{"product_id":"che-guevara-oliver-besancenot-9781583671771","title":"Che Guevara: His Revolutionary Legacy","description":"\u003cp\u003e\"Deep inside that T-shirt where we have tried to trap him,\" notes the celebrated Chilean novelist Ariel Dorfman, \"the eyes of Che Guevara are still burning with impatience.\" Olivier Besancenot and Michael L wy deftly capture this burning impatience, revealing Guevara as a powerful political and ethical thinker still capable of speaking directly to the challenges of our time.\u003cbr\u003eIn this masterful new study, Besancenot and L wy explore and situate Guevara's ethical, revolutionary, and humanist legacy. They explicate Guevara's emphasis on the import of the individual coming to understand and accept socialism at a personal level. For Guevara, Besancenot and L wy show, the revolutionary project demands more than a transformation of the mode of production; it demands a profound transformation of the individual, the birth of what Guevara termed the \"new man.\" Besancenot and L wy also explore Guevara's pragmatic approach to the question of state power and unique theoretical contributions to the question of the transition to socialism.\u003cbr\u003eIn Guevara, Besancenot and L wy find a life that was lived as an example of revolutionary potential. Guevara's ethical and political sensibilities, unwavering anti-imperialism, and firm commitment to revolutionary social transformation still ignite hope in all who struggle for a better world.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Oliver Besancenot, Michael Löwy\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1583671773\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781583671771\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Monthly Review Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/01\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.35lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 5.40w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2009 pg. 70","brand":"Oliver Besancenot","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46721332150527,"sku":"9781583671771","price":16.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_85df0830-c79a-4a2a-a466-4f2f758c8c0c.jpg?v=1742752545","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/che-guevara-oliver-besancenot-9781583671771","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
