Extractions: Latin American Studies affect the everyday lives of K-State students, a speaker for Hispanic Heritage Month said Tuesday. "Kansas, for those of you who are not familiar, used to be a border state with Mexico. Now Mexico seems so far away,"said Marcial Antonio Riquelme, associate professor of sociology and director of the Latin American Studies Program. "Four percent of Kansas is Spanish, with Dodge City and Garden City having the highest concentrated populations." Riquelme discussed the definition of the Latin American region and the word Hispanic to a group of more than 40 people. He defined countries south of the Rio Grande River and the Caribbean as the area of study for Latin American secondary majors. "The word Hispanic, which is a census category, pertains to people from Spanish-speaking countries and excludes Haitians which speak French and Brazil, whose native language is Portuguese," Riquelme said. "The term Hispanic is less inclusive than the term Latin Americans." About 49 percent of all students learning a foreign language in North America choose to study Spanish, Riquelme said.

http://www.miamiartexchange.com/pages/2002/07/shabaka_07_01baroque.html

Extractions: @ Miami Art Museum "Ultrabaroque: Post-, Hybridity, & Latin American Art" Part One " Ultrabaroque: Aspects of Post-Latin American Art features works by 15 artists from six Latin American countries and explores the complexity of the contemporary art scene in this vast region. This exhibition will introduce viewers to the variety of fascinating themes in contemporary Latin American art and, among these, the importance of similarity and paradox, the notion of imperfection and irregularity, and characterized extravagance." So begins the official word on this most interesting of exhibitions. If the Baroque era marks the beginning of global markets, world wide expansion of capitalism, consolidation of European power, colonization, and European cultural dominance, it is interesting how the works in the Miami Art Museum exhibition fit into this huge curatorial aesthetic. The word baroque has come to mean both a style with specific formal characteristics and a period in art history lasting from the end of the 16th century through the 17th century. By the 17th century, the permanent division between Roman Catholicism and Protestantism had a critical effect on European art. By the late 17th century, colonial America, both north and south, was also prospering and art produced in the colonial Americas was closely related to, although generally distinct from, that of Europe. At the same time, scientific advances forced Europeans to question how they viewed the world.

http://bancroft.berkeley.edu/collections/latinamericana.html

Extractions: Survey of Mexican Inquisition documents The Latin Americana materials of the Bancroft Collection evolved from Hubert Howe Bancroft's collecting and publishing enterprises. Beginning with California and the North American West, his vision grew to include Mexico and Central America, through the Isthmus of Panama. Bancroft's writings and library covered Pre-Colombian indigenous populations to the modern societies of his times. The current thrust of collecting continues to build on those strengths with inclusion of new subjects and fields of scholarship that extend the broad, intellectual foundations of the original library. As a specialized area collection, the collection contains all forms of primary and secondary sources, including strong collections of bibliographical and reference sources, all forms of printed materials, and critical editions of major historical texts. The Bancroft Library collects widely on historical and contemporary Mesoamerican indigenous cultures. Sources include archaelogical reports, post-conquest codices (including facsimiles), testimonials, solicitations, dictionaries, grammars, myths, and stories. Many works are in Indian languages.
