Dispersing Power
Building power beyond the state.
Territories in Resistance
A thoughtful examination of social relations in Latin America, from one of the region's foremost political analysts.
Constructing Worlds Otherwise
A new collection from one of Latin America's most dynamic radical thinkers—in the tradition of Frantz Fanon and Eduardo Galeano. Constructing Worlds Otherwise sets itself against the recolonization of Latin America by one-dimensional, ethnocentric perspectives that permeate the North American left and block fundamental social change in the Global South. In a provocative mix of polemic and on-the-ground analysis, Raúl Zibechi argues that it is time for radicals in the Global North to learn from the people their governments have colonized and oppressed for centuries. Through a survey of the most marginalized voices across Latin America—feminists, the Indigenous, people of African descent,...
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. ...
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...
The New Brazil
Brazil, by any measure, is an emerging global power, exerting increasing influence both regionally and around the world. But with a growing population, enormous - and controversial - natural resources and complex vested financial interests, just how it develops that power remains an open question. Ral Zibechi, one of the most prominent emerging theorists in South America, provides a detailed examination of the shifting alliances and economic forces in Brazil that social movements must understand and engage.
Dancing with Dynamite
In the past decade, grassroots social movements played major roles in electing left - leaning governments throughout Latin America, but subsequent relations between the streets and the states remain uneasy. In Dancing with Dynamite, award - winning journalist Benjamin Dangl explores the complex ways these movements have worked with, against, and independently of national governments.From dynamite - wielding miners in Bolivia to the struggles of landless farmers in Brazil and Paraguay, Dangl discusses the dance between movements and states in seven different Latin American countries. Using original research, lively prose, and extensive interviews with workers, farmers, and politicians, he sug...
Descolonizar
Crítico de la cultura política heredada de Occidente, Raúl Zibechi expone la diferencia radical entre la cosmovisión americana y la occidental, encontrando en ello un conjunto de lecciones para las prácticas emancipatorias y los movimientos antisistémicos, en tanto "es necesario apartarse de lo hegemónico para construir algo diferente". Es una interpelación a la descolonización del pensamiento, lo que implica adentrarnos a esa cosmovisión cuyo ritmo, movimiento y dirección difiere no solo del progreso capitalista neoliberal, sino también de las clásicas tradiciones revolucionarias. Zibechi comprende que el fundamento de experiencias emancipatorias no surge del ímpetu de cambiar el mundo, sino de crear uno nuevo. Y señala que "la creatividad, única actividad transformadora, no puede sino realizarse por fuera del sistema, en los márgenes del mundo realmente existente. En esas condiciones, lo creado puede ser realmente diferente a lo instituido. Y esa diferencia puede, quizá, modificar el equilibro del mundo. O, mejor, reequilibrar lo que el desarrollo y el capitalismo han trastocado, alterado, descompuesto".
