Following the election of Hugo Chavez to the Venezuelan presidency,
and the Cochabamba water wars, Latin American politics were
radicalised and their governments populated with former activists
and trade union leaders. In this book, renowned Latin Americanist
Mike Gonzalez explores the course of the Left in Latin American
politics. In the last few years, Latin America's Left have suffered
many setbacks and reactionary challenges, which has led many to
wonder if the 'Pink Tide' is on the wane. Gonzalez argues that
whilst left-wing developments have been widely celebrated, less has
been written to address the problems that have arisen. Through
examination of the successes and failings of Argentina, Bolivia,
Brazil, Chile, Ecuador and Venezuela, Gonzalez is able to identify
weaknesses and strengths and suggest possible future pathways for
the Left in nations across Latin America. Providing a critical but
sympathetic analysis of the records of the left governments across
the continent, Gonzalez offers a refreshing reflection on the
prospects and future of Latin American politics, asking whether
Chavez's vision of twenty-first century socialism may ever be
realised.
