| Summary: | From President Bolsonaro's openly racist, misogynist and homophobic rhetoric in Brazil, to the politicization of gender ideology leading to the rejection of a peace deal in Colombia and beyond, Latin America is home to right-against-rights movements that have grown in numbers, strength and influence in recent years. New anti-rights groups are intent on blocking, rolling back and reversing social movements' legislative advances by obstructing justice and accountability processes and influencing politicians across the region. The Right against Rights in Latin America contains chapters that empirically explore the breadth, depth and diversity of a new wave of anti-rights movements in Latin America. It details why they are fundamentally different from previous movements in the region, and perhaps more importantly, why it is of vital importance that we study, analyze and understand them in a global context. |
