Description: "Currently, Latin America and the Caribbean make up what is arguably one of the most dynamic regions in the world, challenging the consensus put forth by neoliberalism and even liberalism. Nonetheless, the region's philosophical traditions are mostly unknown in the English-speaking world. This book argues that, not only are the ideas of José Martí and Che Guevara key to identifying false ideas about liberty and democracy, which concerned Simón Bolivar two centuries ago--they are also relevant to modern worries about alienation and meaninglessness"--Page 4 of cover.
