Toward a Global History of Latin America’s Revolutionary Left

“Essential reading for anyone interested in the impact of transnational solidarity movements on the evolution of thought and organizing within the global Revolutionary Left.”—Jessica Stites Mor, editor of Human Rights and Transnational Solidarity in Cold War Latin America

“An important contribution to reexamining the ways in which we think about the geographies of Latin America’s Revolutionary Left in the global conflict of the Cold War. The volume covers multiple paths and connections that show how each actor was influenced by other regions of the world, but was also influential, creating a better understanding of how each actor was part of the global conflict.”—Aldo Marchesi, author of Latin America’s Radical Left: Rebellion and Cold War in the Global 1960s

“[This] volume’s in-depth analysis of Latin America’s revolutionary left and the broad coverage of the many connections and interrelations between Latin American revolutionaries and their counterparts in other areas of the globe will make it a fundamental point of reference for those studying and teaching not only history but also other social disciplines in the region and the world.”—International Affairs

“The different contributions do an excellent job of getting beyond ideological dogmas to paint a detailed and empirically grounded portrait of the period.”—Bulletin of Latin American Research

“Rich and original contributions . . . offer convincing evidence of the diplomatic strength of Latin America’s revolutionary Left, not only in exile and defeat but also in the throes of revolution and war.”—Latin American Research Review

“The contributors’ use of seldom-tapped archives in Beijing, Moscow, Prague, and various Western European sites sets the volume apart from most studies of the Latin American Left.”—Hispanic American Historical Review

“Succeeds in bringing together voices and narratives previously excluded in the studies of the Latin American Left.”—Hispania
