This volume so convincingly demonstrates South-South interactions are as important if not more so than interactions from the north to the south. Both scholars and a broader public with interests in solidarity and political mobilizations will warmly welcome Stites Mor's insightful contributions to our understandings of solidarity." - Marc Becker, author of Twentieth-Century Latin American Revolutions "Stites Mor's expertise has established her as a leading authority on histories of Latin America, solidarity, human rights and culture. This book builds on her work, positioning the region in a global context and offering new conceptual frameworks to theorize solidarity, its practices, results, and legacies. This exciting and ambitious contribution is a pleasure to read." - Tanya Harmer, author of Beatriz Allende: A Revolutionary Life in Cold War Latin America "Offers major contributions to several interconnected fields. . . . With this book Stites Mor joins the best of transnational historians in pushing traditional boundaries and expanding our understanding of the complex realities in our interconnected world. Moreover, she challenges scholars of transnational solidarity to expand our definitions of “activist,” to attend to the long term of solidarity work (beyond the protest marches and other public flares), and to uncover precisely how ideas of solidarity and partnership are communicated, received, and acted upon." - The Americas"Ambitious. It tackles four very different cases of South-South connections using archives from eight countries." - Hispanic American Historical Review
