The Last Day of Oppression, and the First Day of the Same

This book offers an overarching political and economic evaluation of the Latin American Left between the late 1990s and 2016.

Description

Throughout the 2000s, Latin America formed the leading edge of anti-neoliberal resistance. But what is left of the "pink tide" today? How have governments established in its wake related to a changing global economy and a right-wing resurgence?

In this penetrating volume, Jeffery Webber traces evolving, often contradictory relationships between left-wing governments and the social movements that propelled them to power.

The Last Day of Oppression, and the First Day of the Same explores these dynamics with critical insight, examining the political and economic shifts and their implications for the future of Latin American politics.

Jeffery R. Webber offers a critical Marxist analysis of the rise and fall of leftist governments in Latin America during the 'Pink Tide' era. The book is praised for its empirical depth and theoretical insight, tackling the socio-political dynamics and challenges faced by these governments, including their reliance on extractivism and austerity measures. The work is recognised as both a scholarly resource for Latin American studies and a guide for understanding contemporary leftist political challenges, highlighting the need for a reconsideration of tactics and strategies amid the right-wing resurgence.
