CLACSO Working Group on Gender, (In)equalities and Rights in Tension


This compilation offers a well-founded conceptual framework for analyzing gender and sexuality rights during the Latin American pink tide, raises difficult questions about the relationship between ideology and government, and highlights how feminists and LGBT and queer people are made scapegoats for the vast nationalist, anti-neoliberal, and anti-imperialist struggles. From the Foreword by Amy Lind

Today, as the pink tide is clearly receding and a veritable right-wing tsunami shakes much of the region, it is more crucial than ever to assess the successes and failures that occurred during left-wing governments in order to imagine strategies that could help feminists, queer people, and other progressive forces navigate the abrupt shift in direction underway throughout the Americas. From the epilogue by Sonia E. Álvarez
