GUIDELINES FOR THE SUBMISSION OF ARTICLE
LAIL Journal invites original, unpublished studies about the literature of the indigenous peoples of Latin America as well as unpublished examples of Indian literature with an introduction and commentary. Bilinear indigenous texts (indigenous language and English / Spanish) are very welcome. Submissions are blind refereed. Although papers are accepted in English or Spanish, individuals with a command of English are strongly urged to submit their papers in that language. Generally, we publish one article per number in Spanish.
