Description: "In Populist Seduction in Latin America, Carlos de la Torre shows that populism did not disappear, as expected, with the modernization of society. Combining the study of populist discourse with an analysis of the social and political setting for the emergence and persistence of populism. Professor de la Torre argues that the durability of populism is explained by the deficient incorporation of the popular sectors into Latin American democracies."--BOOK JACKET.
