Princeton, NJ: Princeton University Press, 2023. 360 pp. $32.00 (hc). ISBN: 9780691243030 As Juliet Hooker reminds us in her insightful, urgent, and beautifully written book Black Grief/White Grievance: The Politics of Loss, democracy, contrary to common accounts, is as much about losing and accepting defeat …
Delimitations of Latin American Philosophy: Beyond Redemption
In this erudite, thought-provoking, and expansive book, Omar Rivera poses the following multifaceted philosophical and political question: How can philosophies of liberation celebrate and uncover silenced and marginalized histories and cultural identities around which to organize for and envision radical change, without essentializing those identities, caricaturing and idealizing their histories, and closing off options by presuming or anticipati…
Globalizing Political Theory
This chapter examines the work of the Vietnamese nationalist, Phan Chu Trinh, and of Ho Chi Minh, the leader of the Vietnamese communist revolution, who offer differing responses to the shared experience of suffering under French colonialism. Their ideas provide valuable insights into how colonized peoples have creatively responded to colonialism, namely by synthesizing Eastern and Western traditions to strengthen themselves. The “Vietnam War” to…

Living Ideology in Cuba: Socialism in Principle and Practice
In Living Ideology in Cuba, Katherine Gordy demonstrates how the Cuban state and its people engage in an ongoing negotiation that produces a "living ideology." In contrast to official slogans and fiats, Cuba's living ideology is a decentralized phenomenon, continually adapting, informing, and responding to daily life, without losing sight of the fundamental national principles of socioeconomic equality, unified leadership, and inclusive nationali…

The Cuban Revolution as Socialist Human Development
No better way to be Latin American: European science and thought, Latin American theory
Twentieth-century Marxist José Carlos Mariátegui wanted to give a Peruvian and indigeneous face to socialism in his country. He embraced Marxism as a method, but its application meant challenging many of its temporal and spatial assumptions. The encounter of European ideas with the Latin American experience was itself theoretically productive. It is paradoxical then that when defending his project, he evoked the name of the unabashedly Euro-centr…
Rogue Specters: Cuba and North Korea at the Limits of US Hegemony
The United States continues to label North Korea and Cuba “rogue states” of unique international distinction even though their economic, political, and military power has declined steadily since 1990. The authors argue that persistence of the label and accompanying US behavior is best understood by expanding upon a Schmittian frame of analysis to demonstrate that the designation of rogue state determines the normative weight given to certain beha…
