<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"The left-wing Pink Tide movement that swept across Latin America seems now to be overturned, as a new wave of free-market thinkers emerge across the continent. This book analyses the emergence of corporate power within Latin America and the response of egalitarian movements across the continent trying to break open the constraints of the state. Through an ethnographically grounded and localized anthropological perspective, this book argues that at a time when the regular structures of political participation have been ruptured, the Latin American context reveals multiple expressions of egalitarian movements that strive (and sometimes momentarily manage) to break through the state's apparatus"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p> The left-wing Pink Tide movement that swept across Latin America seems now to be overturned, as a new wave of free-market thinkers emerge across the continent.

Highly Recommended.</em> <strong>- Choice</strong></p> <p> <em>"This is a superb and timely set of studies that assess the lasting effects of a recent trend, now subsided, of left and left-leaning governments on politics and daily life for common people in a range of Latin American societies."</em> <strong>- George E. Marcus</strong>, University of California</p> <p> <em>"To my mind, there are no other books or works on Latin America that have this double focus on the corporate state and egalitarianism. In sum, the book provides a wealth of novel arguments to understand the rise, maturation and afterlife of one of the most important and complex political turns to the left after the year 2000"</em> <strong>- Bjorn Enge Bertelsen</strong>, University of Bergen</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p> <strong>Alessandro Zagato</strong> is the founder of the Research Group in Art and Politics (GIAP) and of the centre of residences for artists and researchers, CASA GIAP, and Latin America's regional representative for the Artists at Risk Connection program of PEN America.
