Los trabajos que integran este libro se proponen identificar y comprender la pluralidad de orientaciones, relaciones y significados que se juegan en el actuar colectivo. La obra se articula en un esfuerzo por captar el carácter híbrido de las prácticas colectivas y descifrar los vínculos que se tejen a partir de éstas entre los actores sociales y las distintas formas del poder político. Estas páginas se interesan por la vida cotidiana, la subjetividad y el discurso, así como por las múltiples formas que adquiere la acción colectiva, e identifican las arenas desde las cuales los actores se definen y redefinen constantemente, reelaboran los códigos simbólicos y pugnan por generar, mantener o transformar sus condiciones materiales, identitarias, políticas...

Women's Activism in Latin America and the Caribbean brings together a group of interdisciplinary scholars who analyze and document the diversity, vibrancy, and effectiveness of women's experiences and organizing in Latin America and the Caribbean during the past four decades. Most of the expressions of collective agency are analyzed in this book within the context of the neoliberal model of globalization that has seriously affected most Latin American and Caribbean women's lives in multiple ways. Contributors explore the emergence of the area's feminist movement, dictatorships of the 1970's, the Central American uprisings, the urban, grassroots organizing for better living conditions, and finally, the turn toward public policy and formal political involvement and the alternative globalization movement. Geared toward bridging cultural realities, this volume represents women's transformations, challenges, and hopes, while considering the analytical tools needed to dissect the realities, understand the alternatives, and promote gender democracy.
