Além do PT
Na abertura do presente ensaio, Fabio Luis Barbosa dos Santos declara não se arrepender de ter votado e defendido o PT. Não é o único, claro. Porém, de tanto se votar e defender, naturalizou-se a identificação entre esquerda e PT. Nela reside um dos principais fatores do imobilismo político de agora. Por isso, o autor considera um imperativo político incontornável fazer o luto do PT. Diante da crise terminal que o consome, por que não ajudar seus militantes a atravessar o estágio inicial de negação — e de paranoia — em que se encontram? Ao contrário do que ainda fantasiam, não era bem um cerco que vinha se armando e fechando em torno da esquerda. Fazia tempo que o PT era ...
The Radical Right: Politics of Hate on the Margins of Global Capital
This book discusses five cases of hatred politics on the margins of global capital: Turkey under Erdogan (since 2003), Hungary under Orbán (2010), India under Modi (2014), the Philippines under Duterte (2016) and Brazil under Bolsonaro (2019).
O médico e o monstro
Na clássica novela de Stevenson, O médico e o monstro, o respeitável dr. Jekyll, após experimentos desastrosos, liberta seu cruel alter ego, sr. Hyde, o que faz da obra uma metáfora da natureza dual dos indivíduos. Tomando emprestada da literatura essa chave analítica, Fabio Luis Barbosa dos Santos e Daniel Feldmann discutem as contradições do progressismo na América Latina. Dividido em duas partes — a primeira concentrada no panorama geral do continente, a segunda dedicada ao contexto do governo Bolsonaro —, este livro procura elucidar como a política progressista fortaleceu uma lógica econômica incapaz de romper em definitivo com as práticas neoliberais e, diante disso, aprofundou as "fraturas sociais que suas técnicas de governo pretenderam mitigar". Como resposta, fomentou-se a ascensão de uma onda conservadora ainda mais comprometida com os interesses dos "de cima" e ainda mais violenta com a resposta contestadora das ruas. Ao final, os autores identificam pontos valiosos para um futuro de nações emancipadas, comprometidas com soluções efetivas para os problemas populares e que rejeitem qualquer forma de "mal menor".
Challenging the Right, Augmenting the Left
What does the future hold for the left? How does the left adapt to, and prepare for, the crises of our time? In moments of crisis it is always important to rethink longstanding assumptions, jettison wishful thinking and dated ideas, and recover wisdom from the past. In so doing, we have the opportunity to plot a new way forward. The authors of this edited collection do just this: putting forward a diversity of approaches and issues to strategize for the work that awaits us in the 2020s, particularly in the struggle against capitalism, climate change and the far right. Working within five major thematic areas, the contributors examine how to engage working class people in anti-capitalist stru...
Society and Economy in Venezuela
This book presents an overview of the economic policies adopted by the Bolivarian governments of Hugo Chávez and Nicolás Maduro in Venezuela between 1998 and 2018, and the economic and social results of these policies. The recent history of Venezuela has attracted much attention due to Chávez’s and Maduro’s self-declared search for socialism since the beginning of the 21st century and the economic trajectory of the country in this period, which experienced significant economic growth during the international oil boom in the first decade of the century, followed by a huge economic crisis in the second decade. The volume adopts an economic history approach, taking into account both econ...
Persistence and Emergencies of Inequalities in Latin America
This book adopts a multidimensional approach to analyze both the historical and emerging factors that contribute to make Latin America and the Caribbean the most unequal region in the world. Social inequality is a historical characteristic of the region, but at the beginning of the 21st century, a handful of progressive governments seemed to be adopting policies that could reduce this historical trend. Many of these efforts, however, were blocked or reversed by the COVID-19 pandemic, which both exposed the persistence of historical trends and contributed to the emergency of new forms of inequality in the region. The different chapters in this contributed volume adopt a multidimensional, inte...
