| description |
The Cuban revolution was an important point of reference for transnational mobilization and activism (mainly, but not exclusively, of the New Left) by renewing practices, discourses and imaginaries around internationalism, solidarity and anti-capitalist struggles. Not only the support and recognition of guerrilla groups by the Cuban government in various Latin American countries but also events such as the Tricontinental Congress (1966), the founding of the Latin American Organization of Solidarity (OLAS, 1967) and cultural events such as those organized by Casa de las Americas expanded the repertoires of collective action. Also helped building networks of sociability and allowed the exchange of information. Twenty years later, transnational activism emerged again to mobilize support for the revolutionary processes in El Salvador, Guatemala and Nicaragua by denouncing human rights violations by the Salvadoran and Guatemalan governments. This activism promotes the demands of equality and social justice defended by the revolutionary organizations in the region, and criticizing the military interference of the US government as the most important obstacle to peace, democracy and development in the region. This article discusses continuities, discontinuities and innovations within transnational activism in support of these two revolutionary processes and aims to contribute to the debate on the ways through which social agents adapt practices, discourses and social imaginaries to new moments and political dynamics. |

I10-R10-article-189292020-02-13T21:00:11Z Transnational activism and solidarity, from Cuba to Central America Activismo transnacional y solidaridad, de Cuba a Centroamérica Pirker, Kristina new left revolutionary movements internationalism. nueva izquierda movimientos revolucionarios internacionalismo The Cuban revolution was an important point of reference for transnational mobilization and activism (mainly, but not exclusively, of the New Left) by renewing practices, discourses and imaginaries around internationalism, solidarity and anti-capitalist struggles. Not only the support and recognition of guerrilla groups by the Cuban government in various Latin American countries but also events such as the Tricontinental Congress (1966), the founding of the Latin American Organization of Solidarity (OLAS, 1967) and cultural events such as those organized by Casa de las Americas expanded the repertoires of collective action. Also helped building networks of sociability and allowed the exchange of information. Twenty years later, transnational activism emerged again to mobilize support for the revolutionary processes in El Salvador, Guatemala and Nicaragua by denouncing human rights violations by the Salvadoran and Guatemalan governments. This activism promotes the demands of equality and social justice defended by the revolutionary organizations in the region, and criticizing the military interference of the US government as the most important obstacle to peace, democracy and development in the region. This article discusses continuities, discontinuities and innovations within transnational activism in support of these two revolutionary processes and aims to contribute to the debate on the ways through which social agents adapt practices, discourses and social imaginaries to new moments and political dynamics. La revolución cubana fungió como un punto de referencia para la movilización y el activismo transnacional (principalmente, pero no exclusivamente, de las Nuevas Izquierdas) al renovar prácticas, discursos e imaginarios en torno al internacionalismo, la solidaridad y las luchas anticapitalistas. No sólo el apoyo y el reconocimiento a grupos guerrilleros en diversos países por el gobierno cubano, también fueron eventos como el Congreso Tricontinental (1966), la fundación de la Organización Latinoamericana de Solidaridad (OLAS, 1967), eventos culturales como los que organizaba Casa de las Américas, los que ampliaron los repertorios de la acción colectiva, al construir redes de sociabilidad y permitir el intercambio de información. Veinte años después, emergió un activismo transnacional orientado a movilizar apoyos a favor de los procesos revolucionarios en El Salvador, Guatemala y Nicaragua a partir de un discurso que denunciaba las violaciones a los derechos humanos por los gobiernos salvadoreño y guatemalteco, se identificaba con las reivindicaciones a favor de la igualdad y justicia social de las organizaciones revolucionarias y señalaba la injerencia militar del gobierno estadounidense como mayor obstáculo para la paz, la democracia y el desarrollo de la región. A partir de constatar estos dos momentos entrelazados, el artículo señala continuidades, innovaciones y tensiones dentro del activismo transnacional que acompañó los dos grandes procesos revolucionarios y busca aportar al debate sobre las dinámicas por medio de las cuales prácticas, discursos e imaginarios colectivos se van adaptando a nuevos momentos y coyunturas históricas.
