Research and study of ideologies of social and national emancipation and their application to conditions within imperialist society

Latin America and socialist internationalism study initiative

The following suggestions have kindly been made to the Institute for study of this question:

There are lots of fantastic/prescient writings by Latin American political and historic leaders, but since the central issue is independence ideologies, at this stage I would suggest three:

Simon Bolivar – The Jamaica Letter (1815) – https://www.fransamaltingvongeusau.com/documents/njno/GL.%2006.%20Bolivar,%20jamaica%20letter.pdf 

José Martí – Our America (1891) – https://misiones.cubaminrex.cu/en/articulo/our-america-jose-marti

José Carlos Mariátegui – The Agrarian Problem and the Indian Question (1928) – https://www.marxists.org/archive/mariateg/works/7-interpretive-essays/essay03.htm 

These three Latin American political leaders addressed the issue of nation formation and independence in three different historical moments in their own countries but all three adopting a continental scope.
