We publish the NACLA Report on the Americas, a bi-monthly magazine that covers Latin America and U.S. policy toward the region with an in-depth but accessible style. Recent issues have covered:

History
1960s: NACLA is an integral part of the student movements confronting the systems of power around them
1970s: NACLA is there as the coup in Chile unfolds, and brings information about its aftermath back to activists in the U.S.

“If you want to understand what’s happening in Chile today, just read New Chile by NACLA” – Salvadore Allende, shortly before the coup in 1973


1980s: NACLA brings activists to Central America to uncover the truth about the U.S.-backed wars there, and brings those truths home to support the solidarity movement
1990s: NACLA lead the left with analyses of structural adjustment and corporate globalization

Today: NACLA continues to be a vital resource for those fighting for justice in our hemisphere and around the world, and an important partner in the Latin America Solidarity, Immigrant Rights, and Global Justice movements with our new website: nacla.org

Edited by Eric Hershberg and Fred Rosen and published by The New Press in conjunction with NACLA, this book takes on the full spectrum of contemporary issues in Latin America, from political transformation to the role of women, indigenous people, and labor coalitions. Latin America After Neoliberalism attempts to make sense of the ongoing upheavals throughout the continent as it moves into the vanguard of an international rejection of neoliberalism for a new and viable progressive alternative.

..

Dispatches from Latin America: On the Frontlines Against Neoliberalism is published by South End Press ,and edited by Teo Ballvé and Vijay Prashad. Drawn from the pages of the NACLA Report, this collection offers a riveting series of accounts that bring new insight into the region’s struggles and victories.
