Che`s Travels – The Making of a Revolutionary in 1950s Latin America de Paulo Drinot

Che`s Travels – The Making of a Revolutionary in 1950s Latin America

Autor Paulo Drinot
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 aug 2010
Ernesto “Che” Guevara twice travelled across Latin America in the early 1950s. Based on his accounts of those trips (published in English as The Motorcycle Diaries and Back on the Road), as well as other historical sources, Che’s Travels follows Guevara, country by country, from his native Argentina through Chile, Peru, Colombia, and Venezuela, and then from Argentina through Bolivia, Peru, Guatemala, and Mexico. Each essay is focused on a single country and written by an expert in its history. Taken together, the essays shed new light on Che’s formative years by analyzing the distinctive societies, histories, politics, and cultures he encountered on these two trips, the ways they affected him, and the ways he represented them in his travelogues. In addition to offering new insights into Guevara, the essays provide a fresh perspective on Latin America’s experience of the Cold War and the interplay of nationalism and anti-imperialism in the crucial but relatively understudied 1950s. Assessing Che’s legacies in countries he visited on the two cross-continental trips, the contributors examine how he is remembered or memorialized; how he is invoked for political, cultural, and religious purposes; and how perceptions of him affect ideas about the revolutions and counterrevolutions fought in Latin America from the 1960s through the 1980s. Through detailed analysis, this collection emphasizes the historical significance of Che’s travels across Latin America in the early 1950s.Contributors: Malcolm Deas; Paulo Drinot; Eduardo Elena; Judith Ewell; Cindy Forster; Patience A. Schell; Eric Zolov; Ann Zulawski

Recenzii

“Che’s Travels is superb. Following the always interesting Che and his motorcycle across 1950s Latin America is a great way to cover most of the region and an absolutely crucial moment in Latin American history.” Steve Striffler, author of In the Shadows of State and Capital: The United Fruit Company, Popular Struggle, and Agrarian Restructuring in Ecuador, 1900–1995“Readers will follow the legendary itinerary, stopping along the way to learn a great deal about both Ernesto Guevara de la Serna and the countries he motored through in the early 1950s. A brilliant and perfect companion to The Motorcycle Diaries, this book provides sustained commentary on what Che saw, and importantly, on everything he missed. The authors combine impeccable research with piercing analysis as they move through terrain strewn with traces of Guevara’s hubris, misconceptions, and compassion.”—Alejandra Bronfman, author of Measures of Equality: Social Science, Citizenship, and Race in Cuba, 1902–1940

In building this narrative, Arana gives vivid accounts of the many men and women who interacted with, and influenced, Bolivar throughout his peripatetic existence (for 'the liberator' spent his life in constant movement across the north of South America and beyond)... This biography remains an engaging account of Bolivar's life."--BBC History Magazine, October 1st 2013
