| 2/22/26 |  Editor's Choice Ep. 11 (Part 2): Dependency and Crisis in Brazil and Argentina w/ Felipe Antunes de Oliveira | Part 2 of our interview with Felipe Antunes de Oliveira on his recent book Dependency and Crisis in Brazil and Argentina: A Critique of Market and State Utopias (2024). In this timely and theoretically rigorous work, Antunes de Oliveira examines why the two largest countries in South America fail to materialize the development they continually promise to achieve. Instead of approaching the topic from a policy-failure perspective, he focuses on what public debates reveal about "development" itself. Building on this, Antunes de Oliveira offers a theoretical and empirical critique of neoliberal and neodevelopmentalist ideas surrounding cycles of structural reform in Brazil and Argentina, drawing on dependency theory to propose an alternative political economic framework for analyzing development challenges. Felipe Antunes de Oliveira is a senior lecturer in International Relations at Queen Mary University of London and a coordinating editor at Latin American Perspectives. Outside the academy, he has served as a diplomat for the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, as General Coordinator of International Financial Affairs at the Brazilian Ministry of Finance in 2024, and, since December 2024, as an Alternate Executive Director at the International Monetary Fund. Dependency and Crisis in Brazil and Argentina is available for purchase through the University of Pittsburgh Press: https://upittpress.org/books/9780822948100/ For more information about Latin American Perspectives, our podcasts, and guests, please contact latampodcasts@gmail.com | — | ||||||

| 11/15/24 |  Editor's Choice Ep. 8: Agrarian History of the Cuban Revolution w/ Joana Salém Vasconcelos | Historian Joana Salém Vasconcelos joins us to discuss her book Agrarian History of the Cuban Revolution: Dilemmas of Peripheral Socialism (Brill 2023; Haymarket 2023). Translated from Portuguese and originally published in Brazil in 2016, this meticulously researched study unpacks the complicated political and economic challenges Cuba has faced since its 1959 revolution, demonstrating why the sugar plantation economic structure in Cuba has persisted. Drawing on diverse historical sources, Salém Vasconcelos narrates in detail the three dimensions of Cuban agrarian transformation during the decisive 1960s – the land tenure system, the crop regime, and the labor regime – and its social and political actors. She explains the paths and detours of Cuban agrarian policies contextualized in a labor-intensive economy that desperately needs to increase productivity and, simultaneously, promised widely to emancipate workers from labor exploitation. Joana Salém Vasconcelos is a full-time Visiting Professor at Federal University of ABC (UFABC), Brazil, and has a PhD in Economic History from the University of São Paulo (USP), Brazil. Agrarian History of the Cuban Revolution: Dilemmas of Peripheral Socialism is available for purchase through Haymarket books and Brill: https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2420-agrarian-history-of-the-cuban-revolution https://brill.com/display/title/64107?language=en For more information about Latin American Perspectives, our podcasts and guests, please contact latampodcasts@gmail.com | — | ||||||
| 9/13/24 |  Editor's Choice Ep. 7: Reform and Political Crisis in Brazil w/ Armando Boito | Dando início à Segunda temporada do LAP Editor's Choice, nos juntamos ao renomado cientista político marxista e teórico Armando Boito para discutir seu recém-lançado livro "Reform and Political Crisis in Brazil: Class Conflicts in Workers' Party Governments and the Rise of Bolsonaro Neo-fascism" (disponível em inglês). O livro examina o processo político brasileiro entre os anos de 2003 e 2020, focando nos governos do Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT), suas políticas reformistas, a crise política que levou ao impeachment da presidente Dilma Rousseff, e a ascensão do neofascismo com Bolsonaro. Com base em uma estrutura teórica marxista, Boito argumenta que conflitos ideológicos e partidários estão intimamente ligados aos conflitos distributivos baseados em classe social dentro da sociedade brasileira em geral. Portanto, após a quarta derrota consecutiva nas eleições presidenciais, partidos políticos representando o capital internacional, segmentos da burguesia e a classe média abandonaram normas democráticas com o objetivo de acabar com o ciclo de governança do PT, pavimentando o caminho para a ascensão do neofascismo. Armando Boito é professor de Ciências Políticas na Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP), Brasil, e editor do jornal Crítica Marxista. "Reform and Political Crisis in Brazil" pode ser comprado online através do site Haymarket Books: https://www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2019-reform-and-political-crisis-in-brazil Outras leituras do LAP e Armando Boito: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0094582X221140419 https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0094582X19887910 Para mais informações sobre Latin American Perspectives, nossos podcasts e convidados, por favor, entre em contato com: latampodcasts@gmail.com ou lap@ucr.edu Esse episódio foi co-produzido pelos estagiários do LAP, Lara Paredes e Mateus Quesada. | — | ||||||

| 11/23/23 |  Editor's Choice Ep. 5: 'Cannibal Capitalism' w/ Nancy Fraser | Renowned marxist feminist scholar Nancy Fraser joins us to discuss her recent book Cannibal Capitalism: How our System is Devouring Democracy, Care, and the Planet – and What We Can Do About It (Verso 2022). In this tightly argued and urgent volume, Fraser charts the voracious appetite of capital, tracking it from crisis point to crisis point, from ecological devastation to the collapse of democracy, from racial violence to the devaluing of care work. These crisis points all come to a head in Covid-19, which Fraser argues can help us envision the resistance we need to end the feeding frenzy. What we need, she argues, is a wide-ranging socialist movement that can recognize the rapaciousness of capital - and starve it to death. Nancy Fraser is Loeb Professor of Philosophy and Politics at the New School for Social Research, Einstein Fellow of the city of Berlin, and holder of the "Global Justice" Chair at the Collège d'études mondiales in Paris. Her books include Redistribution or Recognition; Adding Insult to Injury; Scales of Justice; Justice Interruptus; and Unruly Practices.

| 9/27/23 |  Editor's Choice Ep. 4: 'The Condor Trials' w/ Francesca Lessa | International relations scholar Francesca Lessa joins us to discuss her book The Condor Trials: Transnational Repression and Human Rights in South America, (Yale University Press 2022). Through the voices of survivors and witnesses, human rights activists, judicial actors, journalists, and historians, The Condor Trials unravels the secrets of transnational repression masterminded by South American dictators between 1969 and 1981. Under Operation Condor, their violent and oppressive regimes kidnapped, tortured, and murdered hundreds of exiles, or forcibly returned them to the countries from which they had fled. South America became a zone of terror for those who were targeted, and of impunity for those who perpetuated the violence. Based on extensive fieldwork, archival research, trial ethnography, and over one hundred interviews, The Condor Trials explores South America's past and present and sheds light on ongoing struggles for justice as its societies come to terms with the unparalleled atrocities of their not-so-distant pasts. Dr Francesca Lessa is an Associate Professor in International Relations of the Americas in the Institute of the Americas at University of College London, and holds a Ph.D. in International Relations from the London School of Economics and Political Science. Prior to joining the faculty at University of College of London, between 2011 and 2023, Dr. Lessa held various roles at the University of Oxford, including Departmental Lecturer in Latin American Studies and Development (2020-2023). Her latest book, The Condor Trials: Transnational Repression and Human Rights in South America, was the winner of the 2023 Juan Méndez Book Award for Human Rights in Latin America and received an honourable mention for the 2023 Bryce Wood Book Award of the Latin American Studies Association (LASA).
