Informationen zum Autor ERNESTO GUEVARA DE LA SERNA was born in Rosario, Argentina, on June 14, 1928. While studying for a medical degree in Buenos Aires, he took a trip with his friend Alberto Granado on an old Norton motorcycle through all of Latin America, the basis for The Motorcycle Diaries . During his travels he witnessed the Bolivian revolution in 1953; and, in Guatemala in 1954, the overthrow of the democratically elected government of Jacobo Arbenz by US-backed forces. Forced to leave Guatemala, he went to Mexico City, where he linked up with exiled Cuban revolutionaries and met Fidel Castro in 1955. Che joined their expedition to Cuba, where the revolutionary war began in the Sierra Maestra mountains. At first Che was the troop doctor, and later became Rebel Army commander in July 1957. Following the rebels’ victory on January 1, 1959, he was a key leader of the new revolutionary government and also of the political organization that in 1965 became the Communist Party of Cuba. Klappentext A Spanish-language edition of three speeches on corporate globalism and imperialism by one of the most widely known guerilla fighters, political theorists, and organizers, Che Guevara. In this collection of three speeches, Ernesto Che Guevara offers a revolutionary view of a world in which human solidarity and understanding replace imperialist agression and exploitation. First, in a sharp speech given in Algeria on February 24, 1965 at the Afro-Asia Economic Seminar, Che speaks about the nature of capitalism and the revolutionary struggle that would open the way for a new, socialist society. Guevara's 1965 essay, "Socialism and Man in Cuba," is a milestone in twentieth-century emancipatory social thought. Finally, “Message to the Tricontinental” is one of Che’s more well-known works, which outlines the tactics and strategies that should be followed in revolutionary struggle. This collection of writings merges Che's philosophy, politics, and economics in his all encompassing, coherent revolutionary vision. His ideas and his struggle strike a chord in the current search for global justice. ¿Existe una alternativa a la globalización empresarial y al militarismo que asola nuestro planeta? Estas obras clásicas de Ernesto Che Guevara presentan una visión revolucionaria de un mundo diferente en el que la solidaridad humana y la comprensión sustituyen a la agresión y la explotación imperialistas. Leseprobe PRÓLOGO María del Carmen Ariet García Centro de Estudios Che Guevara La publicación simultánea de trabajos tan notorios y a la vez tan peculiares del actuar y el pensar de Che, como los que se presentan al lector en este libro, no obedece sólo a un interés editorial, sino sustancialmente al propósito de sistematizar un conjunto de ideas, que desde el contenido de las mismas, permitan relacionar temáticas y objetivos comunes, además de establecer una continuidad con discursos y trabajos anteriores, muchos de los cuales fueron desarrollados en contextos diferentes, pero que sin embargo perseguían propósitos similares, dentro de la congruencia y coherencia abarcadora que determinan el ideario revolucionario de Che, en lo filosófico, lo sociopolítico y lo económico. La lectura detallada de estos trabajos nos acercan a una fase teórica concluyente, no sólo por ser premisa de su etapa internacionalista, sino sobre todo porque conforma la culminación de un método de trabajo, donde se asume lo teórico para alcanzar soluciones a problemas concretos a través de una práctica política consecuente, por medio de un proceso ascendente, apartado de lo apologético y lo dogmático y marcado por una ética revolucionaria, humanista y marxista, que lo llevan a ser “un adelantado” en su época, haciendo que sus ideas y su lucha mantengan una total vigencia en la actual perspectiva de justicia global. Che, pensador marxista de la praxis, se propu...
