This book explores the vast and ongoing legacy of Che Guevara in world politics. It is one of the first volumes to explore both historical and contemporary manifestations of Che’s legacy, with an emphasis on the international dimensions of his thought and praxis. The chapters in this volume explore the ongoing influence of Che across political economy, revolutionary traditions, guerilla warfare, resistance movements in the global South, studies of neoimperialism and decolonialism, internationalism, education, and political theory. This volume highlights that Che’s thought remains highly relevant in contemporary world politics because the structures of global economic exploitation and social marginalisation continue to operate as they did in Che’s time. This volume offers a critical engagement with Che’s ideas and actions across world politics, weaving a path beyond ‘man, myth, and moment’ narratives, to offer a balanced account that engages across the highly contested nature of Che’s legacy. This book will be of interest to anyone concerned with history, politics, and international relations. Most of the chapters in this book were originally published as a special issue of Globalizations, with this edition featuring three new chapters, an updated Introduction and a new postscript.
