"Deep inside that T-shirt where we have tried to trap him,"
notes the celebrated Chilean novelist Ariel Dorfman, "the eyes of
Che Guevara are still burning with impatience." Olivier Besancenot
and Michael Lowy deftly capture this burning impatience, revealing
Guevara as a powerful political and ethical thinker still capable
of speaking directly to the challenges of our time.
In this masterful new study, Besancenot and Lowy explore and
situate Guevara's ethical, revolutionary, and humanist legacy. They
explicate Guevara's emphasis on the import of the individual coming
to understand and accept socialism at a personal level. For
Guevara, Besancenot and Lowy show, the revolutionary project
demands more than a transformation of the mode of production; it
demands a profound transformation of the individual, the birth of
what Guevara termed the "new man." Besancenot and Lowy also explore
Guevara's pragmatic approach to the question of state power and
unique theoretical contributions to the question of the transition
to socialism.
In Guevara, Besancenot and Lowy find a life that was lived as an
example of revolutionary potential. Guevara's ethical and political
sensibilities, unwavering anti-imperialism, and firm commitment to
revolutionary social transformation still ignite hope in all who
struggle for a better world."
