How Did We Get Here? Racial Reckoning To Racist RetrenchmentIn the summer of 2020, widespread protests against systemic racism swept the nation and the world in the aftermath of the police killings of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor.These protests built upon decades and centuries of collective resistance against racial injustice, and they also signaled a shift.People and communities that had never protested before-and had never uttered the words …
For Sara, compañera
For Sara, compañera John Beverley I don't know when I first met Sara. I was invited to give a talk at Dartmouth in the mid-seventies, just barely tenured myself. But she was away from campus during that visit. I do remember the younger faculty who were my natural cohorts during the visit speaking of her with a kind of fear and trembling. I don't know the ins and outs of everything, and in any case wouldn't broadcast them here, but what I can say …

Rethinking the Armed Struggle in Latin America
Representation of the period of armed struggle in Latin America, which extends from the early 1960s to the mid-1980s, has been dominated by a paradigm of disillusion that equates the armed struggle as a political strategy with an excess of youthful idealism or voluntarism. Waning of neoliberal hegemony and the resurgence of the Latin America Left in recent years has brought a need to revise this paradigm. The eventual defeat of the armed struggle…

Subaltern Resistance in Latin America: A Reply to Tom Brass
The valorization of peasants and/or forms of cultural or ethnic difference by subaltern studies that Tom Brass critiques has to do with the relation of Marxism and modernity. Is Marxism essentially a historicism based on the imposition of a normative model of modernity, in which peasants are destined to disappear under the aegis of the ‘development of the forces of production’, or does it point rather to understanding and mobilizing, in whatever …

The Postmodernism Debate in Latin America
Does the Project of the Left Have a Future
These days, I am not always sure what the correct line is on child rearing or daytime TV, much less the shape of things to come of the American or world body politic. So it is with certain trepidation that I take up here the question of the renewal of the Left. At one time, I was deeply involved in the effort to create socialist movement in this country. In particular, I was one of the architects of the 1980 merger between the New American Moveme…
El Testimonio en La Encrucijada
Puede hablar el subalterno?", pregunta Gayatri Spivak en una intervenci6n ya famosa. 2 Y responde, contra nuestra inclinaci6n de identificar a lo subalterno precisamente con la oralidad, con esa "voz" individual cuya insistencia ("Me Ilamo Rigoberta Menchu, y asi me naci6 la conciencia ... ") define al testimonio como genero, que no, no como tal, porque "el subaltemrno es el nombre del sitio que esti tan desplazado ... que hacerlo hablar seria co…

Through All Things Modern: Second Thoughts on Testimonio
This is why Indians are thought to be stupid. They can't think, they don't know anything, they say. But we have hidden our identity because we needed to resist, we wanted to protect what governments have wanted to take away from us. They have tried to take our things away and impose others on us, be it through religion, through dividing up the land, through schools, through books, through radio, through all things modern. -Rigoberta Menchu, /, Ri…

The Enormity of Cuba
The American power structure's current imaginative vacuum-the bankrupting of American mythological image production capacityis unparalleled in U.S. history. ... But let resistance write its own geography. ... [I]n the early 1990s, when all transformations disappoint and nothing seems to really end, the need to historicize remains as great as ever. -Christopher L.

Night Music: "Luis Cernuda's "Las Ruinas
Cernuda habla de su poesía como "algo cuya causa, a manera de fugacísima luz entre tinieblas eternas o sombra súbita entre la luz agobiadora, permanece escondida." Se estudia "Las ruinas" como paradigma del proceso poético en Cernuda, buscando ver la relación entre su estética y su ética. Sentido del tema de las ruinas en la poesía del baroco: ejemplo de la vanidad de la vida terrestre, escarmiento que eleva el pensamiento a Diós. Inversión de és…
