Tony Wood

Tony Wood, a modern political historian, and Camila Vergara, a critical legal theorist, delve into Latin America's political landscape. They explore the collapse of left-wing governments from the Pink Tide and the emergence of right-wing leaders like Milei and Bukele. Their discussion reveals how neoliberal roots shaped these shifts, the impact of a commodity boom on redistribution, and the rise of a reactionary right exploiting media and voter discontent. They also touch on state violence and the potential for revolutionary change amidst current turmoil.
