Historia marxista latinoamericana: nacimiento, caída y resurrección

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is twofold: first, to give a brief account of the rise and fall of Latin American Marxist history in the Twentieth century; and second, to provide a fairly detailed analysis of two salient developments during its resurgence in the last ten years. One of them has taken place in Argentina and the other in Mexico. There have been similar efforts in other countries of the region, but the Argentinean and Mexican experiments illustrate two contrasting approaches to a Marxist resurrection.
