The Impasse of the Latin American Left

The book examines the Pink Tide in Latin America, highlighting the rise of progressive movements and the election of leftist governments at the start of the twenty-first century. While these governments aimed to redistribute resources and counter neoliberalism, they ultimately fell short in transforming societal class structures and confronting imperial influences from the U.S. and China. As the Pink Tide recedes, the authors analyze this critical period, assessing both the achievements and shortcomings of the left, and the factors contributing to the resurgence of right-wing politics.
