Latin American responses to neo-liberalism and globalization have been varied; and their responses to policies have often included social and political struggles. This volume presents diverse perspectives on these issues from a variety of perspectives, both theoretically and methodologically. The book is divided into two sections, each treating different topics under a common header. The first section analyzes development strategies while the second section deals with rights, identity formation, and social movements' struggles as responses to the consequences of neo-liberal policies. The book includes examples from Brazil, Peru, Mexico, Bolivia, and Uruguay.
