Dancisin, Congress Coordinator/Operations Specialist COVER: Jose Clemente Orozco, Mural, Darmouth College The cover comes from The Epic of American Civilization a magnificent fresco painted between 1932 and 1934, by the Mexican artist José Clemente Orozco in Baker/Berry Library at Dartmouth College. The mural is a series of 24 panels depicting the development of American Civilization beginning with the march of the Aztecs out of Aztlan. The important point regarding the frescoes of Baker Library, wrote Orozco is the fact that it is an AMERICAN idea developed in American forms, American feeling, and, as a consequence, into Americanstyle. The profile in the front cover is part of an early panel entitled Pre-Columbian Golden Age. On the back cover are two panels. The one on the right is structured around the tall figure of a Mexican revolutionary surrounded by a group of bankers and military. One general is ready to kill him. The panel on the left is the last one in the mural. Its title is Gods of the Modern World. Commentary by Marysa Navarro.

It has been my privilege to work closely and intensely with the new members of the Secretariat, Milagros Pereyra, Jennifer Crawford, María Cecilia Q. Dancisin, and the seasoned ones like Sandy Klinzing. It is an extraordinary group of people, with an exemplary sense of service and an unflinching dedication to the welfare of our association. I could not have dreamed of a better Program Committee. Mil gracias to the Track chairs for all their hard work and very especially, thanks to Kristin Ruggiero, the Program Chair.

Marysa Navarro, Dartmouth College MESSAGE FROM THE LASA2003 PROGRAM CHAIR On behalf of all who helped to create this Program from an outstanding group of proposals numbering over 700 sessions, I wish you good reading. I am sure that you will find a session to interest you at nearly every time slot. Plenary Sessions have a slot of their own at this Congress, an innovation that we hope will allow anyone who wants to attend to be able to do so without missing other sessions. We have made every effort to schedule sessions with similar themes at different times, although this was not always possible. We also tried to accommodate requests for moving papers to other sessions that were more appropriate, at the same time keeping in mind the integrity of the original session. I would like to thank all of you who participated in this process. Your generosity and flexibility have allowed LASA to maintain its commitment to inclusiveness. Highlights of the Presidential Sessions include readings by Elena Poniatowska, Sergio Ramírez and Luisa Valenzuela. Thematically, the Featured Sessions include a focus on studies of Latin American academic resources, such as the leading Latin American journals and the Handbook of Latin American Studies; human rights; democracy; labor and globalization; cultural criticism; economics; a memorial tribute to Victor Urquidi; and of course the Kalman Silvert lecture. Another feature of this Congress is the Film Festival, which Director Claudia Ferman has integrated closely into the Congress, both spatially and academically. The films will be shown in a room across from the Congress Registration Desk, a very central location. The films complement the academic side of the Congress and follow topically some of the Congress sessions, especially those dealing with current events in Latin America. For example, the new Haitian film The Agronomist will show Wednesday night to open the festival, and two other Haitian films will be shown during the Congress. Three documentaries by women filmmakers with the Chiapas Media Project will be shown and Founding Director and International Coordinator of the Project, Alexandra Halkin, will speak on Thursday. Thanks go to all who have made this Congress possible. I wish you all a wonderful Congress! Kristin Ruggiero, of Wisconsin, Milwaukee LASA iii

5 PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS AT EACH LASA CONGRESS KALMAN SILVERT AWARD June Nash is Distinguished Professor Emerita at the City of New York, Graduate Center and City College. Her early fieldwork was in Chiapas, Mexico, where she worked with Mayas, publishing In the Eyes of the Ancestors: Belief and Behavior in a Mayan Community. Her work in tin mining communities of Bolivia resulted in the monograph, We Eat the Mines and the Mines Eat Us: Dependency and Exploitation in Bolivian Mining Communities, which received the C. Wright Mills honorable mention in In 1976, she completed a family autobiography with Juan Rojas first published as I Spent My Life in the Mines. In 1992, additional chapters of his wife and grown children were added. Juan Rojas autobiography became the basis of the script for the documentary of the same title. workers and residents. During the l970s, Nash was engaged in feminist and workingclass movements, co-edited with Helen Safa, Sex and Class in Latin America, and Women and Change in Latin America; and with M. Patricia Fernandez Kelly, Women, Men, and the International Division of Labor. Prompted by questions the miners asked about corporations in the United States, she undertook a study of General Electric workers and the community of Pittsfield resulting in a monograph, From Tank Town to High Tech: The Clash of Community and Industrial Cycles. While working in Pittsfield, she learned of the problems faced by the town as a result of dumping the carcinogenic materials used in the production of power transformers, and co-authored three articles regarding the effect on the physical and mental health of Impressed with the growing crisis world-wide, in 1989 she decided to return to her roots in Chiapas, the safest and least conflicted field area in which to train future anthropologists. During the first three summers of field work, she and her students witnessed the rise of the social movement that burst into headlines throughout the world as the Zapatista uprising in She summarizes the decades of fieldwork with Mayas in her book, Mayan Visions: The Quest for Autonomy in an Age of Globalization, and an anthology with articles by her students and colleagues, The Explosion of Communities in Chiapas, Mexico. Her interest in artisans spurred her to publish an anthology, Crafts in the World Market, that demonstrates how even the most traditional of artisans are deeply involved in the global world order. Reflecting on the global integration and its devastating impact on subsistence and peasant producers, Nash is now trying to assess the relationship between economic insecurity, and the turn to militarization, especially in the field areas in which she has worked. This interest is reflected in a number of papers completed this year. Among them are The Military Industrial Complex and the Proliferation of Violence, which deals with Pittsfield, the arms race carried out in the General Electric plant during the Reagan era, and the turn of Pittsfield s high school graduates to military service in Iraq as their only option for a job with medical insurance and the promise of gaining a college education. The paper was presented in Bergen, Norway,.in February In The Image of the Limited Good and the Specter of the Unlimited Good, which was presented in April 2004 at Southern Methodist in Dallas honoring George Foster, the transformations of peasants are captured by contrasting their perspectives with the specter of the unlimited good played out in U.S. consumer culture. Nash s on-going concern with human rights can be seen in a paper given in Seattle that same month, Genocide, Ethnocide, and the Human Condition, relating to the genocidal war against Mayas ending in 1993, and the ethnocidal war on-going since the Spanish Conquest in Chiapas. She has just completed editing an anthology based on people s responses to the world crisis, Social Movements: A Reader, and hopes to bring together her reflections based on personal experiences with these world events.

10 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, the Latin American Studies Association acknowledges all who provided financial support for Congress participants from Latin America and the Caribbean, as well as for student participants. Hundreds of members contributed to the LASA Travel Fund and the Student Fund, as well as to the LASA Endowment. We are grateful for their continuing support of this effort. We again recognize the generosity of the Ford Foundation, which, through its contribution to the LASA Endowment, will help to fund Congress travel well into the future. For LASA2004, the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation again provided major support for Latin American and Caribbean Travel, as did the Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation, the Inter-American Foundation, the Tinker Foundation, the Christopher Reynolds Foundation, the Mexico office of the Ford Foundation, and the Open Society Institute. We also join with the Gender and Feminist Studies Section in thanking UNIFEM for its support of the section s preconference. We thank all donors for their generosity, and hope that they will have the opportunity to meet the grantees while in Las Vegas. LASA2004 could not have taken place without the tireless efforts of LASA President Marysa Navarro, who worked with LASA2004 Program Chair Kristin Ruggiero to assemble an outstanding program, including several featured sessions, addressed concerns as they arose, and committed countless hours to fundraising for travel grant support. Marysa, thank you for all your efforts on behalf of the Association! Over the 18 months preceding each congress, program chairs dedicate much of their time and energy to assuring that countless details are handled appropriately and that the program is ready on time. LASA2004 Program Chair Kristin Ruggiero traveled to Pittsburgh to work with the Secretariat to coordinate the extensive program. Kristin and the staff at the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies at the of Wisconsin, Milwaukee, have dedicated countless hours to make this happen. Please receive our heartfelt thank you! John Tuman of the of Nevada, Las Vegas chaired the Local Arrangements Committee for LASA2004, with the able support of colleagues and committee members Douglas Unger and Thomas Wright, both of UNLV. The committee was instrumental in securing funding for the Welcoming Reception and provided expertise in dealing with many logistical concerns. Many thanks to John and committee for helping to make LASA2004 a success. Our grateful thanks also to the SBC Corporation and the of Nevada for generously providing funding for the Welcoming Reception! Many thanks to Claudia Ferman, Film Festival Director, for her dedication and enthusiasm in evaluating and preparing the Film Festival Program, and also for maintaining the high standards of the Festival while at the same time striving to implement new strategies to integrate it into the general LASA Congress program. Special thanks to former LASA Executive Director Reid Reading for graciously sharing his vast experience during this time of transition. His guidance has been instrumental at particularly vital moments during the process. For LASA2004, the LASA Secretariat assumed full responsibility for the administrative and operational aspects of the conference. Many thanks to the magnificent LASA Staff who worked tirelessly to administer the Congress database and to create the final Program among many other projects. Special thanks to our two highly organized and conscientious team members Maria Cecilia Q. Dancisin, Congress Coordinator and Jennifer Crawford, Membership Coordinator who have dedicated countless hours to answering questions, solving problems, making program changes, and specially for their great spirit of cooperation. Many thanks to Sandy Klinzing for coordinating all of our fundraising efforts. Her years of experience at LASA have proven very valuable in planning this year s Congress. Thanks also to Erika Strauss, Rachel Klipa, and the wonderfully competent Sharon Paris for their incalculable hours working with paper proposals and data entry. We are also very grateful to Benjamin Denk and Dahiana Perez-Felip who worked diligently formatting and linking more than 850 papers for the Congress CD-ROM. Finally, thanks to Jason Dancisin for designing the Program Book cover, name badges, CD-ROM, and posters.
