Novo episĂłdio de podcast! Dando inĂcio Ă Segunda temporada do LAP Editor’s Choice, nos juntamos ao renomado cientista polĂtico marxista e teĂłrico Armando Boito para discutir seu recĂ©m-lançado livro "Reform and Political Crisis in Brazil: Class Conflicts in Workers' Party Governments and the Rise of Bolsonaro Neo-fascism" (disponĂvel em inglĂŞs).
O livro examina o processo polĂtico brasileiro entre os anos de 2003 e 2020, focando nos governos do Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT), suas polĂticas reformistas, a crise polĂtica que levou ao impeachment da presidente Dilma Rousseff, e a ascensĂŁo do neofascismo com Bolsonaro. Com base em uma estrutura teĂłrica marxista, Boito argumenta que conflitos ideolĂłgicos e partidários estĂŁo intimamente ligados aos conflitos distributivos baseados em classe social dentro da sociedade brasileira em geral. Portanto, apĂłs a quarta derrota consecutiva nas eleições presidenciais, partidos polĂticos representando o capital internacional, segmentos da burguesia e a classe mĂ©dia abandonaram normas democráticas com o objetivo de acabar com o ciclo de governança do PT, pavimentando o caminho para a ascensĂŁo do neofascismo.
Armando Boito Ă© professor de CiĂŞncias PolĂticas na Universidade Estadual de Campinas (UNICAMP), Brasil, e editor do jornal CrĂtica Marxista.

The Agrarian Question as an Ecological Question in Latin America
Issue Editors:
Daniela GarcĂa Grandon
Andrew Smolski
Jan. 2024
Historically, the agrarian question in Latin America was primarily concerned with addressing the unequal distribution of land and rural poverty through redistribution. Different types of agrarian reform policies in the twentieth century, frequently with different goals, tried to dismantle large estates owned by a few wealthy elites and allocate the land among landless peasants, small-scale farmers, or Indigenous communities.
