													Section 
													 
													of the
													Southern Historical 
													Association
													
														
														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, several 
Phi Alpha Theta panels, and a luncheon with a featured speaker. 
Additionally, LACS awards the 
annual Ralph Lee Woodward Prize for the best graduate student paper presented at 
the annual meeting, the Murdo J. Macleod Book Prize and the Kimberly Hanger 
Article prize each year for the best article 
and the best book in Latin American, Caribbean, Borderlands or Atlantic World history appearing in the previous 
calendar year. We also award a dissertation prize in the same fields.
