Inequalities, resistance and rights in Latin America and the Caribbean
Keywords:
inequalities; resistances; rights; social movements; social transformation; social transformation.Synopsis
This book, the result of a collective work and the intersection of readings, debates and productions, aims to trace the social protests that since the beginning of the 21st century have made visible, with different nuances, the need to transform the precarious living conditions in Latin America and the Caribbean, and to investigate how social protests and resistances against structural inequalities in our region, crossed by demands for the expansion of rights and also by deep political and economic crises, are being modified, configured and redefined. The book addresses the intersections between structural inequalities in the framework of neoliberal capitalism, the current socioeconomic, political and climatic crisis in our region, the resistance to the precarious living conditions of those who inhabit these lands and the real possibilities of social transformation. In its 12 chapters, it maps and explores different expressions of social protest and human rights claims at both regional and local levels in more than ten Latin American and Caribbean countries, taking into account their emergency conditions and their vicissitudes in relation to the historical and growing social inequality that is intertwined with inequalities of class, gender, sex, racial, age and climate, among others. Thus, some fundamental axes are addressed to understand this plot: feminist struggles, mass movements of informal and unemployed sectors against labor precariousness, environmental struggles, social movements, organizations fighting for the respect of human rights; outbursts and self-convened rebellions for economic, political and legal changes; struggles against extractivism and terricide; among others. The book has been conceived not only as an instrument of analysis and dissemination of the social struggles of the peoples of Latin America and the Caribbean, but also as a contribution to continue thinking and promoting a social transformation that frees our region from so much exploitation, inequality and injustice.
