DESCRIPTION:Until the Rulers Obey brings together voices from the movements behind the 
 wave of change that swept Latin America at the turn of the twenty-first 
 century. These movements have galvanized long-silent—or 
 silenced—sectors of society: indigenous people, campesinos, students, the 
 LGBT community, the unemployed, and all those left out of the promised 
 utopia of a globalized economy. They have deployed a wide range of 
 strategies and actions, sometimes building schools or clinics, sometimes 
 occupying factories or fields, sometimes building and occupying political 
 parties to take the reins of the state, and sometimes resisting government 
 policies in order to protect their newfound power in community.\n\nThis 
 unique collection of interviews features five dozen leaders and grassroots 
 activists from fifteen countries presenting their work and debating 
 pressing questions of power, organizational forms, and relations with the 
 state. They have mobilized on a wide range of issues: fighting against 
 mines and agribusiness and for living space, rural and urban; for social 
 space won through recognition of language, culture, and equal 
 participation; for community and environmental survival. The book is 
 organized in chapters by country with each chapter introduced by a 
 solidarity activist, writer, or academic with deep knowledge of the place. 
 This indispensable compilation of primary source material gives 
 participants, students, and observers of social movements a chance to learn 
 from their experience.\n\nAbout Clifton Ross (editor) :\n\nClifton Ross is 
 a translator, filmmaker, and writer who has traveled extensively in Latin

 United States in the Second World Poetry Festival of Venezuela, and his
