The modern strategic response to state dictatorships in Latin America has its origins in Ernesto Che Guevara's "Guerra de guerrillas". This course will focus on how those irregular military groups were formed in Chile, Mexico, Argentina, and Uruguay during the 20th Century. We will give particular attention to the "invisible" guerrillas" (the women) in revolutionary moments. That view will be enhanced by films and literature on this subject. Authors include Palau, Ignacio Taibo II, Tort, Gibler, Guevara, Gilio, Caula, and Cavallo.
