Organized around single country studies embedded in key historical
moments, this book introduces students to the shifting and varied
guerrilla history of Latin America from the late 1950s to the
present. It brings together academics and those directly involved
in aspects of the guerrilla movement, to understand each country's
experience with guerrilla warfare and revolutionary activism. The
book is divided in four thematic parts after two opening chapters
that analyze the tradition of military involvement in Latin
American politics and the parallel tradition of insurgency and coup
effort against dictatorship. The first two parts examine active
guerrilla movements in the 1960s and 1970s with case studies
including Bolivia, Nicaragua, Peru, Argentina, Chile and Uruguay.
Part 3 is dedicated to the Central American Civil Wars of the 1980s
and 1990s in Nicaragua, El Salvador and Guatemala. Part 4 examines
specific guerrilla movements which require special attention.
Chapters include Colombia's complicated guerrilla scenery; the
rivalling Shining Path and Tupac Amaru guerrillas in Peru; small
guerrilla movements in Mexico which were never completely
documented; and transnational guerrilla operations in the Southern
Cone. The concluding chapter presents a balance of the entire Latin
American guerrilla at present. Superbly accessible, while retaining
the complexity of Latin American politics, Latin American Guerrilla
Movements represents the best historical account of revolutionary
movements in the region, which students will find of great use
owing to its coverage and insights.
