"James Petras and Henry Veltmeyer continue to define the analytical paths that the rest will eventually follow." - Tom Brass, formerly of SPS Cambridge, and editor of The Journal of Peasant Studies"Petras and Veltmeyer present, once more, a powerful and stimulating analysis of social struggles in Latin America. They combine a deep understanding of Latin American politics with a powerful commitment to social justice. Even readers who may not share all aspects of their class-based analysis will benefit greatly from their provocative insights." - Teivo Teivainen, Professor of World Politics, University of Helsinki
