The following speech was written in acceptance of the Distinguished Service Award of the Conference on Latin American History (CLAH) for 2020, would have been delivered at the January 2021 meeting of the American Historical Association/CLAH, were it not for the coronavirus pandemic. I share this award with the majority of the members of CLAH: the scholar-teachers of Latin American history who dedicate most of their professional time and energy to teaching undergraduates across North America. Harking back to Herbert Bolton's project for a hemispheric history, incidents and anecdotes from my own experience learning and teaching about Latin America serve to illustrate that reducing provincialism, chauvinism, and ethnocentrism among North American undergraduates are still valid objectives.

以下演讲是为接受 2020 年拉丁美洲历史会议 (CLAH) 杰出服务奖而撰写的，如果不是因为冠状病毒大流行，本应在 2021 年 1 月的美国历史协会/CLAH 会议上发表。我与 CLAH 的大多数成员分享这个奖项：拉丁美洲历史的学者型教师，他们将大部分专业时间和精力用于在北美教授本科生。回顾赫伯特博尔顿的半球历史项目，我自己学习和教授拉丁美洲的经验中的事件和轶事有助于说明减少北美本科生的地方主义、沙文主义和种族中心主义仍然是有效的目标。
