“The editors' introductory and concluding essays summarize the fruitful theoretical basis of the case studies, citing especially Kapferer’s work on the emergence and dominance of the ‘corporate state.’ Highly Recommended." • Choice“This is a superb and timely set of studies that assess the lasting effects of a recent trend, now subsided, of left and left-leaning governments on politics and daily life for common people in a range of Latin American societies.” • George E. Marcus, University of California“To my mind, there are no other books or works on Latin America that have this double focus on the corporate state and egalitarianism. In sum, the book provides a wealth of novel arguments to understand the rise, maturation and afterlife of one of the most important and complex political turns to the left after the year 2000” • Bjorn Enge Bertelsen, University of Bergen
