“This edited volume is a welcome addition to a growing body of scholarship on the ‘postneoliberal era, as the authors draw from a broad range of cases and theoretical approaches to account for the heterogeneity of political, social, and cultural processes currently under way. . . . This book’s key contribution is to show how the economic and political upheavals of the 1980s and 1990s reconfigured Latin American societies and politics. . . . In sum, this book meets its goal of giving scholars and students of politics in Latin America crucial insights regarding the transformation of social, political, and cultural processes initiated by the neoliberal restructuring.”
