The Cold War claimed many lives and inflicted tremendous psychological pain throughout the Americas. The extreme polarization that resulted from pitting capitalism against communism held most of the creative and productive energy of the twentieth century captive. Many artists responded to Cold War struggles by engaging in activist art practice, using creative expression to mobilize social change. The Art of Solidarity examines how these creative practices in the arts and culture contributed to transnational solidarity campaigns that connected people across the Americas from the early twentieth century through the Cold War and its immediate aftermath.

S�mbolo y testimonio de una academia sin imposturas, una ciudadan�a solidaria y una comunicaci�n de doble v�a, el profesor Guillermo Hoyos V�squez no fue inferior al reto de pensar en un momento hist�rico como el nuestro, en el que no solo han hecho crisis las certezas, sino adem�s la confianza.(...)

In A Dynamic Theory of Populism in Power, Julio F. Carrión examines the relationship between populism in power and democracy. He studies five Latin American populist presidencies and explains why and how democracy perished under four of them but survived in one.

With contributions from 22 scholars and empirical material from 29 countries within and beyond Latin America, this book identifies subtypes of populism to further understand right-wing populist movements, parties, leaders, and governments. It seeks to examine whether the term populism continues to have any validity and what relationship(s) it has to democracy. Part 1 is an exploration of populism as an analytical concept.

Part 2 focuses on political economy, and specifically whether politi...
