Latin america has suddenly become important to an increasing number of Canada's universities and colleges. Only three years ago the situation was not at all promising as D. B. L. Hamlin and Gilíes Lalande showed in their reports to the Canadian Universities Foundation, but a more favorable climate for developing programs in this area has emerged as the federal government, the Canada Council, university administrators, and individual faculty members have taken an interest in Latin America.

Notes

1. D. L. B. Hamlin, International Studies in Canadian Universities, and Gilles Lalande, L'étude des relations internationales et de certaines civilisations étrangères au Canada (published as one volume, Ottawa, 1964). This article has been based upon information provided by the above reports as well as questionnaires sent to all the universities and colleges in Canada. Not everyone contacted, however, responded, and therefore the author has had to depend upon information contained in the current (1965–66) calendars of these institutions. The author would like to thank all those who did respond for their courtesy in providing much needed information on the current state of Latin American studies in their departments and in their institutions. Current research projects being carried out by scholars in Canadian universities have been and will be published in “Current Research Inventory” (See LARR, I: 2, p. 146).
