Welcome to Divisadero

"Divisadero" is a Spanish word derived from divisar (to discern).
It refers to a place of high elevation from which one can view an extensive area.

The goal of this newsletter is to act as a divisadero for its readers by offering an inclusive view of the current issues in Latin/@ America citing the historical, social, and political forces which drive these nations and communities.

 

This issue is the product of a Latin American Studies course offered each semester, and thus a collaborative publication between students, faculty and staff. Divisadero shares in its mission to create and strengthen the community of students, faculty, and administrators who share our interests.

By serving as a divisadero, we hope you join us in our efforts to discover the different paths and determine a course of action on pressing and complex issues that impact Latin America and the Latin@ community.
