5 1 EDITOR'S NOTE Welcome to the springvolume ofthe World HistoryReview. This edition represents the second of three volumes for the academic year. Keeping to its mission to publish quality work on any topic from any region of the world, the spring edition features an article byrobert Jackson on colonial LatinAmerica and an articleby Melody Yarborough on AIDSand efforts to combatthe disease inthe modem United States. Both articles offer the latest research on the topics and they are sure to intrigue you. On behalfof the editors of the World History Review I want to thankthe scholars who havesubmitted manuscripts andbook reviews for consideration. The success of any professional journal rests with the individuals who offer submissions, who agree to act as referees, and who subscribe to the publication. As a start-up enterprise, the WHR has been fortunate to have benefited from all three vital elements. While it is too early to say that the journal is suffering from success, it is certainly moving in the right direction. Sonny B. Davis Editor 5
