While rightist and center-rightist politicians and parties have come to power in a number of countries, the shift is most significant at the grassroots. This special section of Latin American Politics and Society is dedicated to understanding the “grassroots right”: the diverse citizens, civil society associations, and religious groups engaged in activism to support right-wing issues. Their causes range from restricting abortion, affirmative action, and LGBTQ+ rights to expanding gun rights and violently repressing crime to supporting free markets and opposing redistribution.enArticleDegreeDisciplines::Social and Behavioral Sciences::Political ScienceDegreeDisciplines::Arts and Humanities::Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies::Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender StudiesDegreeDisciplines::Arts and Humanities::Latin American Languages and Societies
