Welcome!

ERIP panel at LASA06 in San Juan, Puerto Rico

Welcome to the Latin American Studies Association section on Ethnicity, Race, and Indigenous Peoples. We are committed to scholarly collaboration and exchange of ideas with respect to the study of ethnicity, race, Indigenous peoples, Afro-descendants and related issues in Latin America and the Caribbean. We also seek to promote greater participation of Indigenous and Afro-descendant scholars and intellectuals in the activities of the Latin American Studies Association and, more generally, in scholarly and academic communities. We have more than 200 members representing diverse academic disciplines, including anthropology, history, sociology, political science, linguistics, Spanish and Portuguese, geography, literature, and the law. Membership is open to all members of LASA.
