Where Are Latin American Freedom Struggles Today?

Speaker: Eugene Gogol

Gogol, who lives in Mexico City and is author of "The Concept of Other in Latin American Liberation", has recently returned from a trip to South America. He spoke with activists in Bolivia on the revolutionary processes unfolding there, participated in the Social Forum of the Americas in Paraguay—where activists from throughout South America shared experiences and ideas from their respective countries and social movements—and organized a three-day seminar on “The Dialectic in Latin America” with activist-thinkers in Argentina. In Mexico, he works with adherents to the Otra Campaña, one of the important networks of activists associated with the Zapatistas and Indigenous communities in Chiapas.
