Description and Table of Contents
Description
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.
