Guidelines for NACLA assignment #2

This is the second installment of the two NACLA Report on the Americas reviews that you will submit for this class.  This review is to be at least 3-4 pages and this due date of Friday, October 22, at 11:59 PM, corresponds to South America, such as Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Ecuador, etc. Please submit your review through the Canvas in either of the following formats: doc, docx or PDF.  Late papers will be accepted but only for one week after the assigned due date and will be assessed a full grade deduction. Please use both a title page and a works cited page (neither of these pages count toward your 3-4 pages of text). Both reports will count as a combined 20% toward your final grade, with each review counting as 10% of your overall grade. In your works cited page, compose your article entry in a format like this:

Schrader, Stuart, "From Police Reform to Police Repression: 50 Years after an Assassination," NACLA Report on the Americas website (August 10, 2020).

Here is a list of articles from the NACLA website pertaining to the South America region for the October 22 due date.
