This blog is intended for those who want to read press articles that contain unique insights --as well as information that is often hard to find-- about Latin American politics, economy and society. I compile news articles on a regular basis and occasionally include my own analysis. Comments are always welcome. I hope people find this site useful.

Are you picking up your blog again?
Welcome back
This video is very confusing. First of all, I expected to hear complaints about how President Lula, even though being a socialist, has given big corporations leeway to destroy the Amazon rainforest. But this video shows a totally different image. Not only do people in the region seem to be happy with the work that has been done, but they also seem not to care much about the warnings of environmentalist. Amazing.
Are environmentalists being more amazonians than the people of the amazon? Or is this video sheer propaganda?
Hello, nice blog. For your readers interested specifically on Brazilian politics, please check my blog Fabulae Brasiliensis. Thanks and great job!
It would be great to check in with LANR again on a regular basis Justin... I really appreciated your efforts back in the day.
