Description: Beyond Civil Society challenges current understandings of the politics of protest, activism, and participation by examining the ways in which social movements in late twentieth- and early twenty-first-century Latin America blur the boundaries between civil and uncivil activism and between activism carried out in state and the streets.
Review Quotes: "The authors of this important edited collection interrogate what they call the 'civil society agenda.' . . . Beyond Civil Society thus offers a sober analysis of the effectiveness and degree of political autonomy of movements working with Pink Tide governments or international organizations."--Dolores Trevizo "Mobilization"
