This is the second installment of the three NACLA Report on the Americas reviews that you will submit for this class. This review is to be at least 3-4 pages and this due date of October 23, at 11:59 PM, corresponds to South America, such as Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Ecuador, etc. Please submit your review through the Canvas in either of the following formats: doc, docx or PDF. Please use both a title page and a works cited page (neither of these pages count toward your 3-4 pages of text). Both reports will count as a combined 15% toward your final grade, with each review counting as 7.5% of your overall grade. In your works cited page, compose your article entry in a format like this:

Please submit your reports through Canvas in either of the following formats: doc, docx or PDF (if you are using Google Docs or Apple Pages to compose your review, please be sure to convert your paper to docx or PDF before submitting it). Late papers will be accepted for each submission, but only for one week after the assigned due dates 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). These reports will count as a combined 15% toward your final grade. In your works cited page, compose your article entry in a format like this:

Nidia Bautista, “Justice for Lesvy: Indifference and Outrage in Response to Gender Violence in Mexico City,” NACLA Report on the Americas website (July 31, 2017).

In terms of the content of each report, I am looking for two main points of discussion. First, you should devote the first half of the report to a summary of the main points in the article that you selected. To help you to address this issue, consider some of these questions: What is the main issue being discussed? (i.e. immigration, elections, education, environment, women’s issues, crime, etc.) Who are the main personalities mentioned in the article? (i.e. Enrique Peña Nieto, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, President Trump, etc.) How does the issue affect the people of the country mentioned in the article? Does the issue have any connection with United States interests? What do you think could be the best solution to resolve this problem?

And for the second point of discussion, please analyze the article that you selected and present your point of view on the story. For example, how do you feel about the story? How did this article contribute to your understanding about modern Latin America? And what do you think about the author’s perspective on the article? How does this topic relate to contemporary political, economic or cultural themes in the United States today?

Here is a list of articles from the NACLA website pertaining to regions for the October 23 due date. Everybody, just pick any one article from this list for your October 23 review. Just follow the same format for your first NACLA submission. These articles range in date from February 2019 to September 2020. For this list, I’m going in alphabetical order by nation:
