  This issue is devoted to Brazil and examines how the last few years have brought significant transformations to the government and society, which defy earlier expectations, both positive and negative.  Articles focus on political and economic subjects ranging from public demonstrations and labor unionization, the results of the PT administrations’ policies of land reform and healthcare management, to the difficulties brought on by the international recession, as well as questions of historical formation, cultural construction, self-identity, self-definition and criticism, and the conservative backlashes which have led to the rise of the rightist regime now in power.   TABLE OF CONTENTS | PURCHASE THIS ISSUE

  This issue of LAP represents a step toward a better understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in a Latin American context. The articles cover a range of historical and current topics and show that Arab and Jewish histories are an integral part of Latin American history, that Latin America has been an important actor in the conflict over Palestine, and that the issue is being played out today in ever-changing circumstances.  Historical topics address how specific Latin American countries dealt with the creation of Israel and the Six-Day War while other articles consider more recent topics including the role and treatment of the Palestinian diaspora and Israeli marketing of urban security expertise.     TABLE OF CONTENTS | PURCHASE THIS ISSUE
