Struggles for Social Rights in Latin America

"This is a big, bountiful anthology that addresses the most pressing issues of social injustice and the movements that have responded to them in Latin America." -- June Nash, author of Mayan Visions
"A timely and important collection in the wake of new crosscurrents of globalization, when social movements are seeking institutional change, and human rights are being reappraised and questioned on many fronts." -- Kay Warren, co-editor of Indigenous Movements,Self-Representation, and the State in Latin America
"Susan Eckstein and Timothy Wickham-Crowley have put together a vastly illuminating collection on contemporary popular struggles in Latin America. The essays are excellent, empirically vivid, and analytically penetrating." -- Frances Fox Piven, co-author of PoorPeoples' Movements: Why They Succeed, How They Fail
"A welcome and fairly cohesive sampling of a year's 'greatest hits' in Latin American studies... what makes the volume important is that the distinct analytical lenses are used in ways that are fluid and accessible, as well as informative and convincing." -- Perspectives on Politics
"Cynthia Wood's djustment with a Women's Face: Gender and Macroeconomic Policy at the World Bank" is alone worth the price of the book... This book is filled with articles that would contribute to both graduate and undergraduate courses." -- Contemporary Sociology, DaisyQuarm
"This is a big, bountiful anthology that addresses the most pressing issues of social injustice and the movements that have responded to them in Latin America." -- June Nash, author of Mayan Visions: The Quest forAutonomy in an Age of Globalization
