Louisiana Tech University history professor Dr. Stephen Webre traveled to Guatemala recently to take part in activities boosting his latest publication, a book titled “La época colonial en Guatemala: Estudios de historia cultural y social” (“The Colonial Era in Guatemala: Studies in Cultural and Social History”).

During his visit to Guatemala City, Webre spoke at book launch events held on the San Carlos University campus and at the Guatemalan Academy of Geography and History. He was also interviewed by the Prensa Libre, one of the city’s two largest daily newspapers, as well as by the university television channel.
A member of the Louisiana Tech faculty since 1982, Webre is a graduate of the University of Louisiana at Lafayette and holds the M.A. and Ph.D. in history from Tulane University. A specialist in Latin American history, his publications include three books and numerous articles in professional journals.
