- Summary:
- The simultaneous development of prominent social movements and the election of left and center-left governments has radically altered the political landscape in Latin America. Social Movements and Leftist Governments in latin America moves beyond simple discussion of these social movements to address a crucial issue that has yet to be properly analyzed-what is the position of the social movements after progressive governments take power? Are they co-opted in support of state policies or do they remain opponents?
- This unique and important work explores these questions, shedding new light on how these social movements continue to operate in Latin America. Book jacket.
