"The scope and ambition of this volume is truly impressive. Sensitive to the profound ambivalence and ambiguity of development, the editors have coordinated a fascinatingly agile and dexterous approach to the topic, full of robust critique and alternative perspectives. For students and scholars interested in the multi-scalar processes of change - social, cultural, economic, political, and environmental - that shape Latin America, this is an essential inter-disciplinary companion." - Peter Wade, Professor of Social Anthropology, University of Manchester, UK"The Routledge Handbook of Latin American Development creates a profound and rich dialogue among cases that confronted and resignified notions of development not only from their critical decolonial, feminist, anti-capitalist and pluriversal perspectives but also by their interconnected multidisciplinary approaches. The editors carefully selected diverse texts that arise from local contexts and social dynamics (of indigenous, afro-descendant, peasants, migrants, urban collectivities) that bring forward new concepts of genders, sexualities, humans, non-humans, knowledges, justice and ways of living. They also include theoretical approaches and analysis that call for understanding the partial connections of social actors with economic, environmental, political and territorial socio-historical contexts in different scales, in order to open innovative critics, debates and perspectives around different notions of development." - Astrid Ulloa, Professor, Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Colombia
