Transpacific Revolutionaries The Chinese Revolution in Latin America

"We have long needed a book such as that which Matthew Rothwell provides in Transpacific Revolutionaries. His work on the important influence of Chinese maoists on Latin American revolutionary thought and action fills a significant gap in our understandings of Latin American marxism." - Marc Becker, A Contracorriente "This pioneering work measures the effect of Chinese success and experience on key elements of the Latin American left and populism in the second half of the twentieth century including the 1968 student movement in Mexico, the Shining path in Peru, and the growing unrest in Bolivia. It is a must-read for students of Modern Latin America." - John Mason Hart, University of Houston
