Journal overview

Founded in 1976, the Canadian Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Studies (CJLACS) publishes distinguished research and debates on Latin America and the Caribbean.

CJLACS makes an important contribution to furthering knowledge about these regions in Canada and around the world. It offers scholars, graduate students, and independent researchers a Canadian venue for publishing their work. It publishes peer-reviewed articles based on original research, in English, French, Portuguese and Spanish.

Each issue of the Journal contains several articles as well as reviews of recent publications about Latin America and the Caribbean. The Journal also publishes a feature on Reflections in Latin American and Caribbean Studies in which leading scholars are asked to reflect on the field. The Journal's publication is normally made possible in part by a grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. Interested persons are invited to submit articles, reviews or books for review.
