Is the People's Flag Deepest Red...or Brightest Green? (Reflections on the New Social Movements Internationally)

Abstract

Despite the worldwide loss of authority or legitimacy of the dominant order, despite analogous or even identical demands and forms of protest in countries or world areas that have so many differences and so little mutual contact, there is not much written on the new social movements as an international phenomenon. Thus the author welcomes the publication of New Social Movements and the State in Latin America. The essay is an extensive review of the said book.
