Beskrivning
How and why has solidarity changed over time? Why have particular strategies, tactics, and strands of internationalism emerged or re-emerged at particular moments? And how has solidarity shaped the history of the US left in particular?In Solidarity, Steve Striffler addresses these key questions, offering the first history of US-Latin American solidarity from the Haitian Revolution to the present day. Striffler traces the history of internationalism through the Cold War, exploring the rise of human rights as the dominant current of international solidarity. He also considers the limitations of a solidarity movement today that inherited its organisational infrastructure from the human rights movements.Moving beyond conventionally ahistorical analyses of solidarity, here Striffler provides a distinctive intervention in the history of progressive politics in both the US and Latin America, the past and present of US imperialism and anti-imperialism, and the history of human rights and labour internationalism.

Recensioner i media

'An extraordinarily important book. I know no one better equipped or positioned to examine this important stream of US politics' -- Adolph Reed, University of Pennsylvania 'A brilliant introduction to the history of Latin American solidarity movement building, perfect for classrooms and workshops. Striffler has written a jargon-free study of the struggle to build solidarity across borders in the Americas' -- Paul Ortiz, author of 'An African American and Latinx History of the United States' 'An indispensable guide for how to be in a world dominated by a form of capitalism that is fast making its peace with fascism' -- Greg Grandin, New York University, author of 'Fordlandia: The Rise and Fall of Henry Ford's Forgotten Jungle City' 'A masterful account of US and Latin American solidarity. Exploring multiple strands of 20th century internationalism and incisive in its argumentation, Solidarity pushes us to think about what a radical, left internationalism might look like today' -- Lesley Gill, Professor of Anthropology, Vanderbilt University
