DESCRIPTION:On March 9, 2011 the Mission Cultural Center for Latino Arts welcomes 
 renowned author Benjamin Dangl to the MCCLA theater to read from his most 
 recent book, Dancing with Dynamite: Social Movements and States in Latin 
 America.\n\nIn the past decade, grassroots social movements played major 
 roles in electing left-leaning governments throughout Latin America, 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 Bolivia to the 
 struggles of landless farmers in Brazil and Paraguay, Dangl discusses the 
 dance between movements and states in seven different Latin American 
 countries.\n\nPraise for "Dancing with Dynamite":\n"Ben Dangl breaks the 
 sound barrier, exploding many myths about Latin America that are 
 all-too-often amplified by the corporate media in the United States. Read 
 this much-needed book."\n-Amy Goodman, host of Democracy Now!\n\n"Dancing 
 with Dynamite dares to navigate the cloudy waters of Latin American social 
 movements in the wake of the neoliberal wave, something which increasingly 
 fewer thinkers and activists dare to do, but which turns out to be 
 urgent."\n-Raul Zibechi, Uruguayan journalist and author.\n\nAuthor Bio: 
 Benjamin Dangl has published on Latin America in the Guardian Unlimited, 
 The Nation, and the NACLA Report on the Americas. He is the author of The 
 Price of Fire: Resource Wars and Social Movements in Bolivia, the editor of 
 TowardFreedom.com and UpsideDownWorld.org, a website on activism and 
 politics in Latin America. He teaches South American history and 
 globalization at Burlington College.\n
