LATIN AMERICAN PERSPECTIVES is a theoretical and scholarly journal for discussion and debate on the politi- cal economy of capitalism, imperialism, and socialism in the Americas. The authors, however-not Latin American

Perspectives or Sage Publications-are responsible for their own views, sources of information, writing style, and so on. Our objective is to encourage class analysis of sociocultural realities and political strategies to transform Latin American sociopolitical structures. We make a conscious effort to publish a diversity of political viewpoints, both Marxist and non-Marxist perspectives, that have influenced progressive debates in Latin America. Top priority will be given to articles that strike directly at the most important theoretical issues, particularly subjects that have re- ceived inadequate discussion or are in sharp dispute. We also attempt to encourage the work of relatively "unknown" students and scholars, and to bring the work of Latin American scholars to the English-speaking world. LATIN AMERICAN PERSPECTIVES welcomes strong views as long as they are backed by cogent arguments, are

grounded in Latin American reality, and are written to be comprehensible to a wide audience. Readers' criticism, com- ments, and proposals are welcomed.

MANUSCRIPT REVIEW PROCESS. The editorial board comprises Participating Editors, Associate Editors, and Coordinating Editors, who read and evaluate manuscripts. Any one or more of these editors may be responsible for

organizing a special issue. Manuscripts are normally evaluated by two Participating Editors (at least one Latin Ameri- can) and two members of the Editorial Collective. The Editorial Collective consists of the Coordinating Editors, who make decisions and who are assisted by the Associate Editors and by Interns. The Collective decides if the manuscript is to be accepted in its present form, returned to the author for revision, deferred for resubmission, or rejected. In all deci- sions, the reviewers' signed comments will be sent to the author. Either a Coordinating Editor or an Issue Editor will serve as liaison between the author and other editors. For authors who so wish, the liaison will provide editorial assistance or settle any substantial disagreement among reviewers. An author who feels that important views have been rejected may appeal; this will be reviewed by all Coordinating Editors. Please submit five copies of the manu-

script. Manuscripts should include a cover sheet so that the author's name and affiliation can be deleted for review. Please conform to journal style, as dictated by style sheets that can be obtained from the Publisher or the Managing Editor on request. A copy of the final revised manuscript saved on an IBM-compatible disk should be included with the final revised hard copy. Submission of a manuscript implies commitment to publish in the journal. Authors

submitting manuscripts to the journal should not simultaneously submit them to another journal. Manuscripts and

questions about the editorial process should be sent to the Managing Editor, Latin American Perspectives, P.O. Box 5703, Riverside, California 92517-5703. For information on upcoming publications and submission guidelines, please visit LAP on the web at http://wizard.ucr.edu/lap, or at our mirror site at http://csf.colorado.edu/lap. The editorial office can be reached by e-mail: [email protected].
