Paths of Revolution
The Argentine-born writer Adolfo Gilly has directly observed many of Latin America's most dramatic events, from the Bolivian Revolution of the 1950s and Cuba during the Missile Crisis to the guerrilla wars of Central America and Mexico's Zapatista uprising. Paths of Revolution presents the first representative selection from across his extensive body of work, collecting close-quarters reportage, sharp political analyses and reflections on art and letters. A living link between the New Left of the 1960s and the Pink Tide of recent decades, Gilly once described the twentieth century as a series of lightning flashes which can illuminate our present-day predicament. The essay form is where he fully comes into his own, covering a truly impressive range of topics and places. This collection draws out the continuities within one of the world's more vibrant and politically successful left traditions. In the Introduction, Tony Wood (author of Russia Without Putin) offer an overall portrait of Gilly's life and work.

Through their studies of social movements and popular mobilization in the Mexican countryside, the contributors argue for understanding rural revolts in terms of the specific historical contexts of particular regions and peoples, as well as the broader contex...

Historia a contrapelo. Una constelación
Los seis nombres reunidos en este libro forman “una constelación en el cielo de la historia”: seis autores que no compartieron las encendidas visiones de progreso infinito y felices transiciones hacia democracias estables y perpetuas, tan difundidas en las últimas décadas del siglo pasado. Tarea de justicia y de lucidez a la vez que resistencia contra esa pandemia, Gilly reivindica un arte de narrar la historia que posea, como pedía Walter Benjamin, el don de encender en el pasado la chispa de la esperanza.
