	Latin America - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Latin America is distinct from Anglo-America, a region of the Americas where English is spoken.
		The population of Latin America is an amalgam of racial and ethnic groups.
		Latin America has a very diverse population, with many ethnic groups of different ancestries or races, the majority of which are either of European, Amerindian, or African descent, or a mix of any of these.

	Latin America:Fragmentation and Forecasts
		Suddenly, Latin America's poverty was a "consequence of the savage neoliberal tax imposed by the International Monetary Fund, the World Bank, and, in the final analysis, American imperialism." Anyone ticketed with the label "neoliberal" would be politically destroyed, so that adjective was utilized demagogically in any electoral battle.
		Eastern Europeans coming out of the Communist bloc had a clear notion that the model to follow was the one used by successful countries, and they understood that, no matter how painful the adjustments would be, it was unavoidable that they needed to follow capitalist rationality.
		It is true that Latin America, in general, is taking up again a good deal of the populist schemes of the second half of the 20th century, but at times it seems that we are in the presence of devices to reach power and not true ideological convictions.

	Latin America (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		From a cultural point of view Latin America is a cultural region of the American continents consisting of countries where the official and predominantly-used language is Spanish ; Portuguese, and to a lesser extent,French.
		The term 'Latin America' has come to be applied to this region because the majority of its inhabitants speak a language descended from the ancient Latin language.
		A large percentage of the people in Latin America is of mixed origins, the result of racial intermingling among European settlers, African slaves, and American natives, with notable exception of the "Southern Cone" ("cono sur": Argentina, Uruguay, southern Brazil) where the population and the culture is the most Europeanized of all the Americas.

		We note that Brazil is the lone Portuguese-speaking country in Latin America, which means that foreign imports must be dubbed/sub-titled and therefore lose their essence.

	Overview: Latin America and the Caribbean (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Although nearly all Latin American and Caribbean countries have democratically elected civilian governments, democracy is clearly on the defensive.
		One of the main legacies of the long periods of authoritarian rule in Latin America is a profound polarization between "government" and "civil society." Authoritarian regimes and military governments viewed organized civil society as a threat and sought to either co-opt or repress leaders and organizations.
		Among OSI's initiatives, the Latin America Program provides the most comprehensive information about the organization's activities in Latin America and the Caribbean.
