ReVista, the Harvard Review of Latin of Latin America, won the New England Council of Latin American Studies (NECLAS) 2017 Multimedia Prize for its "informative and stimulating reads," according to the organization's official citation. June Carolyn Erlick, editor-in-chief of the magazine, accepted the award at the NECLAS annual meeting held at the University of New Hampshire on November 4. NECLAS is a New England (and upstate New York) regional society of scholars, practicioners, students and interested professionals in Latin American and Latino issues. University of New Hampshire Professor Lori Hopkins, chair of the Multimedia Prize, observed, "The thematic issues are very useful texts to be used in classes, especially given the rich-text format that allows for students to access primary sources, and are also useful resources for scholars and resources looking for articles grouped around particular pertinent themes." She had special words about ReVista's 2016 music issue in her commendation, referring to ReVista's electronic version, revista.drclas.harvard.edu: "The Winter 2016 issue on music is especially rich and varied, and is a 'textbook' example of the many opportunities for a complex interaction with a text that multimedia resources offer to us." In another DRCLAS-related award, University at Buffalo Professor Camilo Trumper received the Marysa Navarro Best Book Prize for his book Ephemeral Histories: Public Art and the Struggle for the Street in Chile. The prize is named in honor of Dartmouth Professor emeritus Marysa Navarro, DRCLAS long-time Resident Visiting Scholar.
