Latin American social movements and progressive governments : creative tensions between resistance and convergence

This book examines the tensions and convergences between social movements and twenty-first century progressive Latin American governments.

Focusing on feminist, indigenous, environmental, rural, and labor movements, leading scholars present a well-rounded picture on a controversial topic and argue against the accepted view that robust Latin American social movements are independent of the state.

This cutting-edge book will be an invaluable supplement for Latin American studies and beyond for courses on democracy, peace studies, labor studies, gender studies, and ethnic studies.
