NEW FACULTY BOOK: *Enduring Reform: Progressive Activism and Private Sector Responses in Latin America’s Democracies*
Edited by BU History Professor Jeffrey Rubin, and Vivienne Bennet (California State University San Marcos), Enduring Reform “examines the connections between the new face of progressive, civil-society-based reform in Latin America and new kinds of openness to reform on the part of the private sector. The project’s original and exciting contribution grows out of the interviews our authors have done with businesspeople in five Latin American cities where innovative reformist projects have been working on-the-ground for substantial periods of time. The five case studies analyze these striking examples of reform and show how, in a democratic context, businesspeople must grapple with and at times endure changes they do not welcome.”
Enduring Reform will hit bookshelves December 2014.
