"Knox College offers a minor in Latin American studies through an interrelated array of courses about a group of nations that are our neighbors, whose economics are intertwined with our own, and whose people have immigrated to the United States in large numbers, ultimately making Spanish our de facto second language. The program raises a multiplicity of questions—about culture, power, ecology, history, literature, art, and language. Compared to a world-wide focus, engagement with these questions within a specific geographic area can lead to a deeper understanding of a region important to the United States and worthy of study in its own right."
