Venezuela continues to sink deeper into dictatorship, but in the aftermath of chaos and dictatorship, dramatic democratic developments in Ecuador and Paraguay and the 2015 presidential election in Argentina may finally signal immunity to authoritarian rule in these three South American countries. Puzzled by the political parties and questions of human rights in these multiparty representative democracies, the author spent weeks in Guayaquil, Buenos Aires, and Asunción, where she spoke with remarkable individuals, among them authors, students, workers, professionals, politicians, and civic leaders.
