Food sovereignty, agrarian reform, indigenous and women's rights, sustainable development, fair trade, and immigration issues are the focus of a large number of social movements found in countries such as Bolivia, Colombia, Mexico, Nicaragua, Brazil, and Peru.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The contributors to \u003ci\u003eRural Social Movements in Latin America \u003c\/i\u003einclude academic researchers as well as social movement leaders who are seeking to effect change in their countries and communities. As a group they are at the forefront of some of the most critical environmental, social, and political issues of the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e This volume highlights the central role these movements play in opposition to the neoliberal model of development and offers fresh insights on emerging alternatives at the local, national, and hemispheric level. It also illustrates and analyzes the similarities--notably the struggle for sustainable livelihoods--as well as the difference among these various peasant, indigenous, and rural women's movements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCarmen Diana Deere, \u003c\/b\u003edirector of the Center for Latin American Studies at the University of Florida and former president of the Latin American Studies Association, is the coauthor of \u003ci\u003eEmpowering Women: Land and Property Rights in Latin America. \u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003eFrederick S.
