The Latin American and Caribbean Section of the 
Southern Historical Association 2012	

The Latin American and Caribbean Section (LACS) of the Southern Historical Association was established in 1998 to promote the study of the history of Latin America and the Caribbean, particularly in the U.S. South.

Each year at the annual meeting of the Southern Historical Association LACS sponsors five main panels, a Phi Alpha Theta panel, and a luncheon with a featured speaker.
	
Additionally, LACS awards the annual Ralph Lee Woodward, Jr. Prize for the best graduate student paper presented at the annual meeting, the Murdo MacLeod Book Prize and a prize for the best article in Latin American and Caribbean history appearing in the previous calendar year.

The $30 membership fee ($15 for graduate students) brings the opportunity to present papers at the annual meetings and a copy of the program of the annual meeting of the Southern Historical Association. Additionally, members make professional contacts, reconnect with colleagues, and support the study of Latin American and Caribbean History in the South.
