Latin America at the Crossroads Domination, Crisis, Popular Movements, And Political Alternatives

Also available in Spanish As tension between Latin America and the United States spills on to the world stage, Roberto Regalado provides an incisive analysis of the issues underlying the conflict.

With remarkable clarity and breadth, Regalado describes a resurgent Latin America struggling anew to break free from its history of domination and exploitation, explaining how the recent strengthening of popular movementsâ??from the water struggles in Bolivia to the landless movement in Brazilâ??has led to the strategic and tactical redefinition of left political parties and other social movements and a revisiting of the perennial question: reform or revolution?

This up-to-the-moment edition considers the significance of recent events in Latin America including coca farmer Evo Moralesâ??s electoral victory in Bolivia and the escalating conflict between Venezuela's President Chávez and Washington.

Roberto Regalado is one of Cuba´s most prominent intellectuals and commentators, having studied and written on Latin American politics for more than three decades.
