Latin American Perspectives – Details, episodes & analysis

A podcast for discussion and debate on the political economy of capitalism, imperialism, and socialism in the Americas. For more than forty years Latin American Perspectives has served as the leading academic journal in Latin American Studies, publishing timely, progressive analyses of the social forces shaping contemporary Latin America. We currently produce two podcasts: Latin American Perspectives & Editors' Choice: Latin American Perspectives' Book Conversations. Latin American Perspectives features interviews with LAP issue editors, academics, and activists where participants discuss current research, political-economic issues, and social movements in Latin America. The podcast is hosted by sociologist and LAP coordinating editor Alexander Scott. Editors' Choice features interviews with authors of exciting new books in the fields of Latin American and Latino studies. The series is intended to share critical educational resources and information on a variety of topics and issues in Latin America and provide detailed and in-depth political and theoretical analysis of the texts covered. Editors Choice is hosted by LAP coordinating editors Alexander Scott and Tomas Crowder-Taraborrelli.
