Collects more than sixty foundational documents from student
protest from the frontlines of revolution Few people know that
student protest emerged in Latin America decades before the
infamous student movements of Western Europe and the U.S. in the
1960s. Even fewer people know that Central American university
students authored colonial agendas and anti-colonial critiques. In
fact, Central American students were key actors in shaping ideas of
nation, empire, and global exchange. Bridging a half-century of
student protest from 1929 to 1983, this source reader contains more
than sixty texts from Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador,
and Costa Rica, including editorials, speeches, manifestos,
letters, and pamphlets. Available for the first time in English,
these rich texts help scholars and popular audiences alike to
rethink their preconceptions of student protest and revolution. The
texts also illuminate key issues confronting social movements
today: global capitalism, dispossession, privatization,
development, and state violence. Key Features Makes available for
the first time to English-language readers a diverse archive of
more than sixty foundational documents and ephemera accompanied by
an introduction, section introductions and further reading Expands
the geographic scope of anti-colonial movement scholarship by
presenting anti-colonial thought in the most contentious decades of
the 20th century from a region peripheral even within anti-colonial
and postcolonial studies Advances anti-colonial and postcolonial
studies by taking urban students as critical actors and so
recasting thematics of the peasantry, the rural/urban divide, and
religion Suggests a new social movement chronology beyond the
so-called "Global 1968," or the common notion that student
movements peaked in May 1968 in Paris, New York City, Berkeley, and
Mexico City
