El interés que la noción de multiculturalismo ha suscitado en el mundo contemporáneo no es nada desdeñable, debido a los cuestionamientos y debates que se han originado con gran ímpetu alrededor de la necesidad del respeto y la tolerancia de las diferencias culturales, que hoy más que nunca, no cesan de enunciarse y esbozarse. Se trata de un "espíritu del tiempo" que está presente de manera cada vez más intensa en los discursos políticos y la gestión en las sociedades llamadas democráticas, al punto de convertirse en la actualidad sin que esto deje de tener rasgos paradójicos- en la ideología "políticamente correcta" que toda tecnología de gobierno debe adoptar.
This book explores distinct forms of civil resistance in situations of violent conflict in cases across Latin America, drawing important lessons learned for nonviolent struggles in the region and beyond. The authors analyse campaigns against armed actors in situations of internal armed conflict, against private sector companies that seek to exploit natural resources, and against the state in defence of housing rights, to cite only some scenarios of violent conflict in which people in Latin America have organized to resist imposition by powerful actors and/or confront violence and oppression. Each of the nine cases studied looks at the violent context in which civil resistance took place, its modality, its results and the factors that influenced these, as well as the challenges faced, offering useful insights for scholars and practitioners alike.
