A Cuban Spring
The Long Night of the Generals
For the vast majority in the Southern Cone countries, the coups of the past ten years have meant sudden and overwhelming changes. These changes affect every aspect of life—people's work, standards
Latin America's Turbulent Transitions
Over the past few years, something remarkable has occurred in Latin America. For the first time since the Sandinista Revolution in Nicaragua in the 1980s, people within the region have turned toward radical left governments - specifically in Venezuela, Bolivia, and Ecuador. Why has this profound shift taken place and how does this new, so-called Twenty-First-Century Socialism actually manifest itself? What are we to make of the often fraught rela…

Globalization and Postmodern Politics
Globalization and Postmodern Politics
The Fin De Siecle Debate
Behind the economic turbulence and political trans-formations of recent decades is the transition from the nation-state phase of World capitalism to a new transnational phase. While many detractors of globalization focus on global trade, the process is driven by the transnationalization of capital Ownership, Which in turn leads to the rise of a transnational bourgeoisie that sits at the apex of the global order. Parallel to the transatlantic and …

Socialism is Dead, Long Live Socialism
With this essay by Roger Burbach, we return to our series of “anniversary essays“ on the ideas, concepts and events that have been central to our understanding of Latin America over the past 30 years. We inaugurated this celebration of our thirtieth anniversary in September 1996 with an essay on imperialism by Elizabeth Dore and John Weeks, and will conclude it in the next issue with Jean Franco’s essay on feminism
For a Zapatista Style Postmodernist Perspective; Marxism and Postmodernism
The left is on the brink of collapse. It has very little influence in the arena of mass politics while fewer and fewer people are interested in Marxist journals, books, and intellectual discourses. In 1982 Michael Ryan, in a book written to find common ground between Marxism and postmodernism, noted that "millions have been killed because they were Marxists; no one will be obliged to die because s/he is a deconstructionist."This article can also …
The Pot Boils Over
The killing of ex-Sandinista soldiers in Esteli, the hostage crisis, the often Machiavellian role played by Humberto Ortega, and the ever deepening tensions within the Sandinista party itself-these incidents or critical issues have placed Nicaragua on the brink of what appears to be an impending collapse
Roots of the Postmodern Rebellion in Chiapas
The Indian uprising in Chiapas that burst upon the world scene in January is a postmodern political movement. The rebellion is an attempt to move beyond the politics of modernity, be they of the Salinas de Gortari government or of past national liberation movements. And even more fundamentally
Russia's Upheaval
The attempted Putsch and its failure in August, 1991 ushered in a new stage in Russian and global politics. The very disintegration of the Soviet Union is unique. In modern history no major power has collapsed so rapidly without suffering from the ravages of an invasion or war.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are published in full.Click here to purchase a PDF version of this article at the M…
Restoration in Czechoslovakia
A year and a half after the Velvet Revolution in Czechoslovakia, the country's post-communist leadership is bent on the restoration of a full blown capitalist order. A new bourgeoisie is emerging, legislation is being passed that widens class divisions, and Western neo-liberalism is the government's economic doctrine. While Czechoslovakia is by no means alone in Eastern Europe in its swing to capitalism, the Czechoslovakian transition has unique …

Central America
U.S. imperialism is facing an acute political crisis in Central America. This strategic isthmus of land that has been dominated by U.S. interests for over a century is today the scene of intense revolutionary conflicts. Three countries—Nicaragua, EI Salvador, and Guatemala—are at the center of this upheaval. It is there that the revolutionary forces are most advanced, having already seized power in Nicaragua.This article can also be found at the …
Nicaragua
The overthrow of the Somoza regime by the Sandinista guerrillas has had a profound impact on the rest of Latin America. While military regimes in countries like El Salvador and Guatemala have been shaken by the sequence of events in Nicaragua, revolutionary movements in countries as far away as Chile and Argentina have drawn new hope from the victory of the Sandinista National Liberation Front (or Sandinista Front). But just as important as the v…

Reply to Burbach and Painter; Rejoinder to Novák
Whilst I thought the article "Restoration in Czechoslovakia" by Roger Burbach and Steve Painter (MR, April 1991) described the current situation here fairly well, I feel that, on three levels, Steve and Roger's underlying assumptions and political perspectives distort their analysis and confuse author and reader alike.This article can also be found at the Monthly Review website, where most recent articles are published in full.Click here to purch…
