Latin American Area Studies

UMM Home > Latin American Area Studies

Latin American Area Studies Welcome to the site for Latin American Area Studies, an interdisciplinary program at UMM. Latin American countries have been our allies, our enemies, our trading partners, and our friends. Our history is entangled with the history of the region south of the U.S. border. We influence their culture and they influence ours. The objectives of the Latin American Area Studies program are: To provide a basic introduction to the cultures and societies of Latin America To provide the means essential to gain an understanding of Latin American and its diverse peoples To place Latin America in a comparative perspective.
