This book will probably close an era of experiences, analysis and discussions on autonomies and self-governments in Latin America. But it will open another. The texts show the tensions and contradictions of these forms of social existence with the nation-state, the political form of capitalism, which for centuries was the main arena for capitalist expansion but proved to be an obstacle for neoliberal globalization, which has been dismantling it. It is time to conceive and test other political horizons, as is beginning to be outlined here. They are both paths of emancipation and openings to a new world, of radical breath. It is not irrelevant that they are traced above all by women.
