After an overview of the Left in Latin America, from the Cuban Revolution to the present day, the author analyzes the thinking of numerous political actors on the developments now taking place: the rapid development of technology and its effects on the world of work and communications; neoliberal globalization with the economic and institutional restructuring that it involves; and all the consequences, including environmental, that it implies for humanity. Recognising the profound theoretical and situational crisis of the Left, Harnecker stresses the necessity of developing an alternative to the present forms of globalization.
What future is there for the left, faced with the challenges of the twenty-first century? Based on a lifetime's experience in politics, Marta Harnecker addresses the crisis facing the left today. At its heart, this book is a critique of social democratic realpolitik. Harnecker reminds us that, contrary to today's orthodoxy, politics is not the art of the possible but the art of making the impossible possible by building a social and political force capable of changing reality. She believes that the social experiments being carried out in Latin America today hold out hope that an alternative to capitalism is possible; they are essentially socialist, democratic projects in which the people are the driving force. To create a real alternative to capitalism, though, the left must change. Rebuilding the Left offers real hope to those who still believe that we can create a different world.
