In Latin America, travelers may encounter such diverse settings as laid-back coastal resorts and traditional mountain villages, while elsewhere, the cultural expectations of these countries can be worlds away. For instance: -In Mexico, crooking the index finger to say "come here" and the American "okay" sign are considered obscene. -Photographing military installations in Mexico, Cuba, or Paraguay could land you in jail---or at least lead to your forfeiting your film to the police. -If you wear the clothing of the indigenous people in Peru, they will think you're making fun of them. -State-run "official" restaurants aren't your best bet in Cuba---seek out paladares, small restaurants set up in private homes. -You shouldn't be surprised if you don't get silverware in the Belize countryside. Tortillas are often used in place of spoons. -Bikinis are not acceptable on Ecuadorean beaches. -Giving a Chilean yellow roses signifies scorn or contempt. Fully updated and expanded, The Travelers' Guide to Latin American Customs and Manners includes advice and information on daily life in Argentina, Belize, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Costa Rica, Cuba, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico, Panama, Paraguay, Peru, Uruguay, and Venezuela.

Southern Exposure's inaugural issue explores US imperialism and its nuclear and genocidal threat. Excerpt from the Introduction: As the South blends into the national picture, its problems are less unique, more national in character. Yet there is a continuing uniqueness to the region—both in its history of struggle and its possibilities for developing alternatives to the rest of America's crisis-prone growth. In 1970, with the advent of an era characterized by rapid economic expansion, urban growth, "New South politics," and more subtle forms of racism, we founded the Institute for Southern Studies. Our staff is young, black and white, men and women who were active participants in the struggles of the sixties. With an appreciation for region/nation interrelations, we seek to offer imaginative strategies for social change. Our goal is to provide ideas, analyses, facts, and programs for groups and individuals building the South of the Seventies and beyond, to translate information into action for progressive change.
