We speak with René Rojas about the rise of the “Pink” left in Latin America from the late 1990s to the present. We discuss how this movement differs from the socialism of the 1960s and 1970s, what limitations the “Pink Tide” faced, and what the future holds for the Latin American left. René Rojas teaches sociology and political science at Hobart and William Smith Colleges. His research is on neoliberal development and politics in Latin America, where he spent years as an activist.
