2. Dr. Sharron Schwartz. "The Cornish in Latin America"

"It is my intention that this website will stimulate further interest in the historic transnational Cornish connections with many parts of Latin America. I hope that in the future we will see Cornish-Brazilian, Chilean, and Mexican associations similar to those in other parts of the Cornish world and maybe even Cornish towns twinned with their counterparts in South and Central America and the Caribbean. It is time that the Cornish in Latin America are recognised as a vital part of the Cornish diaspora."
