COLLEGIAL SEMINAR will meet at noon on November 5 in the Private Dining Room. The presentation will be
"Reconstructing the Latin American Left: Lessons from Northeastern Brazil" by Dr. William Nylen, Assistant
Professor in the Department of Political Science. The contemporary political Left has been set adrift by the
worldwide 'failure' of socialism. But the obvious and painful failure of capitalism to improve standards of living
in Latin America has given that region's Left an opportunity to reconstruct what socialism means, or could mean.
Dr. Nylen will discuss this topic as it relates to his Summer 1993 field research in Northeastern Brazil. Focusing
on Brazil's Workers' Party (whose candidate for next year's presidential elections is strongly favored to win), the
presentation describes what 'reconstructed socialism' looks like in two small Northeastern Brazilian towns, and
what it might look like in Brazil next year. Coffee and dessert provided by Dean Maris of the College of Arts and
Sciences. From: Paul Steeves, Coordinator, Collegial Seminars
