Abstract
Social movments in Latin America : what lessons for Africa ? Social movements, particularly those of peasants, have proliferated in Latin America more than in Africa (with exception of Kenya, Algeria and Zimbabwe) probably because the impact of (internal) colonialism has been more blatant. Destruction of the agricultural life support systems of the indigenous peasants led to massively organized peasant movements or rebellions in Mexico, Bolivia, Brazil and Cuba to achieve land reform. Presently the process of peasant mobilization, now enhanced even by the Churches, is hindered or blocked with foreign support (often CIA), in the interest of local and global power elites.
