These movements have galvanized long- silent--or silenced--sectors of society: indigenous people, campesinos, students, the LGBT community, the unemployed, and all those left out of the promised utopia of a globalized economy. They have deployed a wide range of strategies and actions, sometimes building schools or clinics, sometimes occupying factories or fields, sometimes organizing political parties to take the reins of the state, and sometimes resisting government policies in order to protect their new-found power in community. This indispensable compilation of primary source material is organized in chapters by country, with each chapter introduced by a solidarity activist, writer, or academic with deep knowledge of the place. It addresses a wide range of issues, from fighting against mines and agribusiness to demanding equal participation through the recognition of language and culture, giving participants, students, and observers of social movements a chance to learn from their experiences 648 7 2000-talet|2sao 650 0 Social movements|zLatin America|y21st century 650 0 Social movements|zLatin America|xHistory 650 0 Social movements 650 7 Sociala rörelser|2sao 650 7 Vänsterrörelser|2sao 651 4 Latinamerika 700 1 Ross, Clif,|4edt 700 1 Rein, Marcy,|4edt 700 1 Zibechi, Raúl,|d1952-|4ctb 907 00 150209
