Aldo Marchesi

This book examines the emergence, development, and demise of a network of organizations of young leftist militants and intellectuals in South America. This new generation, formed primarily by people who in the late 1960s were still under the age of thirty, challenged traditional politics and embraced organized violence and transnational strategies as the only ways of achieving social change in their countries during the Cold War. This lasted for more than a decade, beginning in Uruguay as a result of the rise of authoritarianism in Brazil and Argentina, and expanding with Che Guevara's Bolivia campaign in 1966. These coordination efforts reached their highest point in Buenos Aires from 1973 to 1976, until the military coup d'tat in Argentina eliminated the last refuge for these groups. Aldo Marchesi offers the first in-depth, regional and transnational study of the militant left in Latin America during the turbulent 1960s and 1970s.

Latin America's Radical Left

Este libro se centra en la memoria histórica de la violencia política, uno de los problemas más complejos que enfrentaron Argentina, Chile y Uruguay en el proceso de consolidar la democracia y construir una cultura política pro derechos humanos. Para ello los autores resumen diversos aspectos del tratamiento de la memoria histórica en el Cono sur desde que surgiera como tópico en las décadas de 1980 y 1990, pero centrándose particularmente en el siglo XXI. Su objetivo es explorar las distintas dimensiones de la memoria histórica y relacionarlas entre sí, evaluando cómo los avances en este ámbito han ayudado a asegurar un futuro democrático del "Nunca más". En tal sentido, la narrativa y análisis propuestos forman una historia de la memoria en el Cono sur -o, al menos, un breve bosquejo de la historia-, un recuento de la batalla por la memoria histórica colectiva en la región.
