Aviva Chomsky

Aviva Chomsky (born April 20, 1957) is currently a professor and the coordinator of Latin American studies at Salem State College. She has previously been a professor at Bates College and a faculty research associate at Harvard University, specializing in the history of Latin America and the Caribbean. She is the eldest daughter of linguist and political activist Noam Chomsky. She is able to speak and/or read seven languages.

Her book "West Indian Workers and the United Fruit Company in Costa Rica 1870–1940" relates the history of the U.S.-based companies which built railroads and cultivated bananas on the Atlantic Coast of Costa Rica and which merged to form United Fruit in 1899. It also describes how the workers, including many Jamaicans, originally of African descent, developed their own parallel socio-economic system. The book was awarded the 1997 Best Book Prize by the New England Council of Latin American Studies.

She has also co-edited books including "The People Behind the Coal", "Identity and Struggle at the Margins of the Nation-State", and "The Cuba Reader: History, Culture, Politics" (Latin America Readers).
