Review Quotes: Mobilizing Democracy is an extremely interesting read and an important addition not only to the social movement literature, but also to the sociology of the global south in general, and South and Central America, specifically. It will undoubtedly be a valuable resource in classes about social movements, the state, economic sociology, and the sociology of globalization and democratization.
