Historical relevance:
The "Latin American Review" represents a contemporary history of Latin American culture and political engagement that documents both North American and Latin American voices during a period of civil, international strife. As the archive’s repository, the Benson Collection works closely with faculty in UT's Institute for Latin American Studies to examine and reexamine that critical period in the history of the hemisphere and to support student learning in multi-media environments, and historical memory of the public.
