This volume departs both from approaches to revolution in Latin America that emphasize interests and those that emphasize socioeconomic and political injustice. Rather, it deals with real life, flesh and bone, revolutionary cadres: their thoughts, backgrounds, mentalities, and behavior. Going beyond cliches about Soviet encroachment in Latin America and "injustice breeds revolution," the contributors address the issue of the relationship between leaders and followers in a revolutionary context, seeing revolutionary leaders as the key to articulating and defining the agenda of the "revolution." In contrast to most theorizing, revolutionary leaders almost invariably come from the privileged, even aristocratic classes. The findings raise the issue of how well these leaders actually represent the peoples for which they claim to speak. They also prompt questions about the democratic nature of guerrilla organizations. If the leaders are so far removed, by social background and education, personal experience and ideological articulation, from their followers, how realistic is it to see the Left as a purveyor of progress? Perhaps it is more correct, say the contributors, to see their claims as manipulative tactics directed to resolving a struggle for power among competing elites. The selection of topics ranges from the historical development of revolutionary struggles since Che Guevara (Halperin and Ratliff) to the more specific application and motivation behind them (Ybarra-Rojas and Tismaneanu). Chapters deal with the attempt to define a typology of revolutionary leaders (Radu) and their Western supporters (Hollander). Some authors (Payne, Horowitz) combine .these approaches. Many issues examined in this volume are new, including an analysis of the gap between the internationalist outlook of the leaders and the parochial views of their followers. The violent organizations of the Left in Latin America are shown to be largely the functional result of upper- and middle-class leaders who combine an appeal to the lumpenproletariat at home with support of alienated Westerners to pursue their own elitist agenda.

New views on Cuba's solidarity with revolutionaries in Latin America; Insights from a key participant in these movements; Cuba did not 'betray' Che Guevara; Manuel Pineiro, known as Barba Roja (Red Beard), was a figure of great mystery for decades. As head of the Cuban Communist Party's Americas Department, he oversaw Cuba's operations in support of liberation movements on every continent, especially Latin America and Africa. Pineiro was one of Che Guevara's closest collaborators, responsible for his missions to the Congo and Bolivia. He later went on to work with revolutionaries in Chile, Nicaraguo, El Salvador and many other Latin American countries. On the 30th anniversary of Che's death, Pineiro spoke out publicly for the first time. This book includes many extraordinary new revelations about Cuba's role in Latin America and some profound insights into Che Guevara's life and legacy. Pineiro discusses the recent biographies of Che and Che's legacy today. He answers the accusations made by some biographers and others that Cuba betrayed Che in Bolivia. American revolutions and assesses the causes and significance of the collapse of the socialist bloc. My first encounter with Che was in the Sierra. Arriving at the guerrilla camp, I heard screaming and saw [our doctor] Che determined to extract a peasant's tooth with a pair of pliers. At that moment, i swore never to fall into that man's handsl Manuel Pineiro

Between 1808 and 1826, all of mainland Latin America became independent from Spain and Portugal, the colonial powers that had ruled the region for three centuries. Undesirable economic restrictions and a caste system that favored those born in Europe made the conditions for revolution ripe in the Americas. Combined with the actions of insightful leaders-most notably Simon Bolivar and Jose de San Martin-Latin American independence was all but guaranteed. This title explores the revolutions, their historical causes, and the new nations' ensuing struggles, providing invaluable context for understanding the culture, politics, and social identity of the region today."

Thomas C. Wright describes and explains the extraordinary impact that the Cuban Revolution had on Latin America and on U.S.-Latin American relations during the past three decades. Wright integrates diverse and complex political events into a comprehensive and comprehensible whole--providing a broad perspective on this critical period in Latin American history. Wright does not use a country-by-country approach, but rather a unique synthesis of broadly defined trends and phases that affected significant numbers of Latin American countries and people. Among the currents examined are the destabilizing influence of fidelismo, the rise of rural and urban guerrilla warfare, the Alliance for Progress, the growth of U.S. military involvement in Latin America, and the rise of terrorist military regimes. Three country-specific topics--the military revolution in Peru, the Allende government in Chile, and the Sandinista struggle in Nicaragua--are examined separately due to their universal interest and their importance to the whole of Latin America. Successfully linking the most important Latin American political developments of three decades to the pervasive influence of Fidel Castro and his revolution, Wright presents 1990 as the final year in this coherent, discrete era that most Latin American historians agree began in 1959. This text will interest university and college classes on Latin American history, Latin American politics, and revolution and reform courses, as well as professional Latin Americanists in many specializations.

Few publications cover the full span of the history of revolutionary movements in Latin America. In Revolution and Revolutionaries, editor Daniel Castro examines all aspects of guerrilla warfare-from revolutionary programs to the repressive tactics used by various governments to rid themselves of the threats presented by revolutionary movements. In addition to illustrating specific cases of guerrilla struggles, Revolution and Revolutionaries also analyzes the political and social conditions that made the outbreak of revolutionary movements throughout the region unavoidable. Finally, Castro examines the remaining guerrilla movements still active in Latin America as the century comes to a close. Revolution and Revolutionaries revives the debate about the viability of revolutionary violence in Latin America, and will interest those studying Latin American history and sociology, and political science.

Mostly sidestepping the issues of why people rebel, Rochlin (political science, Okanagan U. College, Canada) here focuses on how people rebel, examining how strategy and power condition successes, failures, and longevity of Latin American guerilla groups. Four case studies examine Peru's Sendero Luminoso, Colombia's FARC and ELN, and Mexico's Zapatista movement. Two chapters are provided for each group, with the first examining origins, ideologies, and support bases, while the second looks at the rebels in relation to power, strategy, and national security (presumably from the viewpoint of government elites).

This book shows how Maoism was globalized during the 1949-1976 period, highlighting the agency of both Latin American and Chinese actors. While Maoism has long been known to have been influential in many social movements and guerrilla groups in Latin America, author Matthew Rothwell is the first to establish the way in which Latin American communists domesticated Maoism to Latin American conditions and turned Maoism into an influential political trend in many countries. By utilizing case studies of the formation of Maoist guerrilla groups and political parties in Mexico, Peru and Bolivia, the book shows how the movement of Chinese communist ideas to Latin America was the product of a highly organized effort that involved formal connections between Latin American activists and the Peoplee(tm)s Republic of China. It represents a major contribution to three developing fields of historical inquiry: Latin America in the Cold War, the global 1960s, and Chinese Maoist foreign relations.
