Latin America

Abstract

It took some gentle prodding from professors Cynthia McClintock and
John Harbeson, conveners of this session, to persuade me to
participate. The reason for my reluctance may be obvious,
considering the composition of this panel. My distinguished
colleagues can speak about "them" when referring to the
contributions of scholars from the regions on which they specialize.
This, I gather, allows them some degree of objectivity when
summarizing and assessing the works of their colleagues in the
respective regions; instead, when I analyze the contributions of
Latin Americans, I analyze "us."
