    The Left and Right in Latin America Today: An Interview with Claudio Katz

    21 June 2019, by Claudio Katz, Jeffery R Webber

    On May 5, 2019 I spoke with Argentine economist Claudio Katz in his Buenos Aires apartment.

    What is ‘femonationalism’?

    16 May 2019, by Niki Seth-Smith, Sara R. Farris

    Sara Farris recently published a provocative book entitled In the name of women’s rights: the rise of femonationalism. In it, she examines how right-wing nationalists, neoliberals, and some feminists and women’s equality agencies, all invoke women’s rights to stigmatise Muslim men and advance their own political objectives. She argues that there is an important political-economic dimension to this seemingly paradoxical intersection.
