As part of our mission to become ever more “global,” “Latin American Studies Dissertation Reviews” will bring you friendly, non-critical overviews of recently defended, unpublished dissertations in this very exciting and dynamic field. As usual, the series will also feature reviews and guides for archives, libraries and collections relevant to Latin American Studies. If you are interested in reviewing for the new series, having your dissertation reviewed, contributing a “Fresh from the Archives” or “Talking Shop” article, or helping out in some other way, please contact latinamerican@dissertationreviews.org.
