Abstract The problem facing the Cuban Revolution after 1959 was how to increase productive capacity and labour productivity, in conditions of underdevelopment and in transition to socialism, without relying on capitalist mechanisms that would undermine the formation of new consciousness and social relations integral to communism. Locating Guevara’s economic analysis at the heart of the research, the thesis examines policies and development strategies formulated to meet this challenge, thereby refuting the mainstream view that his emphasis on consciousness was idealist. Rather, it was intrinsic and instrumental to the economic philosophy and strategy for social change advocated. -

RESTLESS THE STORY OF EL ‘CHE’ GUEVARA by ALEX COX & TOD DAVIES first draft 19 jan 1993 © Davies & Cox 1993 2 VALLEGRANDE PROVINCE, BOLIVIA EXT EARLY MORNING 30 JULY 1967 In a deep canyon beside a fast-flowing river, about TWENTY MEN are camped. Bearded, skinny, strained. Most are asleep in attitudes of exhaustion. One, awake, stares in despair at the state of his boots. Pack animals are tethered nearby. MORO, Cuban, thickly bearded, clad in the ubiquitous fatigues, prepares coffee over a smoking fire. "CHE" GUEVARA, Revolutionary Commandant and leader of this expedition, hunches wheezing over his journal - a cherry- coloured, plastic-covered agenda. Unable to sleep, CHE waits for the coffee to relieve his ASTHMA. CHE is bearded, 39 years old. A LIGHT flickers on the far side of the ravine. MORO Shit. A light -- ANGLE ON RAUL A Bolivian, picking up his M-1 rifle. RAUL Who goes there? VOICE Trinidad Detachment -- GUNFIRE BREAKS OUT. RAUL is firing across the river at the light. Incoming bullets whine through the camp. EVERYONE is awake and in a panic. ANGLE ON POMBO CHE's deputy, a tall Black Cuban, helping the weakened CHE aboard a horse. CHE's asthma worsens as the bullets fly. CHE Chino! The supplies! 3 ANGLE ON CHINO Chinese-Peruvian, round-faced and bespectacled, rounding up the frightened mounts. OTHER MEN load the horses with supplies - lashing them insecurely in their haste. It's getting light. SOLDIERS of the Bolivian Army can be seen across the ravine, firing through the trees. POMBO leads CHE's horse away from the gunfire. -

FARC, Shining Path, and Guerillas in Latin America
FARC, Shining Path, and Guerillas in Latin America Oxford Research Encyclopedia of Latin American History FARC, Shining Path, and Guerillas in Latin America Marc Becker Subject: History of Latin America and the Oceanic World, Revolutions and Rebellions Online Publication Date: May 2019 DOI: 10.1093/acrefore/9780199366439.013.218 Summary and Keywords Armed insurrections are one of three methods that the left in Latin America has tradition ally used to gain power (the other two are competing in elections, or mass uprisings often organized by labor movements as general strikes). After the triumph of the Cuban Revolu tion in 1959, guerrilla warfare became the preferred path to power given that electoral processes were highly corrupt and the general strikes too often led to massacres rather than a fundamental transformation of society. Based on the Cuban model, revolutionaries in other Latin American countries attempted to establish similar small guerrilla forces with mobile fighters who lived off the land with the support of a local population. The 1960s insurgencies came in two waves. Influenced by Che Guevara’s foco model, initial insurgencies were based in the countryside. After the defeat of Guevara’s guerrilla army in Bolivia in 1967, the focus shifted to urban guerrilla warfare. In the 1970s and 1980s, a new phase of guerrilla movements emerged in Peru and in Central America. While guer rilla-style warfare can provide a powerful response to a much larger and established mili tary force, armed insurrections are rarely successful. Multiple factors including a failure to appreciate a longer history of grassroots organizing and the weakness of the incum bent government help explain those defeats and highlight just how exceptional an event successful guerrilla uprisings are. -

Young Ernesto Guevara and the Myth of Che Dan Sprinkle HST 499: Senior Seminar Spring 2012 First Reader: Dr. John Rector Second Reader: Dr. Max Geier June 6, 2012 1 Ernesto “Che” Guevara de la Serna is constantly dramatized and idolized for the things he did later in his life in the Congo, Guatemala, Cuba, and Bolivia pertaining to socialist revolution. The historical events Che partook in have been studied for decades by historians around the world and no consensus has been reached as to the morality of his actions. Many people throughout Latin America view Guevara as a heroic martyr for the people, whereas many people from the rest of the world see him as little more than a terrorist. What many of these historians fail to address is what exactly made Ernesto Guevara leave his relatively upper-middle class, loving family behind to pursue a life of revolution and guerrilla warfare. -
Book Reviews | Reseñas
European Review of Latin American and Caribbean Studies Revista Europea de Estudios Latinoamericanos y del Caribe No. 102 (2016) October, pp. 119-153 www.erlacs.org Book Reviews | Reseñas – American Crossings: Border Politics in the Western Hemisphere, edited by Maiah Jaskoski, Arturo C. Sotomayor & Harold A. Trinkunas. Johns Hop- kins University Press, 2015. The front cover of American Crossings features a photograph by Tomas Caste- lazo of the corrugated metal wall running along the U.S.-Mexican border under a hazy blue desert sky. A thin, tall metal tower hovers along the right-hand side of the photo, a grey-steel tube camera at its pinnacle pointing outwards across the line into ostensibly Mexican territory. Adding gravitas to the tableau, an artist has attached brightly coloured coffins to the sides of the wall, each la- belled with a year and the associated number of deaths in attempts at crossing that year (2002, 371). The photograph presents an American border as a dead end space, a space of surveillance, obstruction, death. Dead end. Fortunately for the reader, and as the editors themselves are at pains to so- licit, the borders under investigation in American crossings share a ‘complexi- ty’ that belies this all-too moribund and static representation. Despite repeating the by now stale invocation that ‘in a globalized world, borders still matter’, they make a forceful argument that regional differences between the US and Latin America are key for understanding the specific socio-spatial trajectories of borders and borderlands in the area under study. Analysing borders in Latin America, they aver, shifts our attention to dynamics that depart from the ca- nonical borderland elements defining border studies in Europe or North Amer- ica. -

Ensayo Contra El Mito Del Che Guevara
Ensayo contra el mito del Che Guevara JUAN JOSÉ SEBRELI Durante su asistencia a la Feria del Libro de Frankfurt, la presidenta Cristina Kirchner erigió como iconos de su país, Argentina, a cuatro personajes: Carlos Gardel, Evita de Perón, el Che Guevara y Diego Armando Maradona. Efectivamente, los cuatro integran hoy el panteón nacional de los mitos populares argentinos, de los cuales tres encarnan las pasiones de ese singular pueblo: el tango, el peronismo y el fútbol. Esta conjunción ya había motivado al sociólogo argentino Juan José Sebreli a emprender una investigación sobre esos cuatro iconos, cuyo resultado –Comediantes 50 y mártires: ensayo contra los mitos– obtuvo en el año 2008 el primer premio de ensayo de Casa de América y Editorial Debate. Un jurado integrado por Carlos Monsiváis, Edmundo Paz Soldán, Sol Gallego Díaz, Miguel Barroso y Miguel Aguilar pronunció por unanimidad esta decisión. Por la calidad de esta demolición crítica de mitos popu- lares es que se ofrece el quinto capítulo de esa obra al lector ilustrado de Santander, un ejemplo de las nuevas perspectivas del análisis sociológico latinoamericano que supera las beaterías de la década de los años sesenta del siglo XX, cuando los intelectuales po- pulistas proclamaron que sólo la comunión con la sensibilidad popular permitía percibir la emoción de los mitos populares. A diferencia de la aspiración a la universalidad de las representaciones científicas, los mitos dependen de una comunidad de creyentes que los fundan en los sentimientos particulares ajenos a la racionalidad. Los creyentes en mitos no se arriesgan a analizarlos porque su fe inhibe el uso de su razón, dado que han suspendido su capacidad crítica, pero los políticos profesionales los pervierten al usarlos como instrumentos de movilización de masas. -

Guevarism - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
مذهب جيفارا Guevarism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guevarism Guevarism From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Guevarism is a theory of communist revolution and a military strategy of guerrilla warfare associated with Marxist revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara, a leading figure of the Cuban Revolution. During the Cold War, the United States and Soviet Union clashed in a series of proxy wars, especially in the developing nations of the Third World, including many decolonization struggles. Contents 1 Overview 2 Criticism 3 See also 4 Notes Overview After the 1959 triumph of the Cuban insurrection led by a militant "foco" under Fidel Castro, his Argentina-born, cosmopolitan and Marxist colleague Guevara parlayed his ideology and experiences into a model for emulation (and at times, direct military intervention) around the globe. While exporting one such "focalist" revolution to Bolivia, leading an armed vanguard party there in October 1967, Guevara was captured and executed, becoming a martyr to both the World Communist Movement and the New Left. His ideology promotes exporting revolution to any country whose leader is supported by the empire (United States) and has fallen out of favor with its citizens. Guevara talks about how constant guerrilla warfare taking place in non-urban areas can overcome leaders. He introduces three points that are representative of his ideology as a whole: that the people can win with proper organization against a nation's army; that the conditions that make a revolution possible can be put in place by the popular forces; and that the popular forces always have an advantage in a non urban setting.
