Twentieth Century Guerrilla Movements in Latin America: A Primary
Source History collects political writings on human rights, social
injustice, class struggle, anti-imperialism, national liberation, and
many other topics penned by urban and rural guerrilla movements. In
the second half of the twentieth century, Latin America experienced a
mass wave of armed revolutionary movements determined to overthrow
oppressive regimes and eliminate economic exploitation and social
injustices. After years of civil resistance, and having exhausted all
peaceful avenues, thousands of working-class people, peasants,
professions, intellectuals, clergymen, students, and teachers formed
dozens of guerrilla movements. Fernando Herrera Calderón presents
important political writings, some translated into English here for
the first time, that serve to counteract the government propaganda
that often overshadowed the intellectual side of revolutionary
endeavors. These texts come from Latin American countries such as
Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, Mexico, Nicaragua, and many more. The
book will be indispensable to anyone teaching or studying revolutions
in modern Latin American history.
