El autor asume plenamente como eje central de su discurso teórico el importante papel a jugar por la región en los nuevos escenarios de la globalización, en los que los estados tradicionales muestran, y cada vez, grandes dificultades de adaptación a las nuevas circunstancias emergiendo los espacios subnacionales como los protagonistas potenciales de los procesos de desarrollo venideros. El libro habla del territorio social, vivido culturalmente, sentido políticamente, reconocido geográficamente.

"Las dictaduras y el neoliberalismo en distintos momentos y espacios de América Latina se han caracterizado por el despojo del territorio y, a pesar de los cambios políticos adoptados por las democracias representativas, siguen manifestándose confrontaciones entre grupos poderosos y sociales por la defensa del territorio. Se han gestado movimientos sociales a raíz de las formas de exclusión y subordinación surgidas de la modernidad capitalista latinoamericana, entre ellos, el Movimiento Urbano Popular en México, el Movimiento de los Mapuches en Chile, El Movimiento de los Trabajadores Sin Techo en Brasil y el Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional, entre otros. Desde América Latina los pueblos experimentan una centenaria tradición de luchas recrudecidas y con nuevas presencias y transiciones abarcando todos los territorios donde se extiende y profundiza el capitalismo. Los trabajos que conforman el libro Territorios de América Latina: identidades, movimientos sociales y transición contribuyen desde una perspectiva geográfica y con una visión interdisciplinaria al estudio de las problemáticas contemporáneas sobre las políticas de despojo y las luchas por la ciudad y las comunidades rurales en América Latina. Las investigaciones se proponen nuevas introspecciones y lecturas de los conflictos y acciones contemporáneas en América Latina de organizaciones y pueblos en lucha presentadas en cuatro secciones, las notas introductorias. 1. Territorios, modernidad y capitalismo; 2. De guerras y batallas por el territorio a las resistencias y proyectos por la autonomía y la ciudadanía; 3. La escalaridad de la geopolítica y colonialidad de los megaproyectos y 4. Prácticas políticas, identidades y estrategias en movimientos sociales latinoamericanos. Los capítulos que las componen consideran las experiencias y estrategias de las organizaciones referidas, esperando motiven a las y los lectores a la reflexión sobre las alternativas emancipatorias que conllevan."--Page 4 of cover.

This volume explores several notable themes related to social, political, and religious movements in Latin America and offers insightful historical perspectives to understand national, regional, and global issues from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present day. This volume’s collected chapters focus on the Latin American society and are divided into three sections. The first section, Social, presents some cultural, demographic, and urban changes that have occurred with increasing frequency in Latin America from the early twentieth century onward. The second section, Political, shows migratory, political, and identity movements that in recent decades have re-emerged with force. Finally, the third section, Religious, analyzes various Latin American religious visions with their particular characteristics. From the religious hegemony of Catholicism, a change in the religious panorama in the last decades can be seen intermingled with politics, history, and society.

Considered to be sub-ordinated and sub-prime to the city, sub-urban areas receive little attention by researchers and designers. However, it ́s the rapidly growing areas outside the central cities that pose the biggest questions of the urban millennium: How can the scattered patchwork of urban areas and social spaces linked by networks of highways and public transportation function as a sustainable and livable urban environment? Answering this question requires understanding suburban spaces as heterogeneous urban areas with distinct local characteristics, qualities, and problems. Following this path, Variations of Suburbanism explores formation, characteristics, and trends of suburban areas all over the world. It provides insights on common features and differences of suburban governance, design, and infrastructure and discusses strategies to understand and design suburban areas in an increasingly sub-urbanizing world.

This book shows how the adoption of the neoliberal development model has increased the social vulnerability to disasters, with a special focus on Mexico, a country which once was the role model of the neoliberal turn in Latin America. It brings together 12 case studies of disasters such as floods, earthquakes and volcanic emergencies, in both urban and rural areas, to show how neoliberal development projects and changes in legislation affected disaster prevention and management in different parts of the country. The case studies from Mexico are complemented by two comparative studies which analyze the impacts of neoliberalism in disaster prevention and management in Mexico, Brazil, United States and Italy. Disasters and Neoliberalism: Different Expressions of Social Vulnerability presents a unique contribution to the interdisciplinary field of disaster research by presenting qualitative studies of disaster vulnerability from the perspective of scholars from the Global South, bringing a fresh and critical approach to English speaking social sciences qualitative researchers working on disaster risks in a number of fields, such as geography, anthropology, sociology, political science and environmental studies.

The Class Struggle in Latin America: Making History Today analyses the political and economic dynamics of development in Latin America through the lens of class struggle. Focusing in particular on Peru, Paraguay, Chile, Colombia, Argentina, Brazil and Venezuela, the book identifies how the shifts and changing dynamics of the class struggle have impacted on the rise, demise and resurgence of neo-liberal regimes in Latin America. This innovative book offers a unique perspective on the evolving dynamics of class struggle, engaging both the destructive forces of capitalist development and those seeking to consolidate the system and preserve the status quo, alongside the efforts of popular resistance concerned with the destructive ravages of capitalism on humankind, society and the global environment. Using theoretical observations based on empirical and historical case studies, this book argues that the class struggle remains intrinsically linked to the march of capitalist development. At a time when post-neo-liberal regimes in Latin America are faltering, this supplementary text provides a guide to the economic and political dynamics of capitalist development in the region, which will be invaluable to students and researchers of international development, anthropology and sociology, as well as those with an interest in Latin American politics and development.
