These are opening up new strategies and opportunities for activists, and offer new arenas of contestation for international organizations. The book analyzes the struggles of select marginalized groups, specifically the urban poor, indigenous groups, women's and LGBTQ groups, and the vulnerable middle classes. Each case is examined in the context of a distinct struggle for citizenship, identity, inclusion, and or the rule of law. The study offers a broad historical analysis of the region through the context of these struggles. It tackles some of the most pressing issues surrounding the current politics of Latin America, including identity politics, cultural appropriation, social mobilization and protest, neoliberal reform, reproductive rights and sexual autonomy, corruption, the influence of religion and patriarchy, crime and social justice, inequality and poverty, the informal economy, and urban exclusion. In doing so, it details not only how these are not new struggles, but also how they have evolved over time. In the contemporary period, the book explores how the actors as well as character of their struggle are changing through a globalized interchange of ideas and processes. The book covers a wide geographical area in Latin America, with a particular focus on countries with Spanish or Portuguese colonial backgrounds, and is for researchers, students and laypersons interested in new globalizing forces affecting Latin American society and polity. 410 0$aEmerging Globalities and Civilizational Perspectives,$x2731-0639 606 $aSocial justice 606 $aHuman rights 606 $aIdentity politics 606 $aSociology 606 $aLatin America$xHistory 606 $aSocial Justice 606 $aPolitics and Human Rights 606 $aIdentity Politics 606 $aSociology 606 $aLatin American History 615 0$aSocial justice. 615 0$aHuman rights. 615 0$aIdentity politics. 615 0$aSociology. 615 0$aLatin America$xHistory. 615 14$aSocial Justice. 615 24$aPolitics and Human Rights. 615 24$aIdentity Politics. 615 24$aSociology. 615 24$aLatin American History. 676 $a340.59 676 $a305.56098 700 $aArceneaux$b Craig L.$01258264 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910595028703321 996 $aPolitical Struggle in Latin America$92915933 997 $aUNINA
