Comparing Central American, Mexican, Caribbean and South American Women Migrants to Italy
Women represent the majority of migrants from Latin America to Southern Europe. Through interviews with Latin American women who had migrated to Italy, the author found strong regional contrasts between those from Mexico / Central America and those from South America regarding their economic circumstances, the level of education they had attained, and their employment histories in their countries of origin. The interviewees from South America had…
Civil Society and the Transition towards Socialism
Research on East-Central Europe suggests that the transitions from state socialism to capitalism generated civil society. The present authors focus on the effects of a transition of the opposite variety: from capitalism towards state socialism. Both kinds of transitions are characterized by a disjuncture between enduring political economies and legitimate discourses calling for them to be changed. Marshaling qualitative and quantitative data, the…
Everyday Violence in Central America as Seen Through the Life of One Woman
The Conflicted State and Agrarian Transformation in Pink TideVenezuela
Can radical political-economic transformation be achieved by electoral regimes that have not thoroughly reconstructed the state? ContemporaryVenezuela offers an optimal venue for examining this question. TheChavistamovement did not replace the previous state: instead, its leaders attempted to reform existing state entities and establish new ones in pursuit of its transformation agenda. It has also used its oil wealth to support cooperatively-orie…
Reactions to the Market
It is manifest in developing countries around the world that the "shock" therapy administered to their economies by the neoliberal model of structural adjustment has failed, leaving much social and economic destruction in its wake. In Latin America this failure has led to a resurgence of interest in alternative models, some of them deploying various versions of socialism, as in Bolivia, Chile, and Venezuela, which has given rise to talk about the…
The paradoxes of Latin America's 'Pink Tide
A 'pink tide' swept over Latin America following Hugo Chávez's 1998 election to the presidency in Venezuela, bringing to power multiple left or center-left governments. What possibilities for and obstacles to social change were presented by their having attained power through the ballot box? This question is explored through an examination of Venezuela's agrarian reform and the promotion of agroecology within it. The article paper concludes that,…

Economic Reform and Repeasantization in Post-1990 Cuba
In the early 1990s Cuba initiated a new phase of social transformation, driven forward by an economic reform. Some aspects of that reform resembled orthodox structural adjustment, while others differed from it. In agriculture the reform reshaped state farms into multiple cooperatives, subdivided cooperative production, liberalized produce markets, and ceded land to individual parceleros. Through interviews with policy makers and cooperative leade…
