Главная фигура кубинской революции, его стилизованный визаж стал вездесущим контркультурным символом восстания и глобальными знаками отличия в популярной культуре. Будучи молодым студентом-медиком, Гевара путешествовал по всей южной Америке и был радикализован бедностью, голодом и болезнями, свидетелями которых он был. His growing desire to help undo what he saw as the capitalist exploitation of Latin America by the United States prompted his participation in Guatemala's social reforms under President Jacobo Erbenza, whose possible overthrow, with the assistance of the CIA at the request of the United Fruit Company, reinforced Guevara's political ideology. Later in Mexico City, Guevara met with Raul and Fidel Castro, joined their movement on July 26 and sailed to Cuba aboard the yacht Granma with the intention of overthrowing U.S.-backed Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista. Guevara soon became known among the rebels, was promoted to second in the team and played a key role in the victorious two-year guerrilla campaign that toppled Batista's regime. After the Cuban Revolution, Guevara played a number of key roles in the new government. These include the consideration of appeals and firing squads for those who as war criminals during the revolutionary tribunals, introducing agricultural land reform as Minister of Industry, helping to lead a successful national literacy campaign, serving as President of the National Bank and Training Director of the Cuban Armed Forces, and crossing the globe as a diplomat on behalf of Cuban socialism. Such positions also allowed it to play a central role in the training of militia forces that repelled the invasion of the Bay of Pigs, and as a result soviet nuclear-armed ballistic missiles were fired at Cuba, which preceded the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. Guevara was also a prolific writer and diarist, composing the founding guide to guerrilla warfare, along with a best-selling memoir about his young continental motorcycle journey. His experience and the study of Marxism-Leninism led him to the fact that the backwardness and dependence of the third world were an integral result of imperialism, neo-colonialism and monopoly capitalism, the only remedy of which was proletarian internationalism and the world revolution. Guevara left Cuba in 1965 to ignite a revolution abroad, first unsuccessfully in Congo-Kinshasa and then in Bolivia, where he was captured by Bolivian forces with the assistance of the CIA and executed without trial and proper execution. Guevara remains both revered and reviled by a historical figure polarized in the collective imagination in a variety of biographies, memoirs, essays, documentaries, songs and films. As a result of his perceived martyrdom, poetic calls for class struggle and desire to create the consciousness of a new man driven by moral rather than material stimuli, Guevara became the quintessence of various left-wing movements. On the contrary, his ideological critics on the right accuse him of authoritarianism and sanctification of violence against his political opponents. Despite disagreements over his legacy, Time magazine named him one of the 100 most influential people of the 20th century, while his photograph of Alberto Corda, titled Guerrillero Heroico, was described by the Maryland Institute's College of Art as the most famous photograph in the world. Early life of teenager Ernesto (left) with his parents, siblings, c. 1944, sitting next to him from left to right: Celia (mother), Celia (sister), Roberto, Juan Martin, Ernesto (father) and Ana Maria Ernesto Guevara was born Ernesto Guevara Lynch and Celia de la Serna at Llosa, June 14, 1928, in Rosario, Argentina. He was the eldest of five children in an Argentine middle-class family of Spanish (including Basque and Cantabrian) origin, as well as an Irishman with the help of his patrilineal ancestor Patrick Lynch. Although Guevara's legal name on his birth certificate was Ernesto Guevara, his name sometimes appears with his de la Serna and/or Lynch. Referring to Che's disturbing nature, his father said, The first thing is that It should be noted that the blood of the Irish rebels was flowing in my son's veins. Very early in life, Ernesto (as he was then called) developed affinity for the poor. Growing up in a left-leaning family, Guevara was introduced to a wide range of political views as a child. His father, a staunch supporter of Republicans during the Spanish Civil War, often hosted many veterans from the conflict in Guevara's home. Despite crippling bouts of acute asthma that were supposed to hit him throughout his life, he excelled as an athlete, enjoying swimming, football, golf and shooting, and became a tireless cyclist. He was an avid rugby player, and played at fly-half for the Club Universitario de Buenos Aires. His game of rugby earned him the nickname Fuser - the fight of El Furibundo (furious) and the surname of his mother, de la Serna, for his aggressive style of play. Guevara learned chess from his father in 1951 and began participating in local tournaments at the age of 12. As a teenager and throughout his life he was fascinated by poetry, especially Pablo Neruda, John Keats, Antonio Machado, Federico Garcia Lorca, Gabriela Mistral, Cesar Vallejo, and Walt Whitman. He could also recite Rudyard Kipling's If and Jose Hernandez's Martin Fierro by heart. The House of Guara contained more than 3,000 books, allowing Guevara to be an enthusiastic and eclectic reader, with interests including Karl Marx, William Faulkner, Andre Gida, Emilio Salgari and Jules Verne. He also enjoyed the works of Jawaharlal Nehru, Franz Kafka, Albert Camus, Vladimir Lenin and as well as Anatole France, Friedrich Engels, Herbert Wells and Robert Frost. As he grew older, he became interested in Latin American writers Horacio Kiroga, Ciro Alegria, Jorge Icaza, Ruben Dario and Miguel Asturias. He catalogued many of the ideas of these authors in his handwritten notebooks of concepts, definitions and philosophies of influential intellectuals. These included analysing of Buddha and Aristotle, as well as Bertrand Russell's study of love and patriotism, Jack London on society and Nietzsche about the idea of death. Sigmund Freud's ideas fascinated him when he quoted him on topics ranging from dreams and libido to narcissism and Oedipus. His favorite subjects at school included philosophy, mathematics, engineering, political science, sociology, history and archaeology. Years later, in a declassified biographical and personal report of February 13, 1958, the CIA took note of Guevara's wide range of academic interests and intelligence, describing it as pretty well read, adding that Che is intelligent enough for a Latino.

His hunger to explore the world (39) led him to his cross-sessions with two long introspective journeys that fundamentally changed the way he viewed himself and the current economic conditions in Latin America. The first expedition in 1950 was a 4,500-kilometer (2,800-mile) solo journey through the rural provinces of northern Argentina by bicycle, on which he installed a small engine. This was followed in 1951 by a nine-month, 8,000-kilometer (5,000-mile) continental motorcycle race through parts of South America. For the latter, it took a year off from study to get up with his friend Alberto Granado, with the ultimate goal of spending a few weeks volunteering in the leper colony of San Pablo in Peru, on the banks of the Amazon River.

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.

Eventually, he would lead the decisive battle in Santa Clara which terminated the Batista regime. Ascetic Progression • Argentina • Cuba • Bolivia Why is it that such a privileged individual abandoned comfort time and time again to place himself into incredibly austere circumstances, and how is it that he became aestheticized (both photographically and intellectually) as a result?

Excerpts from Che’s Message to the Tricontinetal Congress (1965) • “Latin America constitutes a more or less homogenous whole, and in almost its entire territory U.S. capital holds absolute primacy.” • “Our every action is a battle cry against imperialism and a call for unity against the great enemy of the human race: the United States of North America.” How ironic is it that the image of an individual who plotted terrorist attacks in sites such as Grand Central Station (NYC) has garnered and maintained such an intransigent following in contemporary, post-911 ‘America?’ Dichotomist

  • 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.

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.

    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.
