Explores how-and to what effect-diverse forces on the left have not only captured the imagination of vast swathes of the continent's population, but also taken hold of the reins of government. It assesses the multiple currents of Latin America's left turns, considering their origins, their relationships to political parties and social movements, and their performance in office. It also considers the challenge of long-standing socioeconomic inequalities.
