Cluster: Latin American Studies

With Hispanics now the largest minority group in the United States, and Brazil's economy surpassing that of Russia, Latin America is attracting considerable attention in the United States. While its people struggle to preserve the region's artistic, literary and cultural heritage, Latin America also is experiencing rapid political and economic change. This cluster explores the rich diversity of peoples, histories and cultures that together define Latin America.
