Free access to higher education has long held the promise of upward mobility in Argentina. Under Javier Milei’s severe budget cuts, that promise may be coming to an end.
The North American Congress on Latin America (NACLA) is an independent, non-profit organization dedicated to providing in-depth analysis and information on Latin America, the Caribbean, and their complex relationship with the United States. NACLA's mission is to foster knowledge and understanding beyond borders, with the aim of promoting a world free from oppression, injustice, and political or economic subordination for the nations and peoples of the region.
NACLA covers a wide range of themes, including government and politics, culture and society, world affairs, and scientific developments, with a particular focus on how they intersect with and impact Latin America and the Caribbean. The organization's coverage is characterized by expert commentary, analysis of government announcements and legal policies, examination of evolving stories, and dissemination of press releases.
NACLA's target audience includes journalists, policymakers, activists, students, and scholars from North America and around the world who seek authoritative and insightful information on Latin American affairs. For over four decades, NACLA has been a premier source of English-language news and analysis on significant events and issues in the region, from the U.S. invasion of the Dominican Republic in 1965 to the U.S.-backed coup in Chile in 1973, and from Washington's support for brutal repression in Central America in the 1980s to the Washington Consensus on neoliberal austerity in the 1990s.
NACLA's content is primarily disseminated through scholarly articles, which are rigorously researched and peer-reviewed, providing readers with authoritative and in-depth analyses of critical issues affecting Latin America and the Caribbean.
