Find here a wealth of resources on social change and Latin America and the Caribbean which are dispersed, or known only to specialists, or stumbled upon by chance on the net.
You can explore Latin America and the Caribbean through the Gateway. We aim to facilitate access to the increasing amount of online information that is available, from NGOs, academic and research institutes and solidarity groups in the UK, the rest of Europe and Latin America.
In the Gateway you will find paper and online resources organised by theme and by country.
You can browse using the shortcuts on your right. The Browse by Theme and Browse by Country sections contain information sheets, selected bibliographies, links to related organisations and other online sites, and related online documents/articles.
Our portal contains thousands of entries, so if you have a specific query, you can also use a our powerful Keyword search function.
The LAB Gateway is under construction. We are posting new documents and contacts every day.
