Books
Conferences held by the Center resulted in several books on repression of culture and the role culture plays in re-democratization in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay and Uruguay: the book addresses "A Culture for Democracy in Latin America." The latest publication is a compilation of selected papers and communications that were presented at Romance Languages and Linguistic Communities in the United States, which took place at the University of Maryland, October 2000.
