Summary

"In 1999 I published a book with a collection of articles I wrote during the two decades preceding it. I titled it Counterpoints because, as its subtitle indicates, these texts deal with authoritarianism, democracy, and their mutual implications. The present volume is another collection of articles, published after Counterpoints. Its title, Dissonances, expresses my feelings about the democracies we have achieved in Latin America and elsewhere, and my belief that they must be submitted to what the subtitle indicates: Democratic Critiques of Democracy.
