Neoliberalism changed the face of Latin America and left average
citizens struggling to cope in many ways. Popular sectors were
especially hard hit as wages declined and unemployment increased.
The backlash to neoliberalism in the form of popular protest and
electoral mobilization opened space for leftist governments to
emerge. The turn to left governments raised popular expectations
for a second wave of incorporation. Although a growing literature
has analyzed many aspects of left governments, there is no study of
how the redefinition of the organized popular sectors, their
allies, and their struggles have reshaped the political arena to
include their interests-until now. This volume examines the role
played in the second wave of incorporation by political parties,
trade unions, and social movements in five cases: Argentina,
Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, and Venezuela. The cases shed new light
on a subject critical to understanding the change in the
distribution of political power related to popular sectors and
their interests-a key issue in the study of postneoliberalism.
