Lope de Aguirre, Anti-imperialism, and the Latin American Left: The
Wrath of Liberation examines why anti-imperialist projects have the
tendency to become tyrannies, with a focus on Latin America.
Alfredo Ignacio Poggi discusses the figure of Lope de Aguirre, the
first modern revolutionary leader, and his various historical
representations in literature, essays, theater, film, and comics as
a vehicle to interrogate the Latin American anti-imperialist
imagination. Poggi argues that the experience of anger is a
constituent element of Latin American anti-imperialism and that the
social imaginary that emerged in the late nineteenth century -
following the intellectual tradition of liberation and the
continental political left - has a wrathful dimension capable of
generating political programs of revenge, finding an echo in Latin
American leaders like Che Guevara and Hugo Chavez. Poggi ultimately
proposes to renovate liberationist thinking by offering mercy as an
alternative anti-imperialist emotion that can overcome the dangers
implicit in anger's radicalization as wrath. Scholars of history,
Latin American studies, international relations, and political
science will find this book particularly useful.
