In the 1980s Latin America became a laboratory for the ideas and policies of neoliberalism. Now the region is an epicentre of dissent from neoliberal ideas and resistance to US economic and political dominance. Latin America's political map is being redrawn. Already half a dozen progressive governments have swept into power and more may follow. This is a fascinating look at what is perhaps the most politically dynamic region in the world - and an authoritative guide to the political movements and leaders that are part of this historic change.
