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, as well as a prizes 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.
