Las revoluciones latinoamericanas del siglo XX desde la historia comparada

Abstract

The theme of revolution seems to become out of fashion because of the extraordinary dissemination of postmodern thought and its questioning of the enlightened idea of linear progress and the validity of the actual concept of revolution. The fall of the Berlin Wall and the crisis of socialism seemed to confirm this view when it was enthusiastically proclaimed the "end of history". However, nothing is far from reality. The very imposition of neoliberal globalization conformed new relations of domination that are undoubtedly incubating the seeds of emerging revolutions, even if, by their very nature, it is impossible to predict with accuracy. This text provides a reflection on the theme.
