The politics of autonomy in Latin America : the art of organising hope / Ana Cecilia Dinerstein. - xxv, 282 pages ; 23 cm - Non-government public action .

The author contests older concepts of autonomy as either revolutionary or ineffective vis-a-vis the state. Looking at four prominent Latin American movements, she defines autonomy as 'the art of organising hope': a tool for indigenous and non-indigenous movements to prefigure alternative realities at a time when utopia can be no longer objected.
