The Cold War's official end generated waves of politicised nostalgia and prescriptions for the newly configured Cuba and Germany, as exemplified in films like \u003cem\u003eBuena Vista Social Club\u003c\/em\u003e. Meanwhile, from the New Left movement to today, revolutionary compatriots Ché Guevara and Tamara Bunke continued to be icons of youth resistance, even while being commodified globally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eSun, Sex, and Socialism\u003c\/em\u003e illustrates how Germans identified with transnational communities beyond the East-West binary.
