Bulletin of Latin American Research is a peer-reviewed academic journal publishing research on Latin America, the Caribbean, and related diasporas. Founded in 1982 and published by Oxford University Press for the Society for Latin American Studies, it features articles, research notes, and review essays that engage with historians, anthropologists, political scientists, geographers, sociologists, and literary scholars studying regional developments. The journal situates contributions within debates linked to transnational networks, regional integration, colonial legacies, and cultural productions across cities, nations, and borderlands.
The journal originated during a period of expansion in Latin American studies associated with institutions such as the University of London, the Institute of Latin American Studies (ILAS), and the University of Oxford in the early 1980s. Early editorial boards included scholars affiliated with London School of Economics, University College London, University of Cambridge, King's College London, and University of Edinburgh. Its launch responded to scholarly conversations fostered by conferences at venues like the International Congress of Latin Americanists, the Latin American Studies Association, and the British Academy. Over time the journal reflected methodological shifts evident in work by figures connected to University of California, Berkeley, Harvard University, Princeton University, Yale University, Columbia University, University of Chicago, University of Texas at Austin, and University of New Mexico. Editors have maintained ties with research centers such as the Instituto de Estudios Peruanos, Centro de Investigaciones Sociales, Centro Brasileiro de Análise e Planejamento, and the Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas.
The journal covers empirical and theoretical studies on nations including Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Mexico, Peru, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Cuba, Dominican Republic, Haiti, and Jamaica, and addresses diasporic communities in United States, Spain, United Kingdom, Canada, and France. Topics often engage with primary sources from archives such as the Archivo General de la Nación (Argentina), Arquivo Nacional (Brazil), Archivo General de la Nación (Peru), Archivo General de la Nación (Colombia), and libraries like the British Library and the Library of Congress. Contributions examine historical periods linked to events like the Mexican Revolution, Cuban Revolution, Chilean coup d'état, 1973, Argentine Dirty War, Nicaraguan Revolution, and treaties such as the Treaty of Tordesillas in long durée perspectives. Articles draw on debates associated with scholars from National Autonomous University of Mexico, Pontifical Catholic University of Chile, Universidad de los Andes (Colombia), Universidad de São Paulo, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, FLACSO, and El Colegio de México. Thematic special issues have addressed urban studies in Lima, Buenos Aires, São Paulo, Mexico City, and Bogotá, indigenous movements linked to Zapatista Army of National Liberation, Afro-descendant mobilizations tied to Quilombo dos Palmares, land reform episodes such as in Guatemala and Brazilian Landless Workers' Movement, and cultural criticism engaging authors like Gabriel García Márquez, Jorge Luis Borges, Octavio Paz, Carlos Fuentes, Isabel Allende, Mario Vargas Llosa, Pablo Neruda, César Vallejo, Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz, and Clarice Lispector.
Published quarterly, the journal's editorial office has been associated with university departments and research centers across United Kingdom, United States, Canada, and Latin American institutions. The editorial process uses external peer reviewers drawn from faculties at Stanford University, Duke University, University of Wisconsin–Madison, Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro, Universidad de Buenos Aires, Universidad de Chile, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, and Universidad de la Habana. The publisher, Oxford University Press, manages subscriptions and digital access alongside platforms linked to JSTOR, Project MUSE, EBSCOhost, and ProQuest. The journal accepts submissions in English and follows standard practices for copyright and licensing coordinated with entities like the Copyright Clearance Center and societies such as the Society for Latin American Studies.
