This Dossier contributes to the construction of a new cartography of 20th and 21st-century Latin American and Caribbean student movements. One of the collective efforts of this work was to showcase the heterogeneity of national experiences. This construction of Latin American and Caribbean student activisms of the 20th and 21st centuries remains a pending, long-term task. The present dossier seeks to counter geographical reductionism with eleven articles written from diverse social and academic coordinates across Latin America and the Caribbean. Furthermore, it aims to strengthen lines of study capable of addressing diverse experiences and timelines in light of multiple geographical references, expressing the common dynamics and particular logics that shape the south, center, and north of the continent. Ultimately, the commitment of this collection of works is both to deepen ties among specialists, academics, and students in the region, and to promote an interdisciplinary dialogue with a historical perspective on the protests and conflicts of a collective actor that, through highs and lows, advances and retreats, ebbs and flows, tensions and contradictions, remains part of the complex political and social landscape of Latin America and the Caribbean.
