Revolutionary Movements in Latin America since 1910 offers a clear introduction to some of the key revolutionary moments that have occurred across Latin America since the beginning of the twentieth century. Drawing on debates and developments in contemporary historiography, this book examines important turning points and actors that have shaped the history of the region. These include pivotal events, such as the Mexican and Guatemalan Revolutions, alongside lesser-known examples of revolutionary upheaval, such as Cuba’s Revolution of 1933 and smaller-scale but hugely ambitious guerrilla movements. In so doing, it will explore what the idea of ‘revolution’ has come to mean in the Latin American context, while highlighting overlapping patterns of ideas and actions across different contexts. The book’s accessible format, complete with accompanying primary documents, glossary and introductory overview of prominent revolutionaries, is ideal for undergraduate students and non-specialist readers interested in revolutionary change in Latin American history.
