Dear Naclistas,
We are excited to announce the release of our latest print issue, Right Turn: The New and the Old in Latin America's Right-Wing Revival.
In the issue, we break down this moment of right wing ascendance, and ask: what is new, what is different, what might we expect? Our contributors take a sobering look across the hemisphere, considering what this moment will mean for U.S.-Latin American relations, what new tools the right is using to organize and gain power, how errors by left governments set the stage, and much more. By taking an unforgiving look at what confronts us, we can begin to reorganize a progressive alternative for the region.
Check out some of the articles available open access below, as well as our latest web coverage. And don’t miss out on the rest of this important issue by subscribing to the NACLA Report now!
En solidaridad,
The Editors
