{"product_id":"becoming-the-tupamaros-lindsey-churchill-9780826519443","title":"Becoming the Tupamaros: Solidarity and Transnational Revolutionaries in Uruguay and the United States","description":"In \u003ci\u003eBecoming the Tupamaros\u003c\/i\u003e, Lindsey Churchill explores an alternative narrative of US-Latin American relations by challenging long-held assumptions about the nature of revolutionary movements like the Uruguayan Tupamaros group. A violent and innovative organization, the Tupamaros demonstrated that Latin American guerrilla groups during the Cold War did more than take sides in a battle of Soviet and US ideologies. Rather, they digested information and techniques without discrimination, creating a homegrown and unique form of revolution.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChurchill examines the relationship between state repression and revolutionary resistance, the transnational connections between the Uruguayan Tupamaro revolutionaries and leftist groups in the US, and issues of gender and sexuality within these movements. Angela Davis and Eldridge Cleaver, for example, became symbols of resistance in both the United States and Uruguay. and while much of the Uruguayan left and many other revolutionary groups in Latin America focused on motherhood as inspiring women's politics, the Tupamaros disdained traditional constructions of femininity for female combatants. Ultimately, \u003ci\u003eBecoming the Tupamaros\u003c\/i\u003e revises our understanding of what makes a Movement truly revolutionary.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lindsey Churchill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 082651944X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780826519443\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Vanderbilt University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/24\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.20w x 1.10d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2014","brand":"Lindsey Churchill","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43926598779135,"sku":"9780826519443","price":79.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_ca22a0a9-2493-4fcc-b87d-e4bd9001609a.jpg?v=1681083975","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/becoming-the-tupamaros-lindsey-churchill-9780826519443","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
