Latin American Political Economy Seminar: Shifting Legal Visions: Judicial Change and Human Rights Trials in Latin America<http://ucl.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d860c8e6b006704dde5d02ead&id=cbbdcb1d05&e=b8bda7b756>
Ezequiel Gonzalez-Ocantos (Oxford) - In this talk I will present the argument developed in my book Shifting Legal Visions: Judicial Change and Human Rights Trials in Latin America (forthcoming, Cambridge University Press). The book develops a sociological institutionalist theory of judicial decision making to explain the explosion of human rights trials in Latin America since 2000.
Venue: UCL Institute of the Americas, 51 Gordon Square, London WC1H 0PN

Book launch: A Hidden History of the Cuban Revolution<http://ucl.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d860c8e6b006704dde5d02ead&id=00d2b396b0&e=b8bda7b756>
Steve Cushion - To both its supporters and detractors, the Cuban Revolution is almost universally understood as having been won by a small band of guerrillas. This book turns the conventional wisdom on its head, and argues that the Cuban working class played a much more decisive role in the Revolution’s outcome than previously understood. It contends that significant portions of the Cuban working class launched an underground movement in tandem with the guerrillas operating in the mountains.
Venue: UCL Institute of the Americas, 51 Gordon Square, London WC1H 0PN

Seminar: Gay Purges and the Canadian Department of Foreign Affairs during the Cold War<http://ucl.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=d860c8e6b006704dde5d02ead&id=b86ddefe72&e=b8bda7b756>
Dr Hector Mackenzie (Global Affairs Canada and Carleton University) - By a tortuous chain of illogic and prejudice, the principal targets of the security service of the Royal Canadian mounted Police during the Cold War were gay and lesbian public servants. Presumptions were made about ‘character weakness’, vulnerability to entrapment or blackmail and consequently risk of betrayal, so that large numbers of loyal public servants were dismissed or purged without any evidence or even grounds for suspicion of unauthorized disclosure of government secrets to foreign (I.e. Soviet) agents.

Talks and film screening: The African Diaspora, the Afro-Question and the Moving Image in the Americas: From the Civil Rights Movement & the Cuban Revolution to Barack Obama<http://ucl.us12.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=d860c8e6b006704dde5d02ead&id=cf70a1eaed&e=b8bda7b756>
UCL Institute of the Americas is pleased to support the multidisciplinary project 'The Other and the Moving Image' convened by Dr Vladimir Smith-Mesa (UCL SSEES - Library Services). The first of three events, an evening of talks and screenings, is a UK celebration of the 130th anniversary of the abolition of slavery in Cuba which also serves to mark a significant date in the history of the Americas: the first visit of the first Afro-American US President, Barack Obama to Havana, Cuba.
Venue: UCL Bloomsbury Theatre Studio, 15 Gordon Street, London WC1H 0AH
