After decades of denying racism and underplaying cultural diversity, Latin American states began adopting transformative ethno-racial legislation in the late 1980s. In addition to symbolic recognition of indigenous peoples and black populations, governments in the region created a more pluralistic model of citizenship and made significant reforms in the areas of land, health, education, and development policy.

Neste segundo volume da trilogia, os autores seguem a discussão sobre o embate entre Liberdade e Igualdade ao analisarem a história da ideias políticas do pós-guerra. “A história das ideias políticas no século XX não serve como comprovação de nenhuma teoria geral sobre a história, não aponta para um destino inelutável nem atesta a verdade absoluta de alguma doutrina ideológica. Contudo, ela não é inútil pois, nas palavras de Kolak...
