“…Even magic realism is based upon recollections of reality. In his Nobel laureate address, Gabriel Garcia Marquez (1982) enumerated many unbelievably strange yet true facts in the history of Latin America and concluded, "I dare to think that it is this outsized reality [of Latin American history], and not just its literary expression, that has deserved the attention of the Swedish Academy of Letters." Thus we find no support for the idea that encouraging children or adults with LI to tell stories from picture series or provoked by fantasy prompts will help them become better at creative writing at any age.…”

“…Solidarity with our dreams will not make us feel less alone, as long as it is not translated into concrete acts of legitimate support for all the peoples that assume the illusion of having a life of their own in the distribution of the world. (García Márquez, 1982, paras. 6–8)Perhaps García Márquez’s reflections speak more directly to the clinic – and to the challenges confronting us when we want to support others – than Said's.…”

This special edition has been long in the making and it is my honour and great pleasure to present it to you now.I will talk about the length of its making later since I would rather start with my excitement at its publication. This collection of articles showcases some of the complex work that has populated the world of family therapy in Latin America; 1 a work that, although aware of practices in the North, 2 has its own traditions and engagements with systemic ideas and its own unique geopolitical circumstances informing its own developments in theory and practice. In this sense then, and strictly speaking, this special issue is not just a post-colonial or a decolonial critique of the field since it also has a constructive element: it attempts to affirm difference by rescuing practices that, albeit highly complex and with a nuanced sense of what constitutes systemic work as I hope the reader will appreciate, it is grounded in a reality that is of the South, … of Latino America.

“…The emphasis on the continent's magical realism particularly in the post-1960s period is thus an acknowledgment that in the past "the interpretation of our reality through patterns not our own serves only to make us ever more unknown, ever less free, ever more solitary" (Garcia Marquez 1983). This certainly becomes clear in the ways that Ortiz Cofer differentiates the cultural forms adopted by Ramona and her daughter Marisol to help themselves interpret their differencesboth generationally and as Puerto Rican women-and hence to ground their sense of national belonging.…”

Toward the end of July 1994, the New Yorker magazine published an article on possible changes in the ethnic categories to be used by the U.S. census in the year 2000 (Wright 1994). Among the four major changes being discussed is a rather controversial proposal that would group together as a race the populations encompassed by the ethnic category "Hispanic." At present, this category officially designates and encompasses 24.5 million people from a variety of Latin American national, ethnic, gendered, social, racial, linguistic, and generational backgrounds whose sole commonality as a "group" is that they have some past or present tie to the Latin American continent and Spain. 1 Given its diversity, the proposal to designate this population as a race seems rather strange and, at the very least, should provoke some controversy-particularly since conceptions of race have historically been one of the key factors in ensuring racial minorities' political and social exclusion from the public sphere in the United States. 2 If the proposal is adopted, the notion of race will be the means through which a population, artificially constructed and otherized in the early 1970s when the "Hispanic" ethnic label was coined, would become even further differentiated in U.S. society. For even today, ethnic labels and
