Este artículo traza el perfil de seis jóvenes comunistas de origen judío comprometidos con la Revolución cubana durante los años 60. Sus biografías exponen las huellas de su formación judeo-progresista y el anhelo de construir una nueva sociedad socialista en América Latina. El trabajo ofrece un contrapunto con el sionismo de izquierda que migró a Israel, a construir el socialismo en los marcos de su colectividad.

Este artigo traça o perfil de seis jovens comunistas de origem judaica comprometidos com a Revolução Cubana durante a década de 1960. Suas biografias expõem os traços de suas origens judaico-progressistas e seu anseio de construir uma nova sociedade socialista na América Latina. A obra oferece um contraponto ao sionismo de esquerda que migrou para Israel, para construir o socialismo dentro das estruturas de sua coletividade. Considerando a narrativa hegemônica que naturalizou a ideia de que judaísmo e sionismo são equivalentes, ela revela a existência de outras identidades judaicas - ateia, comunista e revolucionária - no caso específico de Cuba.   Grupo Prohistoria 2025-06-30 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion application/pdf https://ojs.rosario-conicet.gov.ar/index.php/prohistoria/article/view/2031 10.35305/prohistoria.vi43.2031 Prohistoria.
