Leftovers: Tales of the Latin American Left
¿La izquierda es una opción para América Latina? Jorge G. Castañeda y Marco A. Morales reúnen a un grupo de expertos en las izquierdas latinoamericanas para realizar un diagnóstico del presente y el futuro de esta opción política, desde el populismo chavista de Venezuela hasta la izquierda perfectamente orientada de Chile. Asimismo, ellos responden tres preguntas fundamentales: ¿por qué razón América Latina ha optado por la izquierda en los últimos años?, ¿se puede pensar que todas las izquierdas son iguales? y ¿cuál es el balance de las izquierdas frente a las opciones de centro y derecha?
