5.0 out of 5 stars Hablando en serio de la revolución, March 7, 2002
By 
Harvey (Chicago, IL USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Che Guevara Habla a la Juventud (Che Guevara Speaks to the Young) (Paperback)
El libro publica ocho discursos pronunciados por el dirigente de la revolución cubana, Ernesto Che Guevara, en reuniones con estudiantes y trabajadores cubanos, y jóvenes de otros países solidarios con la revolución. Nos da un vistazo importante a algunos aspectos claves en la historia de la revolución cubana. Y realmente los discursos son aún más importantes por su relevancia hoy en día para trabajadores y jóvenes de todo el mundo.

Che habla del desarrollo de la revolución, del subdesarrollo económico y los pasos necesarios para transformar la sociedad, de los enfrentamientos con el gobierno norteamericano, de la reforma agraria y su importancia para cualquier país en un proceso revolucionario. Habla también del papel del individuo en la sociedad, presentando una perspectiva no de caridad sino de solidaridad con los oprimidos y explotados. Expresa una confianza enorme en la capacidad de jóvenes -- estudiantes, obreros y campesinos-- de superarse en el proceso de cambiar la sociedad.

¡Léalo! ¡Compártalo! ¡Discútalo! ¡Qué sea de provecho!

5.0 out of 5 stars Lee el Ché en su propia voz, April 17, 2002
By 
This review is from: Che Guevara Habla a la Juventud (Che Guevara Speaks to the Young) (Paperback)
Los títulos de los discursos lo dice todo para que este libro quede de cabecera para todo rebelde.

Siendo médico él, explicó que no basta ser buena gente para ser médico revolucionario, sino hay que hacer una revolución. Ya victoriosa la revolución, explicó la que tiene que hacer la juventud comunista. Se puede tomar este consejo bastante a pecho, porque hay demasiada gente que quiere ser buena persona y hasta allí.

Lee el Ché en su propia voz, para que juzgas con tu propio criterio. Es en esto que se destaca la editorial Pathfinder: dar espacio los revolucionarios hablar por si mismo, y bien merecedora es esta adición a su "serie" de "Habla..."

De índole histórico, en esta colección se puede trazar la maduración intelectual de este personaje, de la manera en que se estaba llegando a cuajar las ideas que resultaron en el primer proyecto socialista solidaria, que se volvió a tomar en 1985 -justo a tiempo antes de que la URSS empezó a estremecer-.

5.0 out of 5 stars The one Book to Bequeath our Children, January 6, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Che Guevara Habla a la Juventud (Che Guevara Speaks to the Young) (Paperback)
We leave our children a world in which they are in the hopeless 99%, having abandoned the true path long ago.

The least we can do is provide them with some truth, some strength, some way to survive with pride and justice and progress.

Here we have a comprehensive yet compact and portable compendium to travel the hard road ahead, with much extra material, such as a thorough yet brief biography, and excellent glossary, a suggestion for further readings in a lengthy bibliography, and an interesting preface by Armando Hart Davalos, author of Aldabonazo: Inside the Cuban Revolutionary Underground, 1952-58: A Participant's Account and of Poner en orden las ideas (Ensayo) (Spanish Edition). See also Hart's Changing the rules of the game and his part of Message of the Minister of Education to the People of Cuba.

We also find here as front end material an introduction by Mary-Alice Walker, author of Che Guevara y la Realidad Imperialista (Spanish Edition) and several other volumes in this excellent Pathfinder series. See also El capitalismo y la transformación de África: Reportajes desde Guinea Ecuatorial (Spanish Edition).

This book is further enhanced by the discourse given by President Fidel Castro upon the laying to final rest of the remains of Cdte. Ernesto Guevara and his final companions captured in Bolivia, to be lain at least partially to rest at long last on the highest Cuban mountain, in 1997, precisely thirty after their torture and murder in captivity.

This important book directed to inspire our youth also opens with a brief presentation of the historical context and social significance of each of the eight talks by Guevara published here, originally delivered between 1959 and 1964, with most given in 1960.

For instance, we find here a discussion delivered by el Che to medical students and health care workers on August 19, 1960, titled "To be a revolutionary doctor, we must first make revolution." These medical students and their followers went on to deliver free medical services worldwide, for instance in Angola and Nicaragua, and also arrived at US shores after the levees broke to bring relief to those elderly who had been left out to die by our own government, which sent our military to turn these health workers away at the point of assault rifles. See When the Levees Broke: A Requiem In Four Acts. These dedicated medical workers are inspired to help people, not to bleed us financially for personal material gain, but to relieve suffering and to do no harm. Please see Sicko (Special Edition), in which the only place survivors of the 9/11 attacks can find any health care is in Havana. Or was it in Fahrenheit 9/11?

Medical brigades are one of Cuba's major exports, in health care workers well trained. These medical workers do not seek personal profit but helping humanity with caring compassion. Please read this speech knowing the historical context, and what it means to be revolutionary, not for money but for love.

Please read carefully these pages and remember what we can do together as a people, united, and act.

Some titles may appear dry, such as the speech given at the University of Havana on March 2, 1960 called The role of the university in the economic development of Cuba, but it is all engaging, gripping, inspiring, serious, academic and intense. Please read, and, reading, act.

Take this book with you as sustenance for the hard road ahead which grows ever deeper to walk, and cannot be gone alone, but together.

Our youth require this book now for their journey, a guide.

And this old man reads it anew with hope and with joy.

How long was it been since we have had any?
