This groundbreaking text explores the dramatic evolution in Latin
American social movements over the past fifteen years. Leading
scholars examine a variety of cases that highlight significant
shifts in the region. First is the breakdown of the Washington
Consensus and the global economic crisis since 2008, accompanied by
the rise of new paradigms such as buen vivir (living well). Second
are transformations in internal movement dynamics and strategies,
especially the growth of horizontalism (horizontalidad), which
emphasizes non-hierarchical relations within society rather than
directly tackling state power. Third are new dynamics of resistance
and repression as movements interact with the "pink tide" rise of
left-of-center governments in the region. Exploring outcomes and
future directions, the contributors consider the variations between
movements arising from immediate circumstances (such as Oaxaca's
2006 uprising and Brazil's 2013 bus fare protests) and
longer-lasting movements (Via Campesina, Brazil's MST, and Mexico's
Zapatistas). Assessing both the continuities in social movement
dynamics and important new tendencies, this book will be essential
reading for all students of Latin American politics and society.
