The Pink Tide: Media Access and Political Power in Latin America edited by Lee Artz 2017/229pgs

This novel/text book is about the Pink Tide, or the Socialist Movement that was rolling over Latin America in the last 20 years and how Media access has assisted in the tides movement and how it still is attempting to keep the tide from going low and away.

Pink Tide, for reference is the Socialist Revolution that happened in Latin American from roughly 1990’s-2010’s. The main reason is Pink instead of Red is to show that they are not going to the Communists rule, however, most Socialist economics/Democratic political system.

If you are a Capitalist, this is not the book to read at all!

As with others in my Reading list, this is a required reading for my Graduate degree. Taking the socialist view with the grain of salt, it does have some wonderful examples on how Media and equal distribution can affect and should be focused for the betterment of society.
