Translating the Americas

In collaboration with our Brazilian partners, University of Michigan faculty, and the Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies (LACS), the Brazil Initiative facilitates the translation and dissemination of important research about Latin America in Spanish, Portuguese, and English languages.  These translations can be accessed on LACS’ Translating the Americas, an online platform for the publication and distribution of translations of previously published articles and book chapters.
