The paradox of violent democratization in Latin America is taken up in this fine interdisciplinary collection. The book at its core concerns ‘violent pluralism’, or the way that ‘states, social elites, and subalterns employ violence in the quest to establish or contest regimes of citizenship, justice, rights, and a democratic social order’ (p. 4).
