JILAR has been the academic journal of the Association of Iberian and Latin American Studies of Australasia (AILASA) since 1995. Its focus is the publication of high-quality research in Iberian and Latin American Studies by academics from around the world, as well as those based in Australasia.
The journal is internationally refereed, edited by an editorial committee based in Sydney and is genuinely inter-disciplinary, covering such fields as history, politics, international relations, sociology, literature, development studies, linguistics, cultural studies and popular culture. JILAR publishes contributions in Spanish, Portuguese and English.
At JILAR we seek to create space for issues and debates, as well as individual articles. Past numbers have included special issues on Mexican Secret Police Archives, Latin America and the Shifting Sands of Global Power, Latin America and Transnational Solidarities, Politics of Identity in Latin American Censuses and Centre-Periphery Relations in Iberian and Latin American Cultural Studies. Each issue also includes a book review section for important new scholarly works relating to the Luso-Hispanic world and the Caribbean.
JILAR is abstracted and indexed with EBSCOhost, Humanities International Complete, MLA International Bibliography, TOC Premier (Table of Contents), 1/1/2010, Elsevier BV, Scopus, 2010-, Gale and ProQuest.
