About this Journal

A project of the University of Michigan Center for Latin American and Caribbean Studies, Translating the Americas is a digital platform for publication and open access distribution of translations of important, previously published articles and book chapters.

The aim is to support collaborations between members of the University of Michigan faculty and overseas colleagues, to disseminate the research of UM faculty by making it available in Spanish, Portuguese or Kreyol, and to provide and distribute important resources for teaching and research about Latin America and the Caribbean not currently available in English. This effort is supported by a Title VI grant from the United States Department of Education, by the University of Michigan Brazil Initiative (Office of the President), and through a collaboration with Michigan Publishing.
