Latin Americans living and working in the United States are the fastest growing and largest minority group. Record numbers of immigrant Latin American adults work in U.S. business and industry, and record numbers of immigrant Latin American children attend U.S. school systems. The cultural misunderstandings and miscommunications are at times almost overwhelming for both the American and Latin American. We custom design (n)site's Cultural Diversity Training to facilitate cultural understanding between American and Latin American workers, management, students and their families. Each participant learns about the cultural expectations and perspectives of the other culture, to help promote greater appreciation and tolerance, as well as a more productive working environment. Our Cultural Workshops provide real-life examples that apply to participants' everyday work situation promote discussions that encourage participants to share cultural challenges and solutions use the participants' native language for optimal interaction with our bilingual trainers.

World War II - The internment of German American civilians This is the homepage of Arthur D. Jacobs, Major, USAF Retired; Researcher: Internment in the United States during World War II, December 7, 1941 - July 1948 e-mail:adjacobs@foitimes.com This web site contains research materials on the wartime treatment of U.S. and Latin Americans of German ancestry for serious researchers, students and persons seeking general information The World War II experience of thousands of German Americans, to most, is an unknown. During World War II, the U.S. government and many Americans viewed German Americans and others of "enemy ancestry" as potentially dangerous, particularly immigrants. The government used many interrelated, constitutionally questionable methods to control persons of German ancestry, including internment, individual and group exclusion from military zones, internee exchanges, deportation, repatriation, "alien enemy" registration, travel restrictions and property confiscation. The human cost of these civil liberties violations was high . Families were disrupted, if not destroyed, reputations ruined, homes and belongings lost. By the end of the war, 11,000 persons of German ancestry, including many American-born children, were interned.

Year With Latin Americans A Celebration of Life! When? Beginning July 1996 The 207 th General Assembly (1995) declared a new churchwide mission emphasis"Year with Latin Americans." Get ready for a Latin celebration beginning with the General Assembly in July 1996! Then for a year. . .or two. . . or a lifetime, we will turn our attention to lively, diverse, courageous, and creative peoples who are much closer to us than we have ever realized. We will have a chance to discover the way Latin Americans live, laugh, work, struggle, worship, and continue Jesus Christ's mission on earth. How? "God is with Us" (Matt. 1: 23). "Jesus himself came near and went with them. . ." (Luke 24: 15) God calls the church to share a faith journey, to be in solidarity with Latin American peoples. God's way leads to personal relationships, accompaniment, fellowship, partnership and to shared joys and burdens. Who? Who are Latin Americans? They are native Americans, Arawaks, Garifunos, descendants of slaves, mestizos, descendants of Spanish and Portuguese conquistadores, descendants of German, Italian and Asian immigrants. Why are they called "Latins"? Partly because they speak Latin languages. Most of the countries are Spanish-speaking, and Brazilians speak Portuguese. There are also French-speaking countries, such as Haiti. Official indigenous languages, such as Guarani, Maya, Creole, and Quechua, are spoken by many people in some countries.

Heeding the call for black cultural unity and economic development, representatives of 150 million Afro Latin Americans - from Puerto Rico down to Argentina - gathered in Barlovento, Venezuela in July. Largely invisible Unnoticed and unheard in the corridors of Latin American power debates, Black Latins comprise an estimated African ethnic minority of 90 million and at least an additional 60 million of mixed African ancestry, according to the organisers. They constitute one third of the continent's 450 million people. Two groups have sparked the initiative. The charitable Organisation of Africans in the Americas (OAA) works for the social, political and economic empowerment of communities. The ad hoc group Afroamerica XXI represents communities and leaders in 9 countries and has lobbied major finance and assistance agencies for development funding.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE CR FRIDAY, JUNE 12, 1998 (202) 616-2777 TDD (202) 514-1888 JAPANESE LATIN AMERICANS TO RECEIVE COMPENSATION FOR INTERNMENT DURING WORLD WAR II WASHINGTON, D.C. Nearly 600 Japanese Latin Americans who were interned during World War II will each be able to receive $5,000 and an apology under an agreement reached today with the Justice Department. Today's agreement resolves a 1996 civil suit filed by five Japanese Latin Americans who were deported from their homes in Latin America during World War II and held in internment camps in the United States. The five, who had been denied redress under the Civil Liberties Act of 1988, claimed that they deserved to be compensated along with Japanese American internees during the war. "This was a tragic chapter in the history of our nation," said Attorney General Janet Reno. "It's time to right this wrong and close the book."

Today, almost all Latin Americans live in democracies. That is a great achievement, of which you should all be proud. At the same time, you have made great progress in combating inflation, increasing and diversifying exports, and attracting foreign investment.  You have also achieved vital social objectives, such as reduced mortality rates among children and mothers, gender balance in the school system, and primary education for all. And yet, far too many Latin Americans are still living in poverty and hunger.  Many feel defenceless against violence and crime. Your societies suffer from low economic growth and persistent inequality.  Many groups -– especially those of African descent and the indigenous peoples –- feel excluded and oppressed.

16. LATIN AMERICANS FEEL ARMY GENERALS ARE BETTER DICTATORS THAN POPULATION REPRESEN I agree with most latin americans, if you cannot have a REAL DEMOCRACY achieving public consensus, they can take this Give me an Army general dictator anytime! http://belize1.com/BzLibrary/trust419.html

REPORT #419 August 2001 LATIN AMERICANS FEEL ARMY GENERALS ARE BETTER DICTATORS THAN POPULATION REPRESENTATION POLITICAL PARTY MINISTERIAL DICTATORS Produced by the Belize Development Trust I myself, an ardent proponent of real democracy, favor an Army General Dictator system for rule in Latin American countries, over that of dictatorship by an elected population representation, European, one ruling political party with a rubber stamp Senate and Congress. Why? Because with the Army General as a dictator, you only have one person to deal with and that person, right or wrong, bribes or no, is at least consistant. You can build your business and economy based on knowing the character of your Army General dictator. But in an elected, population representation, one party ruler dictatorship, you have too many dictators. In my country of Belize, we have around 26 Cabinet Ministers living off the public tax trough, like pigs in a farm. Each one is a mini-dictator. The Legislature is controlled by them and so also is the APPOINTED Senate. They are free to act independently by decree, or can count on their accomplices in the ruling party to support them when blatantly wrong. These are Rubber stamp organizations our legislature and senate. It is very hard to build your business and the economy, when you have to influence each Cabinet Minister who rules over each permit and license and other requirements. And if he doesn't like you, your business is bust. The trouble is, you may have to deal with half a dozen Cabinet Minister mini-dictators in the population representation election system, in which only one party gets to rule. And rule they do!

Executive Summary Latin America is emerging from a 30-year period of intense, violent, and deadly conflict. Yet the legacy of this violent period has a strong impact on Latin American citizens, policymakers, and military officers: few believe that this past has been clearly exiled to the dust bin of history, never to threaten the peace and prosperity of the region again. Hence a lively and fundamentally important discussion flourishes in the region concerning the causes, prevention, and resolution of deadly conflict. Latin American analysts have debated a number of recommendations regarding the prevention of violent conflict. A number of these proposals parallel those included in the Carnegie Commission’s Second Progress Report , while three others reflect distinct ideas. Control, reduce and eventually eliminate Weapons of Mass Destruction. These efforts have a long history in Latin America, beginning with the Treaty of Tlatelolco of 1967. While it is true that the key countries (Argentina, Brazil, Cuba, and the United States) did not sign on at the time, Cuba is no longer a concern and Argentina and Brazil have now agreed not to proliferate. In 1991 Argentina, Brazil, and Chile signed accords to proscribe chemical and biological weapons. Control trade in conventional weapons.

Grupo CAÑAVERAL established in Miami for the purpose of promoting and preserving the Hispanic American musical heritage, came into being in September of 1985. Its founding members and bandleaders are the Cuban-born singer, HILDA LUISA and the Venezuelan singer and cuatrista NELSON ZULETA. Our band consists of eight members who hail from all corners of the continent. Because we coincided as musicians in a city such as Miami, where Hispanics have exerted an unprecedented influence, it was possible for us to create a distinct musical environment, both serious and refreshing, to offer the best traditional Hispanic American music. We have united our efforts and years of experience, and today we offer a complete repertoire that includes favorite selections from Argentina to México. Our repertoire includes material that is well-known and common to all the Latin American countries, juxtaposing cultural, educational and entertaining content. We provide a sampler of the musical fiber that runs across the Hispanic continent. We interpret Cuban

This description may not apply to all Latin Americans as individual experiences may vary. The profile can, however, be used as a pointer to some of the issues that may concern your client. In Queensland, the major Latin American community groups are from El Salvador (2300), Chile (1200) and Argentina (750) with smaller groups from Uruguay (400), Colombia (380), Peru (330), and other areas. Although these countries have distinct histories, they mostly share similar cultures and customs, as a result of a mix of populations descended from Spaniards, Amerindians and Africans. Migration There are three broad categories of migrants from Latin America. One group migrated to Australia under a recruitment policy in the 1970s, which offered assisted passages. Groups came from Argentina, Chile, Peru, Uraguay, Colombia and Ecuador to escape difficult economic and political climates. Many had middle class backgrounds and relatively high levels of education. Some had capital to set up business.
