“Book Descriptions: “In this important new book, Franck Gaudichaud, Massimo Modonesi, and Jeffery R. Webber provide a timely and incisive analysis of the left’s waning fortunes in Latin America over the past two decades. The limits of what they call progressivism in this convulsed region offers great lessons for popular struggles and left politics around the world. The study could not be more timely given the devastating impact that the crisis of global capitalism and the coronavirus pandemic has had on Latin America. A must-read for students Latin America and for all those concerned with advancing genuine transformative projects in the twenty-first century.” — William I. Robinson, author of Global Civil War: Capitalism Post-Pandemic” DRIVE
