Summary

This book is a one-stop guide to the revival of social democratic and socialist politics across the region. At the end of the Cold War, after decades of neoliberal domination and the "Washington Consensus," it seemed that the left was finished in Latin America. But in fact new opportunities sprang up through electoral politics and mass action. Warning against over-simplification, this book offers detailed historical analysis of Latin America as a whole and country-specific case studies. From the anti-imperialism of the Bolivarian Alternative for the Americas in Venezuela, Bolivia and Cuba, to the more gradualist routes being taken in Chile, Argentina and Brazil,Reclaiming Latin Americagives a real sense of the plurality of political responses to popular discontent.
