What is a revolution?
And other collected essays
Author Alvaro Garcia Linera.
The question that titles this book is a central theme in Álvaro García Linera's intellectual program. Revolution—the most reclaimed and demonized word of the 20th century—is configured as a political-military act by the masses who seize power to demolish the old social order and build a new one. It is also a signifier around which an entire narrative of the production of future history will be constructed, with such force that it is capable of mobilizing the passions, sacrifices, and hopes of more than half the inhabitants of every continent. From the theme of revolution, other topics emerge and are articulated in García Linera's work, which this book brings together and explores: the ideology of globalization, the reinvention of the left, the communitarian horizon, and the idea of the nation as a political community.
