Zusammenfassung Latin America experienced an unprecedented wave of left-leaning governments between 1998 and 2010. This title examines the causes of this leftward turn and the consequences it carries for the region in the twenty-first century. It looks at several major themes regarding the contemporary Latin American Left.
