However, less than twenty years after Hugo Chávez's victory, this trend seems to be reversed. Lula 's tenure has ended and Bolsonaro's has begun. What happened? Supported by an extensive bibliography and hundreds of interviews, the author addresses the trajectory of each South American country, including those which did not elect progressives, in addition to Cuba. The various national examinations are enriched by an analysis of regional integration attempts, providing a detailed and necessary recent history of the subcontinent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOriginally published in Portuguese as \u003cem\u003eUma história da onda progressista sul-americana (1998-2016)\u003c\/em\u003e by Elefante, São Paulo, 2018.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbout \u003cem\u003ePower and Impotence\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgements \u003cbr\u003eIntroduction \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 Venezuelan Revolution: Underdevelopment despite an Abundance of Foreign Exchange \u003cbr\u003e2 Conciliation and Order under 'Lulaism ' in Brazil \u003cbr\u003e3 Kirchnerism and Impasses of the Bourgeois Way in Argentina \u003cbr\u003e4 The Process of Change in Bolivia: Creative or Destructive Tensions? \u003cbr\u003e5 Ecology versus Capitalism: Dilemmas of the Citizen Revolution in Ecuador \u003cbr\u003e6 The Deposition of Lugo in Paraguay and the \u003cem\u003eBrasiguayo\u003c\/em\u003e Question \u003cbr\u003e7 Brazil and the Political Economy of South American Integration \u003cbr\u003e8 Chile and the Political Economy of the Real Neoliberalism \u003cbr\u003e9 Perversion and Trauma: Impasses of Contemporary Peruvian Politics \u003cbr\u003e10 War and Peace in Colombia in Historical Perspective \u003cbr\u003e11 Where is the Cuban Revolution Going?
