Spanish term

miradas latinoamericanas

Spanish to English Social Sciences Social Science, Sociology, Ethics, etc.
This is part of the title of an essay:
"Ciudad, medio ambiente y relaciones de género: miradas latinoamericanas"
[Nothing else in the article talks explicitly about miradas, but a lot of it deals with different points of view of men and women, Latin-American, so not much more context, take it as it is.]

My problem is that I am not totally sure if the translation "Latin-American looks" would read well, understanding looks here as in "if looks could kill", or "he had a sad look in his eyes".
The other option I can think of, but I rather not use it because it takes the edge of the title, and is not 'sexy' at all, is "Latin-American views on city, environment and gender relationships".

So, which option do you favour? Else, can you think of a better option?

4 KudoZ points awarded for this answer. Comment: "Thank you Deborah. 23 translators including myself, came up (or agreed) with 9 possibilities including my own. Who said translation is easy?? I am going for your answer, despite having seen nothing wrong with the rest because the whole essay is about "the social and collective imaginary" of certain communities, how certain groups perceive and internalize things, as opposed to factual opinions, views or points of view. It pains me not to be able to give points to all of you, thank you all so much."

how the Latin-Americans see it

Just my version, but, given the colon, this is me impression
Note from asker:
Margaret, in fact there is actually no colon, it is one of those titles split in two different lines, if you see what I mean

The city, its environment and gender relations. The Latin American view/outlook

Options. With view and outlook, you keep a little of the "miradas" idea.
