Description

Ecuador is a country that arouses interest in its current situation. After an economic boom, it is now going through a severe crisis. At the end of a decade of an authoritarian government identifying itself with “21st century socialism”, human rights and freedom of expression abuses are being exposed. As the facts are being laid bare, an entire system of abuse of power and corruption from the government is emerging. The present work brings together various papers focusing on these realities. They tackle several aspects of the country’s context today and in the immediate past: poverty, economic changes, political power and its relationship to social movements, extractivism and its impacts, art and literature. Despite interest in this subject, the literature on Ecuador’s realities is quite scant. That is why we hope the present publication will contribute meaningfully to further knowledge about the country.
