Cette série réoriente la pensée contemporaine sur la politique et les mouvements sociaux à travers les Amériques. Elle réévalue les possibilités politiques et théoriques dans un présent rebelle, forgeant une vision transnationale. La collection relie le passé au présent, en se concentrant sur les alliances, les migrations et les interdépendances croissantes. Elle offre une perspective unique sur l'hémisphère en tant que phénomène interconnecté.
