247 - Emir Sader, renowned Brazilian sociologist and political scientist, spoke in an interview with TV 247 about the launch of his newest book, entitled "Contemporary History of Latin America and the Caribbean". The work, which will be released on April 8th, aims to present an updated view of the political and social history of the region.
According to Sader, Latin America “is the great global protagonist of the 21st century. This book is basically about the 21st century. It was the place with the greatest number of neoliberal governments in the last decade of the last century and, as a reaction, it had the greatest number of anti-neoliberal governments in this century.”
The author further emphasizes that Latin America "is a protagonist in the fight against neoliberalism. The main left-wing leaders in the world today are Latin American and were born and raised in the struggle against neoliberalism."
According to Sader, the "most important period in Latin America" is precisely the one that began in the 21st century. Sader's book is an important work for understanding the history and current situation of Latin America and its role on the world stage.
