Extractions: HISPANIC CULTURE: A ROHRBACH LIBRARY PATHFINDER Prepared by Sylvia Pham Reference Librarian, Rohrbach Library Hispanic Culture is a vibrant and thriving culture. It is a culture that encompasses a wide variety of influences. It is represented in many countries, such as Spain in Europe, Mexico in Central America, most of South America and several countries in the Caribbean. As more and more people in this country can claim to be of Hispanic origin, there is a need to learn and to understand the origins and diversity of Hispanic people. These resources can help the reader to accomplish this. The texts described in this pathfinder are all located in the Reference Department of Rohrbach Library. The call number for each book is given to help locate the material within the Reference Department. Happy Reading!

Extractions: LASA Sections LASA Sections exist to promote the common interest of Association members in specific areas of Latin American Studies. They are a means of increasing communication and interaction among persons of similar interests within the framework of the larger organization. They help to broaden involvement in LASA, and to make the Association more participatory and responsive to constituencies. For 2004 there are 27 Sections. LASA members may join as many Sections as they choose. The only requirements are that their LASA membership be current and that they pay the additional fee for Section membership (currently $8). The following statements reflecting the mission and activities of each Section are provided by the Section chairs. The name of the current chair, his/her email address and office telephone number are also provided. Please feel free to contact that individual directly if you have specific questions related to a Section and to contact the LASA Secretariat if you wish to join a particular Section. BRAZIL This LASA Section focuses on comparative transdisciplinary and interdisciplinary studies involving Brazil and its relations with other regions of the Americas, including Spanish America, the Caribbean, and also areas of the United States where heavy populations of Brazilians and Hispanics have an impact on the local demography and culture. We believe that this Section will provide a space for bridging gaps in Latin American Studies.
Liberation Theology (by Ron Rhodes)

http://home.earthlink.net/~ronrhodes/Liberation.html

Extractions: on Liberation Theology Theological controversies are often confined to seminary classrooms or theological journals. But the controversy provoked by Latin American liberation theology has been public and it has been worldwide - involving the Vatican, orthodox and not-so-orthodox priests, lay people, sociologists, socialists, capitalists, economists, government leaders and their military, and much more. Liberation theology has certainly not been the passing fad some analysts thought it would be when it first emerged in the late 1960s. Strictly speaking, liberation theology should be understood as a family of theologies - including the Latin American, Black, and feminist varieties. All three respond to some form of oppression: Latin American liberation theologians say their poverty-stricken people have been oppressed and exploited by rich, capitalist nations. Black liberation theologians argue that their people have suffered oppression at the hands of racist whites. Feminist liberation theologians lay heavy emphasis upon the status and liberation of women in a male-dominated society. This article, the first of a three-part series on liberation theology, will focus on the Latin American variety - examining its historical roots, growth, doctrine, and present status in the world. Primary emphasis will be on how the movement has changed since its emergence in the late 1960s. In Parts Two and Three respectively, I will examine the Black and feminist varieties.

After studying the history and geography of this region in the world, the students begin to learn about the culture, religion, and beliefs of the people of Latin America. This unit will expand the students cultural knowledge by giving them the opportunity to study the importance that festivals have throughout Latin America and the role these festivals play in the peoples daily lives. This unit focuses on four specific festivals: Dia de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead), Semana Santa (Holy Week), Carnaval (Carnival also called Marti Gras in the United States), and Santiago de Apostol (Festival for Saint James). Overview Throughout the world, people celebrate important milestones, events, and religious moments in their lives. This is just one element of culture that pervades human life no matter a persons beliefs, language, geographic location, or socioeconomic rank. There are cultural elements that all people share no matter where they live: food, clothing, language, gender identification, entertainment, and many other aspects of life.
