GCCCD Decades After Argentina Dictatorship the Abuelas Continue Reuniting Report

 

This is the second installment of the two NACLA Report on the Americas reviews that you will submit for this class. This review is to be at least 3-4 pages and corresponds to entire continent of South America. You can cover any of the South American nations, like: Colombia, (Links to an external site.) Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Bolivia, Uruguay, Paraguay, Peru, Ecuador, and Venezuela (Links to an external site.). (Note: as of Feb. 23, many of the articles were missing from the NACLA website; I will monitor this situation during the week of Feb. 24-28, and if the articles are not reposted by the end of the week, I will contact the NACLA people to inquire about this). To select the articles, click any of the blue links already indicated in this paragraph. That will lead to pages in the NACLA website with several article options for you. Please submit your review through the Canvas in either of the following formats: doc, docx or PDF. Late papers will be accepted but only for one week after the assigned due date and will be assessed a full grade deduction. Please use both a title page and a works cited page (neither of these pages count toward your 3-4 pages of text). The three NACLA reports you submit will count as a combined 15% toward your final grade, with each review counting as 5% of your overall grade. In your works cited page, compose your article entry in a format like this: Gabriel Hetland and George Ciccariello-Maher, “The State of the Left in Latin America: A Disillusioned Revolution in Venezuela,” NACLA Report on the Americas website (July 21, 2017).
