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 nonhierarchical 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 leftofcenter governments in the region. Exploring outcomes and future directions, the contributors consider the variations between movements arising from immediate circumstances (such as Oaxacas 2006 uprising and Brazils 2013 bus fare protests) and longerlasting movements (Va Campesina, Brazils MST, and Mexicos 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.Contributions by: Marc Becker, George CiccarielloMaher, Kwame Dixon, Fran Espinoza, Daniela Issa, Nathalie Lebon, Maurice Rafael Magaa, Mara Elena MartinezTorres, Sara C.
