In closing, I would like to inform you that the theme for
the 1996 JALAS&L will be "Race and Gender in Latin America
and Iberophone Africa." An Internet version of our current
"Call for Papers" will be sent to AFROLAT (our forum for
Afro-Latin American issues) and other pertinent Internet
discussion groups. Also, I will soon start highlighting
the articles of the 1995 JALAS&L, perhaps with a synopsis
paragraph or so of each essay.
