Neoextractivism and Territorial Disputes in Latin America
This book reflects on the continuing expansion of extractive forms of capitalist development into new territories in Latin America, and the resistance movements that are trying to combat the ecological and social destruction that follows. Latin American development models continue to prioritise extractivism: the intensive exploitation and exportation of nature in its primary commodity form. This constant expansion of the extractive frontier into new territories leads to a continuing process and dialectic of colonization, de-colonization and re-colonization which the authors describe as ‘territorialities in dispute’. This book uncovers the underlying trends and dynamics of these territori...
The Cosmopolitics of Solidarity
This volume discusses how commonality and difference are negotiated across heterogeneous social movements in Latin America, especially Peru. It applies cosmopolitics as an analytical lens to understand the intricacies of social movement encounters across difference, without imposing colonial hierarchies or categorizations. The author blends multiple theoretical approaches—such as social movement research, postcolonial feminism, and post-foundational discourse theory—with ethnographic insights to develop a theory of cosmopolitical solidarity. Providing a transnational and intersectional perspective on the politics of social justice in a postcolonial context, this book will appeal to students of social movements, gender studies, racism, Latin American studies, and international relations, as well as practitioners involved in activism, social work, or international cooperation.
Until the Rulers Obey
Until the Rulers Obey brings together voices from the movements behind the wave of change that swept Latin America at the turn of the twenty-first century. These movements have galvanized long-silent—or silenced—sectors of society: indigenous people, campesinos, students, the LGBT community, the unemployed, and all those left out of the promised utopia of a globalized economy. They have deployed a wide range of strategies and actions, sometimes building schools or clinics, sometimes occupying factories or fields, sometimes building and occupying political parties to take the reins of the state, and sometimes resisting government policies in order to protect their newfound power in commun...
Beyond Civil Society
The contributors to Beyond Civil Society argue that the conventional distinction between civic and uncivic protest, and between activism in institutions and in the streets, does not accurately describe the complex interactions of forms and locations of activism characteristic of twenty-first-century Latin America. They show that most contemporary political activism in the region relies upon both confrontational collective action and civic participation at different moments. Operating within fluid, dynamic, and heterogeneous fields of contestation, activists have not been contained by governments or conventional political categories, but rather have overflowed their boundaries, opening new de...
Global Authoritarianism
We are witnessing a worldwide resurgence of reactionary nationalist, religious, racist, and antifeminist ideologies and movements, as well as a rapid process of global de-democratization. Nevertheless, most studies remain tied to a methodological nationalism, while comparative research is almost exclusively limited to European countries and the USA. But authoritarian transformations in the Global South and the struggles against them have not only been at least as dramatic as in the North, they also often date back longer - and have been studied and theorized by Southern scholars for many years. Twenty scholar-activists from the Global South show in their in-depth studies how national processes of authoritarian capitalism have undermined political systems on a global scale.
Transcontinental Dialogues
Transcontinental Dialogues brings together Indigenous and non-Indigenous anthropologists from Mexico, Canada, and Australia who work at the intersections of Indigenous rights, advocacy, and action research. These engaged anthropologists explore how obligations manifest in differently situated alliances, how they respond to such obligations, and the consequences for anthropological practice and action. This volume presents a set of pieces that do not take the usual political or geographic paradigms as their starting point; instead, the particular dialogues from the margins presented in this book arise from a rejection of the geographic hierarchization of knowledge in which the Global South co...
From Coldwar Communism to the Global Emancipatory Movement
Boaventura de Sousa Santos says: 'This is an admirable memoir of an intellectual activist who has lived most intensely the progressive struggles of the last sixty years of world history, because despite being born in Europe, Peter, in the best tradition of communist internationalism, participated in struggles and movements, not only in Central and Eastern Europe, but also in Africa and most recently in Latin America. But this is much more than a memoir. It is so well documented that in this personal experience there are reflected some of the most decisive events of contemporary history. It is a living history book. But even more than this, this book is so clearly and vividly written that at ...
Territórios em rebeldia
Raúl Zibechi é um dos mais importantes pesquisadores das lutas sociais na América Latina, e sua obra expressa uma tradição fundamental do pensamento radical da região, vivamente conectada e vinculada aos territórios e movimentos coletivos. Apesar de sua imensa relevância, apenas uma parte bastante diminuta de sua obra encontra-se publicada em português. A presente coletânea pretende contribuir para começar a sanar essa lacuna editorial no Brasil, mas também fazer reverberar um tipo de intervenção que retoma a hipótese autonomista das lutas, para seguir pensando e caminhando com aquelas e aqueles que resistem em um continente conflagrado pela guerra permanente contra os povos. ...
The Routledge History of Latin American Culture
The Routledge History of Latin American Culture delves into the cultural history of Latin America from the end of the colonial period to the twentieth century, focusing on the formation of national, racial, and ethnic identity, the culture of resistance, the effects of Eurocentrism, and the process of cultural hybridity to show how the people of Latin America have participated in the making of their own history. The selections from an interdisciplinary group of scholars range widely across the geographic spectrum of the Latin American world and forms of cultural production. Exploring the means and meanings of cultural production, the essays illustrate the myriad ways in which cultural output illuminates political and social themes in Latin American history. From religion to food, from political resistance to artistic representation, this handbook showcases the work of scholars from the forefront of Latin American cultural history, creating an essential reference volume for any scholar of modern Latin America.
Nuevas derechas autoritarias
¿Cómo es que Jair Bolsonaro llega al poder en Brasil o que en Colombia gana el NO en el referéndum del Acuerdo de Paz? ¿Qué hay detrás de la campaña contra la llamada “ideología de género”? ¿Hay un retorno de militares y actores religiosos al centro de la política? ¿Qué ofrecen las ideologías autoritarias a sus seguidores? ¿En qué medida América Latina es parte de la tendencia global hacia nuevas derechas reaccionarias? Doce autoras y autores responden a estas y otras preguntas. Exploran la derechización en la región después y en reacción a un ciclo político dominado por los progresismos; el giro autoritario después de un período más largo de relativa democratización. En conjunto dibujan el perfil de esas nuevas derechas latinoamericanas. A la vez que reflexionan sobre las debilidades de las izquierdas y buscan luces para configurar horizontes más justos y solidarios.
