textbooks and readers. More
than thirty people attended the session.
Teresa Meade (Union College), Chair of the Teaching Committee and Marshall Eakin (Vanderbilt
University), Chair of the Publications Committee co-chaired the round table and offered comments for
discussion.
Susan Besse, City College-CUNY, discussed the need for pedagogically innovative readers with longer
selections of primary documents and a combination of commentaries, statistics, visuals, maps and
newspapers. Readers that include a variety of primary and secondary sources teach students to read
critically and introduce them to a variety of historical sources. Julio Pino, Kent State University,
discussed the need for textbooks that address the experiences of Latin American people. He critiqued
existing texts for failing to place Latin Americans at the center of their own history. Christopher
Johnson, Oxford University Press, and Richard Hopper, Scholarly Resources, Inc. discussed the various
texts published by their respective presses, emphasizing the number of copies that a publisher must sell
in order to turn a profit in the narrow Latin American marketplace. Nonetheless, the publishers stated
that this is a growing field and one that turns a handsome profit for publishers.
In the lively discussion that followed the presentations members of the audience stated their frustrations
with the currently available texts. Many professors noted that the books are boring and not well written,
tend to emphasize political and military events at the expense of cultural, biographical, and social
history. Several people suggested that publishers need to pay closer attention to the readability of texts.
They should try to enlist senior scholars in an effort to produce broad, synthetic interpretations of Latin
American history.
The fact that the session was so well-attended on a night before the opening of the AHA, indicates that
there is a strong interest in obtaining up-to-date textbooks for the Latin American survey course.
Teresa Meade, Union College
TEACHING LATIN AMERICAN HISTORY This review continues the regular column on teaching-related issues, sponsored by the CLAH Teaching
Materials Committee.
Essays on Latin American Films
This essay on films and videos continues the regular column on teaching-related issues, sponsored by the
CLAH Teaching Materials Committee.
The increase in the number and variety of films and videos for use in the classroom has greatly enhanced
the teaching of Latin American history. The availability of videos through CD ROM has even greater
potential. Space permits mention of only a handful of films which members have used with success in
stimulating class discussion and portraying those aspects of Latin American culture best portrayed
visually. This essay excludes Mexico, which merits an essay on its own.
Many of the current films on Central America reflect the themes of guerrilla warfare and indigenous
cultures. Refugees in Our Backyard (Icarus) examines the violence and poverty causing flight, as well as
public reaction to the entrance of undocumented aliens in the United States. Maria's Story (Film makers
Library) demonstrates daily adversity on a personal level by following the mother of three who doubles
as a leader of the country's guerrilla movement. Filmed on site, it shows Maria's commitment to social
change in the face of rural poverty. Icarus Films offers A Question of Conscience which treats the
highly publicized and shocking murder of 6 Jesuit priests, their cook and her daughter, in 1989, as well
as El Salvador The Seeds of Liberty which deals with the 1980 murder of three nuns and lay missionary,
Jean Donovan. The feature film, Romero, starring Raul Julia, shows how reality transformed this
country pastor into a defender of El Salvador's oppressed, leading to his martyrdom.
Contemporary life in a Guatemalan Mayan village is documented in the two films from Icarus: Todos
Santos Cuchumatan: Report from a Guatemalan Village (before the 1980s violence) and Todods Santos:
The Survivors (how the violence changed the village and led to the flight to Guatemala City and
Mexico). Both films were Blue Ribbon Winners at the American Film Festival in 1983 and 1990
respectively. On this same theme is Rigoberta Menchu: Broken Silence. This new release from Films
for the Humanities and Sciences works well when coordinated with I, Rigoberta Menchu, ed. Elisabeth
Burgos-Debray.
Films on Caribbean countries are more difficult to locate than for the rest of Latin America, with the
exception of Cuba. Particularly effective is Cuba--In the Shadow of Doubt (Film makers Library) an
historical treatment of Castro's rise to power and dominance. It is one of the few films shot on location
at La Plata. Also useful is the two part documentary filmed on site: Cuba: The People. Part I aired in
1974 while Part II covers events into the 1980s. With the increasing attention on Haiti one can hope for
more films on that country. Two useful ones are Bitter Cane depicting the poverty, class, turmoil and
economic difficulties (The Cinema Guild) and Voodoo and the Church in Haiti. The latter is available
from the University of California Extension which provides numerous films with an anthropological
perspective.
A number of recent films focus on the violence of guerrilla movements and drug mafia. Rodrigo D: No
Futuro is an excellent Colombian film dealing with the life of a sicario or assigned killer. Lines of
Blood The Drug War in Colombia (Film makers Library) shows the impact of cocaine traffic on
political, social, and economic life in Colombia and criticizes U.S. methods used to halt the drug traffic.
An excellent film on Peru's Sendero Luminoso is La boca del lobo/The Lion's Den, (Facets Videos in
Chicago). Fire in the Andes (Icarus) also depicts the political violence of the Shining Path, particularly
in the villages.
An increasing number of films are available on daily life in the Andean countries. Alpaca Breeders of
Chimboya focusses on a small Andean village marketing alpaca fleece and Icemen of Chimborazo
shows Indian peasant ice cutters working in the glaciers for $4.00 a week to supply ice to a nearby
market town. Both are available through Icarus. Also of interest is I Spent My Life in the Mines, an
autobiography of a Bolivian miner. For the urban scene, see Growing Up in the South, a documentary of
street kids in Cusco, Peru, and Villa El Salvador: A Desert Dream, an optimistic portrayal of a squatter
settlement in Lima. The last three films are available from Cinema Guild.
Military governments and the desaparecidos in Argentina and Chile have attracted many film makers.
The Official Story poignantly relates that grim period in Argentina. Veronico Cruz, with stunning
photography, details the life of a small boy growing up in Salta during the years of military repression
just prior to the Malvinas War. It also demonstrates the problems teachers face in remote parts of Latin
America (Facets). Also useful is Funny Dirty Little War (Facets), a black comedy about leftists and
Peronists battling in a provincial town at the onset of the Dirty War. For a good documentary on
Argentinean's conflict with Britain, try Battle for the Falklands (Facets). General Pinocet is the focus of
Chile: Hasta Cuando? with flashbacks to 1973 and the violence which followed the coup (Film makers
Library). In Don't Threaten Me (Icarus) Chilean film maker Juan Andres Racz documents the years
1988 to 1990 and the return to democracy. On the lighter side is El Abrazo which puts the tango in
historical context with some of the finest tango artists (Films for the Humanities). Also entertaining is
Tango Bar (Facets) with Raul Julia.
Films on Brazil emphasize a variety of themes. Bye Bye Brasil is a wonderful satire on city slickers who
try to exploit "backwards" rural folk and indigenous people, only to have the tables turned. Pixote is a
gripping, accurate film about the life and death of street children. Hour of the Star features a socially
deprived girl from the Northeast trying to make a life for herself in Rio. The Story of Fausta is
particularly good in its portrayal of contemporary life in the favela. The above are available through
Facets Video. The Cinema Guild offers several films on many of these same themes: Favelas, depicts
the slums of Sao Paulo and The Children's War chronicles the plight of homeless children.
Brazil's Amazon and frontier have fascinated U.S. film makers. A few years ago, PBS Frontline
sponsored a five part series on the Amazon, The Decade of Destruction, written by Adrian Cowell and
Michael Kirk and directed by Cowell. An excellent documentary on road building in Rondonia and the
role of the World Bank is Banking on Disaster (Bullfrog Films). This latter film has good footage on
Chico Mendez, the focus of a PBS Frontline special, Murder in the Amazon. Film makers Library offers
Contact: The Yanomami Indians of Brazil, a documentary of the once isolated tribe. Bahia: Africa in the
Americas treats the rich culture of Brazil's northeast while Hail Umbanda depicts Brazil's growing
religion with roots in Catholicism, and African and Native American religions (U. of California).
The changing status of women in developing countries has attracted the attention of several film
companies, particularly women's transition from rural to urban life. One of the leaders in this field, with
a large number of titles, is Women Make Movies. For a complete listing on selections for Latin
America, write to Women Make Movies, Inc. 462 Broadway, Suite 500, NY, NY 10013.
Two Cuban films show the change in gender relations over time: Humberto's Sola's classic Lucia (1969)
and Pastor Vega's Retrato de Teresa (1979). Lucia is particularly good for its perspective on women in
three periods of Cuban history (Independence, the Machado years, and the coming of Castro in 1959). A
fine example of women in both urban and rural settings is Double Day (the Cinema Guild) which
includes Domitila Barrios de Chungara as a spokesperson for Andean women in the mines. Using her
book LET ME SPEAK! adds to a student's understanding of the issues. Simplemente Jenny (The
Cinema Guild) is a compelling film of the trauma that young women suffer in their efforts to survive.
Although an older film, the issues are current.
Feature films are always popular with students and can effectively convey important themes. Here are a
few favorites in addition to those interspersed above. El Norte, depicts the flight of Guatemalans to
California; The Mission (incredibly beautiful for its photography and sound track) dramatizes the Jesuit
entrance and expulsion in Paraguay; Black Orpheus places the myth within the context of life in a
Brazilian favela at carnival time; Gabriela (Sonya Braga, Marcello Mastroianni) a bawdy film comedy
based on Jorge Amado's novel and filmed in the coastal town of Paragi. Several films focus on military
governments and repression: Kiss of the Spider Woman based on Manuel Pluig's novel takes place in a
prison cell someplace in Latin America; Missing treats U.S. intervention in the Chilean coup of 1973;
and State of Siege, views Uruguay in the repressive 1970s. For excellent examples of magical realism
see Erendira, based on a short story by Gabriel Garcia Marquez in the Colombian backcountry; and
Dona Flor and her Two Husbands, based on a novel by Jorge Amado and providing a hilarious
commentary on bourgeois mores in Brazil.
In the last few years, several television series have focused on Latin America. The PBS ten part
Americas is offered as a college credit telecourse. But if one cannot justify showing all ten episodes, one
can choose those which are most appropriate to the course. Program 4, Mirrors of the Heart, is
especially good in explaining ethnic and racial lines which are often difficult to convey in lecture. The
five-part series by Films for the Humanities and Sciences, Columbus and the Age of Discovery is
excellent and can be used selectively depending on the nature of the course. Part 4, The Columbian
Exchange, works well and may be used in conjunction with Alfred Crosby's The Columbian Exchange.
The Buried Mirror, a five-part series hosted by Carlos Fuentes, covers the cultural differences in the
Hispanic world. These films can be used individually land are available from Insight Media. They may
be supplemented by the beautifully illustrated monography by Carlos Fuentes, The Buried Mirror:
Reflections on Spain and the New World (Houghton Mifflin, 1992). National Geographic and Frontline
specials on PBS have provided excellent programs which may be purchased for classroom use.
This essay does not attempt to categorize films, but is an effort to indicate what is available and list a
few of the favorites of professors and students. The inclusion of documentaries, feature films, foreign
and domestic films demonstrates the need for a catalog of films appropriate for use in Latin American
classes. Films could be annotated and cross referenced giving information on cost, themes,
chronological period, length, format, supplier, etc. Perhaps this essay will generate interest in this larger
project or at a minimum encourage an exchange of film titles over the internet.

BRAZILIAN STUDIES COMMITTEE
Barbara Weinstein chaired the meeting, which focused on Warren Dean's contributions to Brazilian
history. George Reid Andrews, Maria Ligia Prado, Michael Conniff, Robert Slenes, and Sueann
Caulfield each spoke for about fifteen minutes on different aspects of Dean's work. The audience
included about twenty-five members and Warren Dean's widow, Elizabeth McArdle Dean.
George Reid Andrews pointed to the ways that Dean's first book, The Industrialization of São Paulo, was
marked by the encounter of the liberal social science theory in which Dean was trained in the United
States and the Marxian perceptions of the Brazilian scholars Dean encountered in São Paulo of the
1970s. The divergence between the methodologies and theoretical precepts of Brazilian scholars and
those of "Brazilianists" from the United States was a constant tension, particularly for Dean's generation.
Dean's concern to learn from Brazilian colleagues and to integrate his work into Brazilian scholarship
led him to confront this tension in a way that gave the book many of its strengths. Dean's approach,
however, led him to under estimate the transformations brought by industrialization. For this reason,
Dean's second book searched farther back to the plantation experience to explain the process of social
change and economic development.
Maria Ligia Prado followed with an account of the reception of Dean's work in Brazil. Observing the
tremendous impact of his first book, Industrialization in São Paulo, Prado explained its importance as
the result of its formidable empirical basis and analytical rigor and, most importantly, the timeliness of
its publication (1970). The historical moment was particularly ripe for renewed debate over the
character of the Brazilian ruling class and the process of Brazilian history, for social revolution seemed a
possible, if not inevitable, outcome of the extreme oppression of the late 1960s and early 1970s. Dean's
conclusion that coffee planters, importers, and industrialists formed tightly linked, overlapping groups
was absolutely heretical to those schooled in European models of historical development. Dean's work
was controversial for its immediate political implications--if capitalism had advanced in Brazil without
a"bourgeois revolution," then what future path would revolution take? While Brazilian intellectuals
were eager to criticize orthodox models of Brazilian history, many were not willing to accept what
seemed extreme conclusions in the work of Dean and the group of Brazilian intellectuals to which he
belonged. Nonetheless, Prado observed, the book became a standard reference, cited widely by
divergent authors writing on development and industrialization. Dean's subsequent work made much
less of an impact than Industrialization in São Paulo, which underscores, once again, its remarkable
timeliness.
Robert Slenes agreed with Prado that Dean's first book made a greater immediate impact than his
subsequent work. Slenes argued, however, that Dean's second book, Rio Claro: A Brazilian Plantation
System, 1820-1920, was equally influential, though a generation after its publication. Slenes suggested
that the work of historians such as himself or Silvia Lara, Sidney Chalhoub, and others have picked up
on themes developed in Rio Claro. In particular, this younger generation of scholars has admired Dean's
attention to the agency of slaves. Further, Dean was among the first to demonstrate that Stanley Stein's
forays into notarial archives in Vassouras could be replicated in other Brazilian regions with a variety of
results, and Rio Claro prompted a wave of studies of these rich and largely untapped sources.
Slenes also noted that Dean's concern with all kinds of destructive exploitation--of humans or of
nature--was apparent in the very opening of Rio Claro, foreshadowing his subsequent focus on
environmental history. Michael Conniff commented further on Dean's concern with the ecology.
Echoing the other panelists,Conniff remarked that this concern was characteristic of the path-breaking
nature of Dean's scholarship. Conniff commented that ecological history was becoming more prominent
as the political force of conservationism grew through the 1980s and 1990s, and speculated that Dean's
posthumous book, with Broadax and Firebrand might spearhead a new area of historical concern in
Brazil.
Sueann Caulfield, one of Dean's former students, concluded the panel by observing that the strengths of
Dean's scholarship, noted by the other panelists, were also the strengths of his professional relationships
and pedagogy. He taught by personal example, demonstrating not in word but in deed his commitment
to rigorous empirical research, principled and relevant historical inquiry, and egalitarian human
relations. Most forcefully, his example taught profound respect for those potentially affected by the
historian's work, whether students, colleagues, historical subjects, or trees.
Barbara Weinstein opened the floor to further comments by the audience. Several in the audience
recounted their memories of Dean's professionalism and political commitments. Weinstein called the
meeting adjourned.

CHILE-RIO DE LA PLATA STUDIES COMMITTEE Approximately thirty people attended the 1995 meeting of the Chile-Rio de la Plata Studies Committee
in which the topic was Populism in Comparative Perspective. It was hoped that the session would
provoke discussion on the nature of populism. There were two presentations. The first by Michael
Monteon(University of California, San Diego) compared the populist experiences in Mexico and Chile
in the 1930s and 1940s. Monteon argued that a real parallel exists between the two countries. In both
countries populism began in the wake of the depression, involved redistributive politics, regulated the
work place and did not permit real incorporation of workers into the political system. He argued that in
both countries populist front rhetoric was important but many of the real gains were made by the middle
class through the expansion of the bureaucracy. Monteon also gave a detailed examination of the key
characteristics of populism in each country.
The other presentation, by Mariano B. Plotkin (Harvard University), discussed problems with how the
concept of populism has been used and how Peronism can be discussed within that framework. Plotkin
observed that the term was first used in Latin America by intellectuals to describe movements of workers
who did not follow the path of European workers. The existing definitions, whether derived from
Torcuato Di Tella or Ernest Laclau, when compared to the actual nature of Peronism do not seem to
work. Plotkin argued that instead of a definition, a listing of characteristics ought to be made and that
more attention should be focused on Laclau's concept of political imagery. For example, how Peron
attempted to reformulate the political culture of Argentina.
The two papers provoked a lively discussion of what populism is and how we ought to define it from
many in the audience. There was little consensus beyond the existence of something that can be labeled
populism.
In addition, the attendees, at the urging of CLAH president Donna Guy, adopted the idea of having the
secretary elected by a mail ballot sent by the CLAH Secretariat to all the members of the Committee.
The hope was that this would encourage greater interest in the Committee.

GRAN COLOMBIAN COMMITTEE
The Gran Colombianista regional session was held on Saturday, January 7 and consisted of three papers
broadly related to the theme, "Discourse Approaches to Gran Colombian History". The session attracted
around 25 people, including several new faces. The audience served as commenters/questioners
following the presentations.
David Sowell (Juniata College) spoke on "Medical Systems and Social Conflict: Healing, Ideology, and
Power in the Nineteenth-Century Andes." By examining the career of Miguel Perdomo Neira, a
"traveling empiric" (lay physician) in highland Ecuador and Colombia during the 1870s. Sowell pursues
a dual project of "locating medical ideologies" during the transitional nineteenth century in Latin
America and a more general social-historical inquiry into popular and elite understandings of faith,
progress, and the intersections of civil society and politics. Both in the Bogotá of the Radical Olympus
and the Quito of Garcia Moreno. Perdomo's healing exploits provoked widespread debate (and judicial
proceedings...much of the traveling empiric's traveling was less than voluntary). Audience comments
focused on possible source materials and broader Latin American comparisons.
Arlene Diaz (University of Minnesota) spoke on "Women, Order, and Progress in Guzman Blanco's
Venezuela, 1870-1888." Using material from the official La Opinion Nacional, Diaz suggests that not
only did the Guzman Blanco regime have a position on women's roles and representations, but that its
positions was integral to its liberal-positivist project for Venezuela generally. Women were, in brief, to
be "an important pillar of the social edifice," essential to the de-barbarianization on Venezuelan society.
Diaz notes, however, that the 1873 Civil Code represented little progress in women's rights. Comments
focused on the possible impact of social groups (most obviously, women) on regime discourse, and on
the ever-slippery relationship between discourse and deed.
Medofilo Medina (Universidad Nacional de Colombia) spoke on "Un politico de la costa colombiana:
Saul Charris de la Hoz." Medina's current project is notable both for its theme--the nexus between local
and national politics in 20th century Colombia--and for its oral history/testimonio methodology. The
career of Charris, a life-long Liberal politician (with gaitanista and anapists digressions), illustrates many
of the modalities of recruitment into the party system which give Colombian política pueblerina its
character. Charris eschewed baldfaced costeño clientelism in favor of more subtle appeals, which makes
him an especially rich historical case. Comments focused on the tensions of the testimonio method, such
as, the balance between trusting interlocutor and objective investigator, and the difficulty of finding
corroborative materials. One noteworthy detail is that Prof. Medina was able to attend thanks to
financial support from Colciencias and the U. Nacional, a heartening show of support for historical
research in Colombia, and its diffusion worldwide.

MEXICAN STUDIES COMMITTEE
The Mexican Studies Committee session chaired by Susan M. Deeds (Northern Arizona University) and
attended by 50 people, gave lively notice of the high quality and inventiveness of professional historians
entering the field. In a roundtable discussion on "The National Period in Mexican History: Theory and
Method in Dissertation research of the Post-Modern (But Not Post-Revolutionary) Present," seven
scholars, who have recently completed Ph.D.'s or are nearly finished, addressed the current direction of
modern Mexican historiography. Brief sketches of their projects and heuristic frameworks revealed
ways in which they have been influenced by recent theoretical and comparative approaches to study of
the modern nation-state. A shared concern for analysis of hegemony and resistance is evident in the
following outline of presenters and topics: Cristina Rivera-Garza (University of Houston) on attempted
interventions of the modernizing state (1867-1930) in areas of public welfare, public health and family
relations; Jeffrey Pilcher (The Citadel) on how urban, middle-class Mexican women influenced the 20th-century creation of Mexican national identity through a corn-based cuisine; Anne Rubenstein (Chapman
University) on the relationship between the state, conservatives, comic books and cultural hegemony,
1934-1976; Eric Zolov (University of Chicago) on how the history of rock and roll in Mexico (1955-75)
contributes to an understanding of national and transnational cultural production and representation;
John Sherman (Wright State University) on the tensions between right-wing and revolutionary forces
within the political culture of the 30s; Blen Kuecker (Rutgers University) on the articulation of local ,
national and global forces in transforming space (encompassing not only land tenure and use, but also
social, political and cultural patterns) in oil-producing and northeastern Veracruz, 1870-1920; and
Patrick McNamara (University of Wisconsin) on the evolution of an indigenous nationalism in the Sierra
Zapoteca, 1867-1940, which emphasized local political autonomy, economic independence, and cultural
militancy. the discussion that followed focused on several common themes of this new research, among
them: the tendency to de-center the Revolution's place in Mexican history; the influence of sub-altern
studies ad other theoretical approaches which examine hegemonic processes from both the top down and
the bottom up; and the continued contestation across Porfirian, revolutionary and post-revolutionary time
of competing visions at the most basic tier (i.e., local, individual, family, or community) and at the
national level. The current Mexican regime is unquestionably post-revolutionary, but its
counterhegemonic transcript is no longer so hidden.

INSIDERS AND OUTSIDERS: TRANSNATIONAL PERSPECTIVES ON FOREIGN
INFLUENCE IN LATIN AMERICA
Recent concern with the intersections of culture and political economy, historical agency, and the lived
complexity of social and political life are producing new questions about the nature and outcomes of
foreign-local encounters. Turning away from dichotomous structural models that see only power and
resistance, or exploiters and victims, we are beginning to attend to the multiplicity of voices,
perspectives, and meanings generated in intercultural contexts and to explore the variety of interactions,
tensions, negotiations and accommodations that occurred. This panel served up a healthy portion of new
research on foreign-local encounters.
William Shell (Murray State University) began the session with a paper on "Integral Outsiders: The
North American Colony in Porfirian Mexico." Shell challenged the audience to rethink facile
juxtapositions of Latin American "insiders" and "foreign outsiders", of "self" and "other". Drawing upon
his doctoral research on the political, economic, and cultural relations of the U.S. colony in Mexico City
at the turn of the century, he argued compellingly that as Mexicans were "Americanized", so too were
Americans "Mexicanized". In the process, they became "integral outsiders", whose identities and
interests mirrored those of their Mexican counterparts and frequently set them at odds with Washington's
geopolitics. Shell pointed out that, on occasion, even U.S. Ambassador David Thompson served as a
virtual minister without portfolio to Mexican President Porfirio Díaz. In this capacity the ambassador
adeptly manipulated Washington to help suppress anti-Díaz movements in the United States and also
played a key role in the orchestration of the heralded Creelman interview, which ironically triggered the
succession crisis that toppled the Díaz regime.
In "Costa Rican Encounters with Rockefeller Public Health (1914-1921)," Steven Palmer (Université de
Montréal) explored how Costa Rican positivist reformers, many of them staunch anti-imperialists,
worked through the Rockefeller Foundation's anti-hookworm program to overcome elite resistance to the
implementation of locally-formulated, interventionist social policies. Often it is argued that foreign
intrusion diminishes the ability of Latin American social groups and states to take autonomous measures
toward self-determined ends. Palmer suggested that it is important to focus not only on what foreign
organizations do, but also on how they are used by locals in their often pivotal struggles with each other.
In Costa Rica, the presence of the Rockefeller Foundation indirectly contributed to the strengthening of
the state in the 1920s.
In "Living in Macondo: Economy and Culture in a United Fruit Banana Enclave, 1880-1930," Catherine
LeGrand (McGill University), questioned the image of the foreign enclave as a blank slate suddenly
transformed by the "penetration of capitalism" in the guise of a powerful foreign company. She stressed
that locals were actors too, with their own economic strategies, politics, interpretations, and memories,
and argued that, in order to function, the foreign company had to adapt to the local context. She
explored how the earlier history of the Santa Marta banana region in Colombia influenced the evolution
of land tenure and social organization during the United Fruit Company period; the multiple links by
which people in the zone connected themselves to the outside world; and cultural expressions and
meanings that emerged from the interactions of locals and foreigners. Remarking that different sub-regions within foreign enclaves may follow divergent historical trajectories, she also sought to explain
the emergence of a subculture of resistance to the United Fruit Company centered on the town of
Ciénaga, site of the banana massacre of 1928 portrayed in One Hundred Years of Solitude.
Discussant Louis A.Pérez, Jr. (University of North Carolina) noted that Latin Americans were not
passive recipients of new values, institutions and techniques. Central to the selective, pragmatic
appropriation of new modalities was the expectation that they would serve local interests. Pérez
emphasized the unpredictability of the outcomes of local-foreign interactions, and he questioned how to
talk about the foreign presence and "hegemony", "influence", "community", "identity" and "national
integration". He suggested that foreign influence may be most deeply felt through the appropriation of
alternative normative definitions of reality, that is, alternative options and possibilities derived from
North American sources which become readily available and perceived as "normal" and "everyday". He
pointed to the centrality of this capacity to make what is foreign seem national, indeed even natural.
Once naturalized, the "foreign" can serve as a means to strengthen national integration or as a source of
vulnerability and the loss of national identity.
A Lively discussion followed the discussant's remarks. The session was attended by approximately 35
people.

RANCHING LABOR AND THE ENVIRONMENT
The "Ranching Labor and the Environment in the Americas: A Comparative Perspective" session met as
scheduled, with all participants present excepting commentator Manuel Machado Jr., who faxed his
comments to the chair. Attendance at the session, considering its time-slot on Thursday evening, was
exceptional.Approximately twenty-five audience members received all the papers warmly, and there was
a lively discussion following the comments.
Elinor Melville's paper, "Adoption of Ranching by Indians in Sixteenth-Century Mexico," focused on the
adoption of ranching by the Otomi people of central Mexico. Their preference for sheep over cattle
allowed them to adopt the Spanish livestock without altering their land-use patterns. Until the end of the
sixteenth-century they also managed to maintain control over considerable amounts of grazing lands
despite Spanish encroachments. As grazing altered the landscape, however, brush and mesquite replaced
the original grasses and sheep declined in favor of cattle. The Otomi did not make the switch, and as the
seventeenth century progressed became increasingly isolated.
Warren Elofson focused his paper, "Adapting to the Frontier Environment: Labor on Ranches and Farms
in the Foothills of Alberta, Canada,1881-1914," on the transformation of cattle raising operations in
southern Alberta from pure ranching to mixed farming. According to Elofson the first cattlemen to enter
the region believed it ideally suited for pure ranching,that is, reliance on open-range grazing, but as the
environmental conditions of the region became obvious--extremely long and often harsh
winters--ranchers started to put up winter stocks of feed. Soon they were planting grain and vegetables
and raising barnyard animals on a commercial basis.Consequently, farm hands replaced cowboys and
ranches became farms, although the former label continued to be applied to these enterprises.
Robert Wilcox rounded out the session with a paper on "Ranching on the Brazilian Frontier:
Environment and Cowboys in Mato Grosso, 1870-1940." As in the case of the other two papers, this one
too gave critical attention to the role of the environment in shaping livestock practices. The wetlands
ranching practiced in this part of Brazil required cowboys to employ canoes during the rainy season to
move cattle to higher ground, made barbed wire impractical because it impeded cattle movement away
from flooding, and required ranchers to have considerable knowledge of climatic conditions in order to
succeed. The introduction of Zebu cattle and scientific breeding practices were long delayed in the
region because market forces did not provide sufficient pressure for such innovations until well into the
twentieth century.
Session chair Jesus de la Teja then read the comments submitted by Manuel Machado, who was unable
to attend because of budgetary restraints.Machado found the papers taking the history of ranching in new
and very different directions from what was of interest when he started in the field decades ago. He too
noted the importance of environmental factors in this new ranching history. He noted, however, that the
papers tended not to take note of the work of earlier historians in the field and that they seemed too
narrowly focused.
Audience comments were favorable to the papers. One audience member, reference to the comments,
noted that only through the kind of primary-source research on such local subjects, will broader more
synthetic studies be possible in the future. The session also produced discussion on the possibility of
putting together an anthology of studies on pastoral economies in the Americas.
Jesus F. de la Teja, chair
WHAT DIFFERENCE DOES GENDER MAKE
The three papers and two commentaries presented at this session initiated a dialogue on gendered
approaches to 20th century politics and policies. The contributions demonstrated how the state, political
parties, and political leaders have consciously implemented policies which were directed towards
women and/or families to mobilize new societal elements.
Professor May Kay Vaughan (University of Illinois at Chicago) presented a paper co-authored with
Professor Heather Fowler-Salamini (Bradley University) on gender in agrarian politics of the Mexican
Revolution. Challenging the notion that agrarian politics following the Mexican Revolution of 1910
were based exclusively upon static masculine patron-client relationships, Vaughan and Fowler-Salamini
argued that an examination of agrarian politics and policies in the 1920s and 1930s displayed a new
emphasis on mobilizing rural women into at least a partial form of national citizenship. During the 20s
and 30s first populist agrarian leaders and then state policy makers attempted to reshape agrarian policies
stressing the inclusion of women in the mobilization of rural families into popular organizations and a
modernizing agrarian sector. While some of these policies were embraced, others were resisted by
agrarian communities before the 1940s. A gendered approach to agrarian politics suggests a need to
reassess the importance of the traditional political (and highly masculine) boundary of 1940, which does
not take into account the continuing socioeconomic transformations in the countryside.
Sandra McGee Deutsch (University of Texas-El Paso) questioned the vision of the extreme right in the
ABC countries adhering to an inflexible gendered ideology or male-centered political agenda during the
1930s. She discussed how the study of gender highlights the extreme right's adaptability, ideological
ambiguity, and the disagreement among such movements on this issue. The Chilean and Brazilian
extreme right movements changed their ideas and practices on female participation in politics in
response to perceived political openings. On the other hand, Argentine nationalists displayed less
interest in participating in politics. Finally, McGee Deutsch delineated the gender component of the
extreme right's ideology. Appropriating the feminist label from the left, they argued their movements
offered a radical approach to restoring women's exalted position in the household and ensuring that men
respected their role.
Neicy Zeller and Margaret Power of the (University of Illinois at Chicago) presented their research
findings on women and conservative politics in the Dominican Republic and Chile between 1961-78.
Zeller analyzed the gendered discourse of Joaquín Balaquer in his peace and conciliation campaign,
where women were portrayed as the mothers and guardians of the nation. As president, Balaquer
implemented programs designed to elevate women to positions within the bureaucracy and to integrate
them into his state-sponsored philanthropic societies. In her study of right-wing politics in the 1970
Chilean presidential campaign, Powers showed how the concept of the fatherland was identified with the
home. Just as in the 1930s, the Chilean right saw the female vote and women's participation in
conservative politics as key to its political success.
The two commentarists, Asunción Lavrín (Howard University) and Joel Wolfe (Williams College) both
suggested that we must work towards the study of gendered politics from the perspective of a female
protagonist. Lavrín wondered whether the constructions of femininity, motherhood, and virtues of
womanhood in the 1930s were still hindering effective change in women's roles in politics. A discussion
followed. The session was attended by approximately 40 persons.

DENATIONALIZING CENTRAL AMERICAN HISTORY
A Panel entitled "Denationalizing Central American History: Revisionist Contributions from Below,"
ably organized by Todd Little-Siebod (Lewis & Clark College), was presented at the January, 1995
American Historical Association meetings held in Chicago. Christopher Lutz (Plumsock Mesoamerican
Studies) introduced the panel by giving an overview of the modern historiography of regional and
subregional studies in Central America, starting with the publication of Murdo J. MacLeod's Spanish
Central America: A Socioeconomic History, 1520-1720 in 1973, and, among other topics, discussed the
influence of anthropologists on the study of towns and subregions both before and after that date. Lutz
also pointed out the trend toward the Central Americanization of the region's history, especially with the
recent establishment of a maestría and, in 1995, a doctoral program in Central American history at the
Centro de Investigaciones Históricas de América Central of the Universidad de Costa Rica.
The four papers presented in this panel included three on Guatemala and one on El Salvador, plus two
commentaries. Virtually all the panel participants emphasized that their archival research revealed the
importance of everyday events in the distinct outlying regions they were studying. Jorge H. González
(Tulane University), in his "Regions and Regionalism in Guatemalan Historiography: The Case of Los
Altos, 1750-1885," especially focused on the development of events leading to the creation of an
autonomous state in Quezaltenango and its surrounding region. González noted that most of the serious
research on western Guatemala focuses on the early colonial period, while his research broadens our
knowledge of the late colonial period and the first six decades of early national period regional history.
He finds this to have been a period when Los Altos "underwent profound sociodemographic, economic
and political changes," which resulted in this region becoming, due in large part to coffee, the economic
and political core of Guatemala after 1873.
Todd Little-Sebold's paper, "Decaffeinating Guatemalan History: Perspectives from the Periphery, 1850-1950," which couched the debate in terms of the core-periphery duality, examined the relative impact of
the introduction of coffee and changes in land distribution in two distinct regions: the Departments of
San Marcos, in the rich coffee producing area of northwestern Guatemala, and Chiquimula, a region of
easter Guatemala, with a drier climate, where coffee was of only some importance in the early decades
of its development, and a more peasant subsistence economy was the rule. Little-Siebold argued that
historians have generalized to the point of distortion and that what is true for one region, does not
necessarily apply to the country as a whole. He called for a revolution in Guatemala and Central
America's historiography, beginning with more studies of the smallest units of analysis, the pueblos and
municipios.
Distinct from the two earlier papers, which were more theoretical and critical of much of the existing
historiography, the third presentation, by Wade Kitt (Wake Forest), examined a topic in regional history,
"Kekchi Religion and Milpa Agriculture in the Alta Verapaz in the Late Nineteenth and Early Twentieth
Centuries." Kitt focused on the use, or, one might say, manipulation, of Kekchi beliefs by the dominant
German finquero in the Region, Erwin Paul Dieseldorff, in order to assure himself sufficient labor and
land as his vast coffee fiefdom expanded. The fourth presentation by Aldo Laurio Santiago (New
School for Social Research), entitled "Region and State Formation in El Salvador, 1820-1900," was an
overview of an even less studied country than Guatemala, taking more the theoretical perspective of
González and Little-Siebold.
The four presentations were followed by comments from Lowell Gudmundson (Mount Holyoke
College) and Jim Handy (University of Saskatchewan). Gudmundson ranged widely in weaving the
panelists' papers together into a coherent whole. He pointed out the revisionist implications of the theme
of denationalizing Central American history, and encouraged the participants to probe more deeply into
the relationship between local/regional realities and the big picture. Gudmundson pointed, particularly,
to the need of all the participants to take the issue of land very seriously, as a way of understanding the
link between the State and Coffee. While agreeing with the participants that Coffee had been
overemphasized, he urged that it not be ignored since its development was so crucial to Guatemalan and
Salvadoran social, political, and economic transformation in the period. He also urged the State not be
ignored either. While Gudmundson applauded the de-emphasis on a strong State, he cautioned the
participants against throwing the baby out with the bath water.
Commentator Jim Handy echoed Gudmundson's cautionary tone. He argued that all of the papers had
the strength of excellent local and regional information, and that they reconstructed the past of peoples
and place traditionally ignored. However, he also felt that the State was a major power in the nineteenth
century which should be treated judiciously, but nonetheless, must be treated. Handy also argued that
the panelists needed to address how the basic imbalance of power in Guatemalan society conditioned
their interpretations. Finqueros, he asserted, were powerful, more powerful than the Indians and rural
campesinos which most of the panelists addressed. Therefore, to ignore them and their power was to
overreact to a historiographical lacuan. Finally, Handy concluded, the participants' emphasis on the
multidirectional nature of change in Central America was a welcome revisionist perspective which
meant, very simply, that there was a great deal of work to do. He called on the panel to get back into the
archives and do that work. A discussion, as long as time permitted, ensued between members of the
audience and the panel.

UNITED STATES POLICY TOWARD AXIS NATIONALS IN LATIN AMERICA DURING
WORLD WAR II
This session presented three papers and two commentaries focusing upon the fate of Axis nationals,
principally in Argentina, Costa Rica, and Peru.
John F. Bratzel (Michigan State University) described United States perceptions of Axis activity in
Argentina at the beginning of the war. He documented the unhealthy competition among the U.S.
government agencies for the attention of top decision makers. He exposed the duplication of effort and
the exaggeration of the threat by the competing agencies. He attributed some of these mistakes to a lack
of training but much more to intro-agency rivalry.
Thomas Leonard (North Florida University) addressed the activities of German nationals in Costa Rica
on the eve of the war. He documented the considerable economic power in the hands of German
nationals and their clumsy and unsuccessful attempt to translate that into politic power. He addressed
the perceived and potential threat to the Panama Canal by German activities.
Daniel Masterson (U.S. Naval Academy) discussed the fate of Peru's unwanted Japanese immigrants.
He traced the origin of their presence in Peru into the mid 19th century and then focused upon their fate
during the war. He described the racial bias against the Japanese and the process by which some
Peruvian Japanese were sent to U.S. internment camps.
Two commentators discussed the significance of these papers and drew out their most salient points.
Warren F. Kimball (Rutgers University) extolled these efforts as basic building blocks needed by
political scientists to gain a better understanding of this era and Lawrence A. Clayton (University of
Alabama) complemented their finds through his research and personal family experience. Both
commentators discussed questions related to the issue which need to be explored. A Lively discussion
followed which exceeded the remaining time available.

RESEARCH COMPETITION: HEALTH REFORM IN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE IN
LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN. The Research and Technological Development in
Health Program (HDR) of the Division of Health and Development of the Pan American Health
Organization(PAHO) announces a call for historians to present original research projects analyzing
health reform in historical perspective in the region of Latin America and the Caribbean.
The organization of this research competition stems from a belief in the explanatory, and not merely
descriptive, capacity of historical analysis to further understanding of the origins, evolution, and current
state of the problems and challenges facing public health and health services in the region.It is hoped that
the products of this competition can be used to stimulate greater contemplation of the various political,
technical, and social options that emerge in the health reform process.
Objectives of the Competition on "Health Reform in Historical Perspective":To enhance reflection upon
the challenges and options arising from reform of health systems in the region through a historical
examination of the debates,processes, and outcomes of past reform efforts. To strengthen the sense of
identity in the field of public health by identifying and examining its trajectory and traditions. Through
an exploration of health reform processes, an increased understanding of the patterns, trends, and social,
political, and cultural responses characteristic of the dynamics of public health in Latin America and the
Caribbean is anticipated.
Research Topics: The analysis of health reform in historical perspective should include one or more of
the following subjects: The emergence of the welfare state and the rise of national health systems. The
interplay of political, social, trade union, and professional interests in the founding and development of
ministries of health and social security institutions since the 1920s. The history of local ideologies
and/or doctrines regarding hygiene and public health that have served as a basis for reform. European,
North American, and international agency influences upon health reform. The models of scientific
knowledge that have formed the basis for health reform proposals. The relationship between campaigns
aimed at controlling or eradicating endemic diseases--such as yellow fever and malaria--and the
organization of health services. The role of the teaching and practice of public health in health reform.
Locally successful initiatives and options, including those promoted by grass roots organizations, that
failed to be incorporated in national reform plans. The impact of past reforms upon health conditions.
Types of Research: Academic studies of the highest methodological and interpretive rigor that open new
avenues for contemporary discussion on the social, political, cultural, and economic issues related to
health policy are the expected results of this competition. The projects should be based upon analysis of
primary sources; historiographic or purely descriptive studies will not be accepted.
STANDARDS AND PROCEDURES: Prerequisites for Prospective Applicants: Applicants must be
researchers in social history, history of science, or another area of history and have work experience in
Latin America or the Caribbean. Preference will be given to residents of Latin America or the Caribbean.
he principal investigator must be sponsored by an institution (governmental, non-governmental, or
academic) that certifies its support for performance of the research project. Subsidies and Duration of
Research: Research subsidies are not to exceed US$25,000, with a duration of between 1 and 2 years.
Submission of Proposals and Deadline: The application forms and research protocol should be sent to
PAHO headquarters to the attention of: Dr. Rebecca de los Rios, Research and Technological
Development in Health Program (HDR), Research Competition on "Health Reform in Historical
Perspective," 525 23rd St. N.W., Washington, D.C. 20037-2895 FAX: (202) 861-8472. The
deadline for receipt of applications is 15 September 1995. Selection of Proposals: The proposals will
be reviewed by recognized investigators from the field. Evaluation criteria include the relevance,
appropriateness, and scientific merit of the research projects submitted and the suitability of the
investigators. The proposals will also be judged on how appropriately they have been framed within the
research topics outlined, and investigators will be evaluated according to whether they have met the
specified requirements. The review process will conclude by December 15, 1995, and approved projects
will receive subsidies to initiate research between December 1995 and January 1996.

WARREN DEAN PRIZE CLAH announces the establishment of a Warren Dean Prize which
recognizes the book or article judged to be the most significant work on the environmental history of
Latin America published in English during the previous two years. Publications by scholars other than
historians will be considered as long as the work has substantial historical content. Similarly,
comparative works (e.g., on the environmental history of the Americas) will be eligible as long as they
include a substantial amount of material on Latin America. the prize committee that judges the entries
will also be responsible for judging whether submissions qualify for the prize. The winner will receive a
cash prize of $500.00, funds permitting. Contributions can be made to the fund by sending a check
specifying the donation to the Warren Dean Prize Fund to the CLAH Secretariat.
THE LATIN AMERICAN MICROFORM PROJECT (LAMP) was formed in 1975 in order to
preserve unique, scarce, bulky, or expensive Latin Americanist research resources of scholarly value. Its
membership now stands at 35 libraries, all located within North America. Like a number of area studies
microform projects for other parts of the world, LAMP is administered through the Chicago-based
Center for Research Libraries.
LAMP's efforts have focused on the original filming of endangered research materials. A significant
number of its projects have been carried forth in cooperation with Latin American
repositories, and its current activities are focusing ever more directly on primary source materials.
Brazilian documents, annual ministerial reports from the entire region, and Haitian imprints comprise
particular strengths. LAMP relies on member dues for its ongoing income of about $20,000 per year;
grant funds from the National Endowment for the Humanities launched the ministerial memorials
project, and the Project is currently engaged in an effort--funded by the Andrew W. Mellon
Foundation--to digitize a substantial body of Brazilian documents already on microfilm.
Many of LAMP's holdings are fully cataloged and available via the Center for Research Libraries' online
catalog. Materials that are not yet cataloged are described in lists of Project holdings available from the
Microform Projects and Preservation Coordinator at the Center for Research Libraries (6050 South
Kenwood Avenue, Chicago, IL 60637). Project materials can be lent to eligible borrowers through
interlibrary loan. CRL also sells service microfilm copies of titles for which it holds a printing negative
and upon which there are no copyright restrictions.
Membership in LAMP is open to any institution maintaining a library. Prospective members participate
in filming decisions, and are expected to pay one-time "buy-in" fees as well as annual membership dues.
Additional information is available from either the current Project Chair (Dan Hazen, Librarian for Latin
America, Spain, and Portugal, Harvard College Library, Cambridge, MA 02138) or the Microform
Projects and Preservation Coordinator at the Center for Research Libraries.

Jacqueline Holler, 1994 Scobie Award Co-Winner
I used the prize to travel to Mexico City for two weeks in August-an exciting if rather chaotic time to be
in the city, but for me the only option. I worked in the AGN for that time, both because I found
surprisingly abundant sources to work with and because, as I found, I lacked the proper credentials for
admission to the cabildo archives. The time in the AGN was well spent; I found significant sources in
Tierras and Bienes Nacionales: information relating to the sale of cells, property disputes, etc. Convents
are also well represented in Cedulas. I also found many individual nuns' cases in Inquisión-the only
place where beatas as well as professed nuns make an appearance. Moreover, I found a whole volume of
sixteenth-century cases in which individuals were charged with asserting that the status of married
individuals was better than that of nuns; I believe that these cases could offer a chance to reevaluate
contemporary perceptions of nuns' status. I had no difficulty filling my days in the archive and I shall
return for a longer stay as soon as possible.
However, the sources for the sixteenth century are less abundant than for the later period, suggesting that
a visit to Seville, which I hope to make in the spring, will be necessary. Nonetheless, it is evident that I
should spend at least a month in Mexico again in the autumn of 1995, consulting the sources I have
identified in the AGN as well as visiting the cabildo and hopefully the Franciscan archives.
The photocopying and transcribing I did in the AGN stands me in good stead as I prepare my dissertation
prospectus, which I shall defend in November at Emory. More importantly however, the experience
clearly indicates to me the feasibility of my dissertation topic. I want to thank the committee once again
for choosing me for the Scobie Prize.
Harold Langfur, 1994 Scobie Award Co-Winner
With the generous support of the CLAH James R. Scobie Memorial Award, I spent a month in Cuiabá,
the capital of the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso, and three weeks in Rio de Janeiro. My preliminary
research at the U. of Texas at Austin had not prepared me for the richness of the Arquivo Público do
Estado de Mato Grosso. Historians have only begun to explore this archive, which contains a wealth of
material stretching back to the early eighteenth century. I devoted the first phase of my research there to
familiarizing myself with the documentation available from the second half of the nineteenth and early
twentieth centuries. This led to the discovery of a vast and varied manuscript collection pertaining to the
Paraguayan War (1864-70).
The history of Brazil's involvement in that war has been treated primarily as a military tale of triumphant
battles and skillful diplomacy enacted by elite white males. The history of the civilian population, as it
was affected by this conflict, has been all but ignored. When the Paraguayan Army occupied portions of
Mato Grosso in 1865, leading to Brazil's declaration of war, Cuiabá became the repository for
documents that reveal how the war disrupted civilian society. I found substantial material on a variety of
social groups--Indians, women, the free poor, and slaves--whose lives were transformed by the war but
whose history has been overshadowed by that of soldiers, generals, and statesmen. My research in
Cuiabá allowed me to begin to analyze how these groups behaved under the tremendous strain of living
in or near territory seized by an enemy army while at the same time largely isolated from the nation's
center of power in Rio de Janeiro. In turn, I am now broadening my dissertation research from its
original sole focus on Amerindians to include these other historical actors. I intend to treat military
conflict as social history and provide a crucial regional perspective on a national calamity.
Thanks to this summer's research, I can now be certain that the documentation exists to support such an
undertaking. My interest in the Indians of Mato Grosso led me to locate a collection of hundreds of
letters written by the director of Indian affairs during the war years. As my research expanded to include
other social groups, I worked with correspondence, both official and private, between the provincial
president, the chief of police, the director of the Santa Casa de Misericórdia, the local bishop, municipal
judges, and many other Mato Grosso authorities. I managed to have five manuscript volumes of such
correspondence microfilmed, which will allow me to continue this work here in Austin. Other
documents which I found particularly useful were the daily crime reports from the chief of police and a
collection of official requests, primarily by women and the elderly, to have their husbands and sons
relieved from military duty. I expect to make good use of these when I return to Cuiabá for more
research.
In Rio de Janeiro, I worked at three institutions. At the Arquivo Nacional, I concentrated on the 22-volume Códice 547, which contains correspondence concerning the Paraguayan War, a significant
portion of it originating from or directed to Mato Grosso. At the Biblioteca Nacional, I worked with and
ultimately purchased a copy of a reel of microfilm containing expensive runs of several Mato Grosso
newspapers of the period. And at the Museu Histórico Nacional, I used the Coleção Guerra do
Paraguay, a rich archive of photographs and documents pertaining to the war.
I was thrilled to receive the Scobie Award at the beginning of the summer, but only upon entering the
Brazilian archives did I fully appreciate its value. The award allowed my to conduct research that, I am
certain, will turn my dissertation research into an original contribution to the historiography of the
Paraguayan War and of Mato Grosso society. I thank CLAH for its generous support.
H-LATAM (An H-Net List) Latin Americanists in Cyberspace
These are exciting times for H-LatAm. You may have experienced delays in delivery of posts or
received them out of order. All of that should be rectified with our move from the computers at UIC to
those at Michigan State U.. All commands, like subscribing, setting to index, digest, nomail, etc., should
now be sent to listserv@msu.edu. Logs and reviews also come from this address, but the gopher is still
at UIC temporarily.
The most ambitious project for H-LatAm and H-Net in general is the launching of a book review project.
The project began in mid-February with a review of Warren Dean's book, With Broadax and Firebrand
who was an Editorial Board member of H-LatAm prior to his untimely death last summer. We also
published reviews of Revolutionizing Motherhood: The Mothers of the Plaza de Mayo by Margarite
Guzman Bouvard, and Slavery and Beyond edited by Darien Davis in these first weeks, and more are
arriving. Through arrangements with publishers, we will be offering book reviews within six weeks of
publication and hope for some interesting discussion from previously published works. Scholarly
Resources requested that we review their microfilm document collection, and we are hoping to expand
into reviews of films and videos for classroom use. Authors interested in having H-LatAm review books
send the title and name of publisher to Jackie Kent at the address below. Anyone interested in reviewing
books should also contact Jackie Kent. We welcome both reviewers and authors who are online and
those who prefer regular mail. Thanks to H-Net, our parent organization, H-latam now has access to a
scanner that can scan hard copy into ASCII files, to help those of you who are unaware of how to
forward documents via the internet or are not online.
The scanner will also make it easier for us to add syllabi and bibliographies to the gopher. We would
like to encourage members to send us copies of syllabi and bibliographies that they would like to share.
A large part of our mission is sharing educational material.A new project for the gopher is to collect
articles and readings that can be downloaded and reproduced as a "reader" for classes. The Teaching and
Teaching Materials Committee discussed readers at the last meeting and agreed that it was very difficult
to please the individual instructor. This project will allow the instructor to pick as many or as few
selections as desired. Please let us know what you think of this project. All suggestions are welcome.
To accommodate our international subscribers, we encourage postings in Spanish, Portuguese, French,
or English and urge native speakers to post in these languages. Most list members respond in the
language of the post. Hopefully this will make international members of CLAH more comfortable in
participating in the discussions. One of our major projects this year will be ways and means for our Latin
