Attention NYC: “Latin American Revolutions of the 20th Century” @ The Brecht Forum
Peacecomrade.org highly suggest this class to all supporters of the PRPBN and the Polymathematic Community in New York City and all people interested in a creative approach to the study of the development of the Latin American Revolution.
Starting Every Tuesday February 23rd, 2010 7:30 PM to 9:30 PM
Latin American Revolutions of the 20th Century
From Pancho Villa to Castro & Beyond
We will look at four successful Armed Revolutions of the 20th century in Latin America (sorry, no unsuccessful or peaceful revolutions, perhaps in another study). We will go chronologically, spending two weeks on each revolution, starting from the Mexican Revolution of 1910, then going to the Cuban Revolution of the 1950s, then to the Sandinista revolution of the 1970s, and finally to the Zapatista Uprising of the 1990s. The first week of each revolution will discuss the situation and conditions that lead to each revolution, to the waging of each revolution. The second session will discussion the seizure of power and the first steps of the institutionalization of the Revolution. Short excerpts of films (about 30 minutes) will be shown for some of the classes. Books will be assigned for guided reading. The hope is that this will not be a lecture class, but participatory with all involved. Volunteers may be assigned to prepare a presentation of segments of the reading materials.
