The next sections present a VERY select number of sites. This list
is not comprehensive and may not be THE BEST. Use the directories above to
find many more links. Culture, Politics and Economics are arbitrary
categories, chosen because I wanted some categories. As I see it, politics
is part of culture and culture is political, and economics is at the root
of a lot of political issues, etc. So feel free to mix these up.

Conversaciones: Email Lists
WARNING! OJO! I have not updated this list in quite a long
time. I feel sure than some of the lists are no longer active, and many more have
come into existence. Check the
new web-based list managers that allow you to browse and join exisiting
lists or to set up your own list online. See for example: Topica.com, http://www.topica.com/ or eGroups.com, http://www.eGroups.com/.
Many of the lists mentioned below use the listserv, listproc, or
majordomo software. You can generally subscribe automatically by
addressing a message to the listserv, majordomo or listproc address
provided. In the BODY of the message, you generally type [subscribe
listname yourfirstname lastname].
Some lists do not use listserv and you must send a message to an address,
perhaps [listname-request@something.somewhere.org] asking to subscribe.
Other automatic list processing software may have slightly different
protocols for subscribing and unsubscribing to lists. For detailed
information on list commands address a message to the listserv, listproc,
or majordomo address with the single word [help] in the body of the
message. You will receive a return mail message with the information you
need.
I have tried to provide the most current information available for
the lists, but addresses change and lists come and go. Even with the best
efforts, there are sometimes glitches in the process of subscribing and/or
unsubscribing to a list. Any listserv site will provide detailed
instructions on interacting with the listserv software. Also, upon
subscribing to a list, you will receive a message with basic information
on the purpose, membership rules (if any) and other necessary information.
Not all lists are available for open subscription. If this is the case,
your listserv request to subscribe will be forwarded to a list moderator
who will either sign you up, or inform you of rules for list
subscription. I did not include email links to list addresses in this
guide since participation in many lists is moderated in some way and the
new participant should take some care in the subscription process.
I have included a person's email address when possible. ALSO, I do not
have personal experience with all of these lists! I have tried to make
the information as correct as possible as of September 1998, but because
of the mercurial nature of the internet, it is not always possible to
include the most up-to-date information in a written compilation. This
list is not meant to be complete. A good way to find out more about Latin
American lists (or lists on any subject)is to subscribe to NEW-LIST (see
below) and review messages on new lists weekly. The LISZT Directory of E-Mail Discussion Groups
[http://www.liszt.com] now provides access to a gigantic,
searchable catalog of lists. Another excellent finding tool for lists is
CataList: the
Official Catalogue of Publicly Accessible
Lists,listserv software; available from L-SOFT, http://www.lsoft.com/. There are many
new web-based list managers that allow you to browse and join exisiting
lists or to set up your own list online. See for example: Topica.com, http://www.topica.com/ or eGroups.com, http://www.eGroups.com/.
Many WWW sites now provide links to list archives and newsgroups
so that it is possible to read list postings without actually subscribing.
Also, the web has made it much easier to search list archives when
available. The Reference.com,
http://www.reference.com website allows you to search for mailing
lists, newsgroups and web conferences using keywords. This site also
contains a huge searchable archive of mail lists and newsgroups.
Addresses of lists and people have been enclosed in [....] These
marks are NOT part of the addresses.
The following are a few lists devoted to Latino-related topics.
