Aleida March Research Paper

This project’s purpose is to record a people who have lived through the promises and outcomes of the Bolivarian Revolution, an idea that captured Venezuela’s spirit and spread across 16 Latin America nations as the Pink Tide. The poor and working class will be a fundamental component of this story as I investigate the role the revolution has played in shaping the lives of this perpetually overlooked group of people. Simultaneously, the nature of these issues will create a portal into the world of Venezuelan heritage, traditions, and political and civic culture. What I write will be the reality of the situation; the interpretation will be left up to the reader.

Cuba is merely one example of a society. Juan Cabrera is simply an ordinary example of an individual. What The Lonely Crossing of Juan Cabrera by J. Joaquin Fraxedas bring to light is the extraordinary effects of stepping outside the comfort zone of following the expectations of those that lead our governments. Although the situation was unlike our own it highlights what could very well could have

As Guevara had traveled to Cuba, he, for the rest of his life, indicated strong regard and care for the indigenous groups of people and their land, as demonstrated in the film. However, according to the book and film, he viewed himself as a communist and he ended up plainly well known for assuming

At the start of this story, Fidel Castro recalls images from his youth of revolutionaries carrying weapons and demanding that things were done their way. He speaks of the fear of being killed. Castro goes on to talk about how these revolutionaries always seem to

Fidel Castro’s Cuban Revolution is still discussed today in many households and academic facilities as one of the most important events that contributed to the current state of many Latin American nations. Due to the importance of this event, it is considered as an emotionally fueled topic for anyone who is associated with the Latin American identity. Many discussions are based on an emotionally fueled response, which give rise to two main arguments. The first of which is that Fidel is a hero amongst Cubans and Latin Americans for revolting against the authoritarian dictatorships prevalent in the region. The counter argument states that Fidel was an even more cruel dictator, who tainted Cuba, along with other Latin American nations. However, both arguments are too simplistic, and do not encompass the common facts that have been outlined in this school of thought. The political critics and theorist that have contributed to the academic discussion include Thomas Wright, Jorge Casteñeda, Peter Winn, and Che Guevara. All have interesting opinions and arguments about the Cuban Revolution, each with a different perspective. After analyzing this school of thought, the Cuban Revolution benefited Latin America as a whole in its early years, as it finally included agrarian reform in the main discussion, and it created the leftist platform that contributed to the “Pink Tide.” However, in the long term, Castro’s regime became more authoritarian and crippled its citizens’ political

In retrospect, the Cuban Revolution was more than a revolution of ideas, but a revolution of transforming the entire Cuban economy and society. Through Che’s idea of transforming the mind of each Cuban citizen into the “New Man” and the Agrarian Land Reform in the early stages of the revolution many were optimistic. Castro’s regime believed in giving power back to the peasants and in liberating the country from U.S. dominance. Many of these ideals seemed promising, but Castro and Che neglected the fact that the Cuban economy depended so much on sugar as a staple product, and the U.S. market. Castro, and Che lack what this paper will try to provide – hindsight. Through the analysis of secondary sources Che’s image, ideas, successes, and failures will be analyzed to prove why the Cuban Revolution was successful due to Che’s influence.

Ernesto “Che” Guevara Che Guevara was the Argentine born Marxist guerrilla who helped oust the corrupt Cuban government and set up a communist system 90 miles from the US. Che under the leadership of Fidel Castro helped lead a small guerrilla band of soldiers to take over the country. After the old government was out Che helped Castro decide communism as the way to go for Cuba. He helped Castro try to quickly industrialize the country, set up social reforms to try, and make Cuba a better place for its citizens. Che supported the struggle against imperialism by taking bands of guerrillas to Congo and Bolivia to help with revolutions there. Ernesto Guevara was born May 14, 1928 in Rosario, Argentina.

Previously, I thought that I could not relate to Neruda because his beliefs differed very much from mine. These beliefs clashed because Neruda is from a Latin American country that is communist, and he is also a communist; while someone like me lives in the United States which is a democracy. Following this, Neruda’s work was easier to relate to than I had originally thought because he talks about the Latin American struggle and gave his people a voice in poems such as United Fruit co. when he names the American companies that took advantage of Chile and other Latin American countries. In the IOQ, we as a class think communists are bad because of the way they are displayed in the United States, but the IOQ helped me understand that Neruda was more than a communist. Neruda was a person who used his platform, and took risks writing controversial poems about the struggle of his people to give them a voice, and politics to expose the corruptness of those leaders because they were not only taking advantage of their people but also giving communism a negative connotation. Adding on, Neruda was a strong advocate for communism which influenced his writing also even though he wrote about other communist leaders such as Martinez and Trujillo, his love for communism was shown when he wrote the ode to Fidel Castro. Neruda admires Castro because in his eves Fidel Castro does communism the right way unlike Martinez and Trujillo who took advantage of their countries resources and people. The way Neruda portrays Fidel Castro contradicts the way America portrays him because Castro is characterized as a person who killed anyone that got in the way of his vision of a perfect Cuba, While Neruda characterizes him as hero of communism because he did not corrupt his people by letting American companies take over Cuba and take advantage of the people of Cuba.

As an outspoken political activist, he was able to inspire not only his rebel troops but the nation with his speeches denouncing imperialism. Moreover, he would speak with such conviction that the Cubans not only felt compelled to listen, but to also believe in what he was saying. This was a leader that had no political connections and no formal press and yet gained the full support of the public. Despite numerous setbacks he demonstrated his determination by continually

In the first chapter, Enterdamonos, Guevara talks about the effect of his journey around America, and how this changed him into the man he was to become. The quote “All this wandering around our America with a capital A”has changed me more than I thought” said about this. Next, all people have their own personal legend, and often this myth is discovered in moments of travelling. Many have reported to have found themselves in moments when they truly got lost in the world. The quote”The person who wrote these notes passed away the moment his feet touched Argentina soil again gives us that the young Ernesto Guevara experienced life beyond the borders of his native Argentina, and realized that the world was whole bigger than him.” The troubles

“A heroic death, like a martyr’s death, is not a defeat but a triumph.” (4:1) Ernesto Guevara de la Serna was born and raised in Argentina on June 14, 1928. (1:2) While growing up he observed poverty in the masses and realized that the only solution lay within violent revolution. (2:2) Che Guevara should be considered a leader and legacy because he was an important part of the Cuban revolution, defined Cuba’s policies and his own views through many speeches and writings, and aided liberation movements around South America.

Words without deeds are worthless! When asked about Che Guevara many will only point to the images found on the t-shirts worn by left-leaning young adults, but did you know he was a prominent figure in the Cuban Revolution? Guevara was both a visionary and ethical leader because of his ability to both lead the Cuban Revolution and care for those suffering. In this paper we will review how Guevara was a visionary leader by his continuous engagement and willingness to put everything on the line. Second, we will examine how Guevara applied ethical principle though reflective thinking and intellectual empathy in helping him make the ethical decision to be a Revolutionary. Finally, I will reflect on how Guevars’s visionary and ethical leadership has influenced me to make changes to my leadership style. Guevara used his visionary and ethical leadership traits to start a revolution across Latin America.
