Select Condition 
Book Overview
Few publications cover the full span of the history of revolutionary movements in Latin America. In Revolution and Revolutionaries, editor Daniel Castro examines all aspects of guerrilla warfare-from revolutionary programs to the repressive tactics used by various governments to rid themselves of the threats presented by revolutionary movements. In addition to illustrating specific cases of guerrilla struggles, Revolution and Revolutionaries also analyzes the political and social conditions that made the outbreak of revolutionary movements throughout the region unavoidable. Finally, Castro examines the remaining guerrilla movements still active in Latin America as the century comes to a close. Revolution and Revolutionaries revives the debate about the viability of revolutionary violence in Latin America, and will interest those studying Latin American history and sociology, and political science.

Castro's book a unique look at guerrillas
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
Castro sets out to compile an anthology of literature on guerrillas in Latin American history, and he does so in a concise, easy to read volume. I read this book when it was a coursepack, and I liked it then (I also liked the class), as I like it now. Castro's selections sample fairly well-known guerrillas, such as Che Guevara and Zapata, as well as those the average reader has not heard of, like Inti Peredo and Tupac Amaru. More importantly than any one selection, Castro's book sets out the revolutionary tradition in Latin America in a timeline that stretches from colonial Peru to contemporary Central America--and it flows together from piece to piece very well. Simply put, it is a useful resource to any sociologist, anthropologist, or historian interested in Latin American social movements. I would highly recommend it.
