Reframing Latin American Development

Reviews / Votes

"This inspiring book, by reflecting on the experiences of Latin America's "Progressive Wave" and of social movements like 'La Via Campesina" and the Zapatistas, which attempt to create a "post-neoliberal" world, makes a refreshing contribution to critical development studies." Cristobal Kay, Emeritus Professor at the International Institute of Social Studies, Erasmus University Rotterdam, Netherlands

"Reframing the Development Question in Latin America is an excellent collection providing innovative insights into progressive and alternative strategies of development in Latin America. The book is a valuable and thought-provoking contribution to the literature on development, grass-roots social movements, and the failings of neoliberalism in the region." Tamar Diana Wilson, Independent Researcher, Mexico

"This book provides an extremely important contribution to the current debate on the process of transformative social change underway in Latin America. It is written by scholars who are at the cutting edge of current debates on alternative development thinking and practice. A must read for those seeking to move beyond the destructive forces of capitalist development." James Petras, Professor (Emeritus), State University of New York at Binghampton, USA

"Professors Munck, Delgado Wise and their all-star team have produced a book of critical importance for scholars of development and social change in Latin America and beyond. At a time when the world capitalist system is descending into crisis, the 'Left turn' in the region faces the challenge of rethinking development beyond extractivism, and the Right is on the move to reimpose the tyranny of the market, these essays provide thoughtful debate on the way forward for popular alternatives to a predatory global capitalism. Taken as a whole, they set forth a renovated critical development studies from a Latin American standpoint." William I. Robinson, Professor of Sociology, Global, and Latin American Studies, University of California at Santa Barbara, USA

"A welcome and refreshing coherent volume on diverse themes that explores progressive and critical development studies over the past twenty years, identifying new trends and updating debates on past and present issues." Ronald H. Chilcote, Edward A. Dickson Emeritus Professor of Economics and Political Science, University of California, USA
