Democracy in Latin America Past and Present

We are a research group/network of early career researchers discussing democracy in Latin America from both historical and contemporary perspectives.

[TORCH Oxford @TORCHOxford]

"For historians such as ourselves working on twentieth century Latin America, questions of democracy and democratic expression are seldom far away."

Oliver Fletcher, Emilie Curryova, @_Nicolas_Prados, and @AndresMGuiot recap the @DLAPP2021 conference: https://t.co/Z6IYmCvvuJ

Can you imagine the left in Portugal holding a protest with a Salazar flag? or the left in Spain with a Franco flag? Well, in Brazil there is such a big mess that in the protests against Bolsonaro a Getulio Vargas flag was seen. Vargas was a dictator between 1937-1945.
