Beskrivning
This volume collects the proceedings of the First Latin American Communist Conference, organized in Buenos Aires, Argentina in June 1929 by the South American Secretariat of the Moscow-based Communist International (Comintern). The Conference was the first and in some ways only opportunity that communists in Latin America had to engage in a broad discussion of the most important problems and challenges that they faced. The topics that the assembled delegates addressed – including militarism, anti-imperialism, trade union issues, and racial discrimination – were all central to the question of how to organise a strong revolutionary movement. This major documentary collection of the Latin American Communist movement, newly translated into English and with a substantial introduction, remains surprisingly relevant to our world today. With an introduction by Victor Jeifets and Lazar Jeifets.

Recensioner i media

The Latin American Revolutionary Movement "raises issues that have continued to be debated in the Communist movement and the left in general to this day. The book also shines light on positions assumed in the context of the international Communist movement’s “Third Period” from 1928 to 1935, which has generally been viewed as sectarian and ultra-leftist". It "[...] is a gold mine for those interested in leftist history in that it deals with a period in which the Communist movement was a major force on the left in Latin America and the rest of the world. It will also be of interest to historians in general because of its discussion of polemical issues which are still being debated and because of its relevance in such areas of study as anti-imperialism, dependency theory, anti-fascism, organized labor, gender, race, ethnicity and political strategy in general." — Steve Ellner, in: Taylor & Francis Online (23 March 2026)
