MEETING- Tuesday 26 February, 7.30pm – Community Centre, 62 Marchmont Street, WC1N 1AB
Speakers: Hugo Blanco
with Jeff Webber, author of books on indigenous struggles and the left in Latin America
and Terry Conway, Resistance Books
This meeting will be a unique opportunity to discuss contemporary revolutionary Eco-socialism in movements of solidarity with the exploited and oppressed in Latin America and lessons for global left politics.
Hugo Blanco has been described as the ‘Fidel Castro of the Andes’. Like Fidel and Che, Hugo Blanco was a charismatic revolutionary during the 1960s. His life of struggle for the Quechua and other indigenous peoples has been chronicled in these books co-published by Resistance Books and the Merlin Press:
Hugo Blanco a revolutionary for life, by Derek Wall *** We the Indians, by Hugo Blanco
