The due dates for these reports are September 20, October 25 and November 27. Here are the regional topics corresponding to each due date:September 20: Mexico, Canada or Central America (Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Belize, or Panama).October 25: The Caribbean region (any of the islands, like Cuba, Puerto Rico, Dominican Republic, Haiti; or Venezuela or Colombia)November 27: The rest of South America (Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Peru, Uruguay, Ecuador, Bolivia, Paraguay, or the Guianas)To select the articles, click on any of the NACLA tags to see a page of various articles that you can access.

Nicaragua (Links to an external site.), Panama (Links to an external site.), Costa Rica (Links to an external site.), and Belize (Links to an external site.).Please submit your reports through Canvas in either of the following formats: doc, docx or PDF (if you are using 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.

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, Nicolás Maduro, Maurcio Macri, Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador, Jair Bolsonaro, President Trump, Secretary of State Pompeo, 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? In other words, please try to be as objective as possible during this portion of the assignment.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 or the Americas in general? And what do you think about the author’s perspective on the article?
