<p class="MsoNormal">Book release/discussion with Ben Dangl, the author of the book
published by AK Press, Dancing with Dynamite: Social Movements and States in <st1:place w:st="on">Latin America</st1:place>. </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><br>
Dancing with Dynamite: In the past decade, grassroots social movements played
major roles in electing left-leaning governments throughout <st1:place w:st="on">Latin
America</st1:place>, but subsequent relations between the streets and the
states remain uneasy. In Dancing with Dynamite, award-winning journalist
Benjamin Dangl explores the complex ways these movements have worked with,
against, and independently of national governments. From dynamite-wielding
miners in <st1:country-region w:st="on">Bolivia</st1:country-region> to the
struggles of landless farmers in <st1:country-region w:st="on">Brazil</st1:country-region>
and <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Paraguay</st1:place></st1:country-region>,
Dangl discusses the dance between movements and states in seven different Latin
American countries. Using original research, lively prose, and extensive
interviews with workers, farmers, and politicians, he suggests how Latin
American social movement strategies could be applied internationally to build a
better world now.<br>
<br>
“Ben Dangl breaks the sound barrier, exploding many myths about Latin America
that are all-too-often amplified by the corporate media in the <st1:country-region w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">United States</st1:place></st1:country-region>.
Read this much-needed book.”—Amy Goodman, host of Democracy Now!<o:p></o:p></p>
