Le progrès des gauches en Amérique latine : gouvernements, mouvements sociaux et luttes indigènes
Gérard DUMÉNIL
Michaël LÖWY
Maurice LEMOINE
Gérard Duménil and Michaël Löwy here interview Michel Lemoine about the nature of the governments
currently in office in Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Bolivia and Venezuela. What contribution can these
governments make to the task of establishing an anti-imperialist front? What are the specific features of
the Latin American resistance to neo-liberalism, in view of the articulation between this resistance and the
struggles of the Amerindian populations? How is one to assess the manner in which Chavez defines and
attempts to implement his project of a “socialism for the twenty-first century”. These are the principal
questions addressed here.
