Beskrivning

New Democratic Initiatives in Authoritarian Twenty-First Century Latin America uses a multidisciplinary approach to understand the coincidence of emerging social movements, seeking more meaningful forms of democratic participation, on the one hand, and the rise of new authoritarian politics that in part rely on chaos and disorder as mechanisms of domination, on the other. This edited collection argues that Latin America has entered a new phase of political and economic volatility in which traditional conceptual divisions between democracy and authoritarianism need to be re-thought. How are democratic movements coping with and reacting to the new right-wing politics of Jair Bolsonaro and Javier Milei, which among other things, attempt to incorporate the popular classes? Does the “second pink tide” offer meaningful avenues for popular empowerment? How are counter hegemonic struggles built? What are the challenges and opportunities faced by women, queer and trans people, cultural workers, people with disabilities and indigenous groups in this conjuncture? These are the key questions addressed in this book.

Recensioner i media

“This collective volume sheds a powerful bright light on the complex dynamics of Latin American politics in the current context of capitalist development in the neoliberal era. The editors have met the challenge of dissecting these dynamics by bringing together seventeen leading scholars from across diverse social science disciplines and with different theoretical perspectives and analytical tools to unravel the complex issues involved. The book is very well constructed with highly relevant and revealing case studies and theoretical discussion. And it makes a significant contribution to the cutting-edge debates that surround these issues. It is a must-read for scholars and students in the broad field of Latin American development and anyone seeking to understand the political dynamics of global capitalism.”
