That's really good news, especially the "open access" part.... it is one
of life's little ironies that so much "academic" writing on the subject of
the "global south" by (presumably) intelligent people is financially off
the scale compared to the salaries of those of us who actually live here.
So I'm looking forward to some stimulating content that I can actually
afford to read and maybe even contribute to from Latin America.
All the best with it
Hazel
