Alianza has produced numerous publications most of which are available for downloading, including informational booklets, brochures, position papers, research summaries, manuals, curricula.

Annotated Bibliography

Alianza, under the leadership of Dr. Julia Perilla, who for several years headed El Centro, Alianza’s small research center at Georgia State University, created an annotated bibliography for the purpose of presenting a compilation of literature regarding the issue of domestic violence in Latino/a populations in the United States as well as in Latin America and Spain. The articles, chapters, and books are presented in alphabetical order by author, and the language in which it is written is noted under each title. (The bibliography is now searchable by topic.)

The list includes a wide array of literature, representative of many of the current theories and methodologies regarding the issue of domestic violence. We have opted to include all the articles we have identified, without regard to their methodological or theoretical merit. We hope that the reader will be able to apply her or his own criteria as to their validity and relevance.

We hope this annotated bibliography will prove useful to the field and that it will foster innovative and culturally competent research about domestic violence in Latino communities. We look forward to our role as collaborators with other researchers, advocates, service providers, and policy makers as we continue to generate and disseminate our collective knowledge regarding the manner in which domestic violence affects our Latino families and communities.

Note to users: Not all documents included here are the product of research studies.  Also included are newspaper clippings and interviews with survivors and advocates that we hope will enhance our ability to understand more fully the human dimension of this complex phenomenon. In addition, we have included books and articles from several countries throughout Latin America and Spain, in order to provide a more thorough exploration of this topic as we look beyond our borders to the work that has been emerging throughout Spanish-speaking countries.

We realize that this bibliography is a work in progress and we invite the reader to join our efforts to continue adding new and existing literature to our list.

Creating Awareness and Raising Consciousness about Domestic Violence in Latino Communities Latino communities face an array of cultural, linguistic, and systemic barriers that have made it difficult to effectively address and eliminate domestic violence. One fundamental barrier is the continuing lack of awareness among large segments of our communities about its prevalence, nature, and impact. This report summarizes the goals, objectives and components of a bilingual Public Awareness Campaign developed by Alianza in 2001.
