Social thinkers have criticized Latin American development as incomplete, backward, and anti-modern. This volume demonstrates that, while often deeply compromised and fragmented, Latin American civil spheres have remained resilient, institutionally and culturally, generating new oppositional movements, independent journalism, rebellious intellectuals, electoral power, and critical political parties. In widely different arenas, dissidents have employed the coruscating language of the civil sphere to pollute their oppressors in the name of justice. In the 1970s and 1980s, political thinkers heralded the resurrection of Latin American civil society, envisioning a new world of freedom and stability. Corruption, inequality, racism, and exclusion become pressing and urgent 'social problems', not despite the promises of democracy, but because of them. The premise of this volume is that Latin American civil spheres are powerful, even as they are compromised, creating challenges to anti-civil culture and institutions that trigger social reform. It is the first of three volumes that place civil sphere theory in a global context.

This original, scholarly collection of essays investigates the intersections of large-scale international migration and solidarity-building. Unpacking how civil courage occurs, under what forms, and what sustains it, Carlo Tognato, Bernadette Nadya Jaworsky, and Jeffrey C. Alexander bring together authors to explore a new theory of the exemplary individual or collective in the recent age of “migration crises”—actors who stand against injuries or injustices toward migrants, even when it is costly or risky in a context of hostility or indifference. A resource for those interested in the triggers and safeguards of democracy and civil society, and for scholars and practitioners alike, this volume offers empirical case studies from the US, Europe, Australia, and Latin America of cross-group solidarity efforts.

Hoy la sociología cultural enfrenta desafíos importantes, tanto teóricos como epistemológicos, metodológicos y políticos, que dan forma a su actual frontera. Esta obra responde a esos desafíos. El argumento de los autores es que una agenda latinoamericana en sociología cultural permitirá recuperar el fervor interdisciplinario que la caracterizó en su comienzo y con ese fin han reunido en este libro una primera ronda de contribuciones al programa fuerte en sociología cultural con casos empíricos que se refieren a la realidad social mexicana, colombiana, argentina y ecuatoriana. Después de tres décadas, la sociología cultural está llamada a lidiar de manera mucho más directa con el fenómeno de la diferencia cultural; tiene que poder ofrecer conocimiento relevante y ser capaz de influir sobre la dinámica social, y tiene que poder desarrollar un ethos y una epistemología con un fuerte componente de intervención social. Dados los retos que la sociología cultural actualmente enfrenta, hay márgenes para un giro latinoamericano en la trayectoria global del programa fuerte. Toca a nosotros los científicos sociales imaginarlo y dar pasos en esa dirección.
