Ben Dangl's latest book Dancing with Dynamite: Social Movements and States in Latin America, due out next month on AK Press, received its first review this week. Published on InTheseTimes.com, fellow Aid & Abet rosteree Kari Lydersen writes:

"In his captivating book...Ben Dangl explores the complicated choreography between unfettered popular struggle and the state institutions that are necessary to a functioning civil society—yet by nature are forces of moderation, compromise and cooperation."

Also this week, Ben's website covering activism and politics in Latin America UpsideDownWorld.org announced the publication of the Spanish edition of his first book The Price of Fire by Haymarket Books: El Precio del Fuego: Las luchas por los recursos naturales y los movimientos sociales en Bolivia. This edition also features a new epilogue.

Ben will be touring the east coast and beyond this Fall with both books. Contact Matt now to book an event at your school or community space!
