Who this is
“A self-taught man in a wheelchair, dead at thirty-five, rethought Marxism from the periphery — and reset the way a continent understood itself.”
The big idea, in the book's words:
“A liberating idea cannot be imported like machinery — socialism in the Americas must be built from Latin America's own reality, above all from the indigenous communities and their unresolved claim to the land.”
