Over the last two decades, military and authoritarian regimes in
Latin America have receded as indigenous social movements and
popular protests have demanded and won peaceful transitions to
democratically-elected governments. Across the entire Southern
hemisphere, democracy arose with a radical flourish, bringing
dramatic changes in politics, education, civil society, and the
media. Historically, revolution in Latin America has been depicted
as civil war, violent conflict, and armed resistance, but recent
social change has resulted from the political power of mass social
movements reflected in elections and government policy change
rather than guerrilla insurgencies. The Pink Tide investigates the
relationship between media access and democracy, arguing that
citizen participation in broadcasting is a primary indicator of the
changed social relations of power in each country. Democracy has
meaning only to the extent that citizens participate in discussion
and decisions. This book demonstrates that participation in public
communication is a prime ingredient in democratic action and
citizen self-organization, a vital means for constructing new
cultural practices and social norms.
