North Korea, Tricontinentalism, and the Latin American Revolution, 1959–1970
In this deftly argued book, Moe Taylor examines the flourishing relationship between North Korea, Cuba, and the Latin American Left through the 1960s. Beginning with the Cuban Revolution, which represented North Korea's first phase of major engagement with the region, both nations found common ground in the belief that the hopes of the international Left relied on an anti-imperialist, anti-US united front – a global campaign of guerrilla warfare …
A New Kind of Vanguard
During the 1960s, the Cuban government attempted to play a leadership role within the Latin American Left. In the process Cuban leaders departed from Marxist−Leninist orthodoxy, garnering harsh criticism from their Soviet and Chinese allies. Yet Cuba found a steadfast supporter of its controversial positions in North Korea. This support can in large part be explained by the parallels between Cuban and North Korean ideas about revolution in the de…
Walter Rodney, Forbes Burnham, and the specter of pseudo-socialism
During the 1970s, the renowned Guyanese scholar and revolutionary Walter Rodney (1942–1980) developed his theory of "pseudo-socialism" as the centerpiece of his critique of the Forbes Burnham government and the proliferation of self-styled socialist governments throughout the Global South more broadly. While Rodney's original analysis has been quite influential, this essay represents a critical reappraisal which recognizes its limitations in the …
Every Citizen a Soldier
In December 1976, Prime Minister Forbes Burnham of Guyana and the ruling People's National Congress launched the Guyana People's Militia. The militia combined the pragmatic goals of national defense, internal security, and economic development with a political goal of uprooting the psychological effects of colonialism and building a new socialist society. Modeled on a similar institution in Yugoslavia, the Guyana People's Militia reflected the er…
One Hand Can't Clap”
In a little-known episode of the Cold War that challenges many common assumptions, North Korea forged extensive political, economic, military and cultural relations with the small South American-Caribbean coastal state of Guyana in the 1970s and 1980s. During this time, Guyana was ruled by an authoritarian socialist regime under Forbes Burbham, whose unorthodox conception of “socialism” was viewed skeptically by Communist countries other than Nor…
Only a disciplined people can build a nation
As the 1970s drew to a close, Forbes Burnham (1923-85), Guyana's controversial leader of 21 years, received Pyongyang's assistance in importing the North Korean tradition of Mass Games, establishing them as a major facet of the nation's cultural and political life during the 1980-92 period. The current study documents this episode in Guyanese history and seeks to explain why the Burnham regime prioritized such an experiment in a time of austerity…
