The initial publication of Utopia Unarmed in 1993 offered the most comprehensive diagnosis of the Latin American left to that date, making it an instant classic. Since then, the Latin America that Jorge Castañeda analyzed underwent profound changes - some of them unforeseeable at the beginning of the 1990s - including its impressive rise to power through democratic means during the 2000s. Leftovers (2008) / Lo que queda de la izquierda (2010) update the analysis of the Latin American left, bringing together scholars from all over the region to perform country-by-country and thematic assessments of the state of the left in Latin America over the last two decades.
