Om denne bog

Foreign capital and free trade policies have provoked fierce conflicts in South America in recent years. People in Colombia and Peru engaged in often violent clashes to defend their livelihoods against the encroachments of the free market and the impositions of Wall Street. Farmers organized to save their lands from foreign mining corporations, and cities fought to save their water from contamination.

Native Americans blocked highways to preserve ancestral lands, while students paralyzed universities and called for reforms to higher education.

The shift toward socialism in Venezuela, led by President Hugo Chavez, was bitterly opposed by privileged groups.

Governments tried to quell the turmoil through repression, political maneuvering and propaganda. This book provides a dramatic account of the struggles.
