  • More about Making the Revolution: Histories of the Latin American Left

The book "Making the Revolution" challenges the narrative of the Latin American left as solely driven by privileged urban youth and highlights the diverse struggles and ideologies of leftists from marginalized populations across ten different countries. It offers valuable insights into modern Latin American history, politics, and sociology.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 318 pages
Publication date: 11 July 2019
Publisher: Cambridge University Press


The portrayal of the Latin American left in the 20th century often assumes a movement primarily composed of privileged urban youth whose idealistic aspirations of revolution were crushed by their own elitism, racism, sexism, and sectarian dogmas. However, this book presents a more comprehensive understanding of the history of the left. It reveals that leftists have grappled with a range of challenges, including capitalism and empire, while also addressing issues such as racism, patriarchy, and authoritarianism. The ideology and practices of the left were often shaped by marginalized individuals and communities, from Bolivian indigenous groups in the 1920s to revolutionary women in El Salvador's guerrilla movements in the 1980s.

Through ten historical case studies of ten different countries, Making the Revolution showcases some of the most significant research on the Latin American left by renowned senior and emerging scholars. It offers a much-needed corrective to modern Latin American history, politics, and sociology, providing valuable insights into the complex and diverse landscape of the region's political movements.
