En México hay mucha desinformación sobre lo que está pasando en las universidades estadounidenses. Pablo Piccato aporta claridad. Recomiendo su lectura para tener una visión precisa sobre las protestas contra el genocidio en Gaza y las reacciones de las autoridades universitarias

My book is officially out today!

It comes after years of hard work which coincided with a period of great unrest and crisis in Nicaragua.

Happy on this publication day and grateful for the loved ones who made it possible.

Yesterday was the 94th anniversary of José Carlos Mariátegui’s death. Today, Journal of Latin American Studies publishes my article ‘Global Mariátegui’. A small contribution on, and to, attempts to reassess the affordances of his intellectual and political work. cambridge.org/core/journals/…

Incredible! Thanks to ⁦Michael J Bustamante, Ph.D.⁩ for sharing the news! We have been waiting for access to this #FordFoundation backed oral history collection since Dore presented it at a grad smr at Yale in 2006. #Historians of #Cuba let’s get to work! blogs.cul.columbia.edu/rbml/2023/10/0…

Book bans surged in latter 2023–esp in Florida. I never thought we would compete w/ #Communism & ban not only “Animal Farm” but “Farenheit 451”: maybe we should rename our state #Kundera for the irony. Oh yeah, I bet we banned him too…

Excellent report on public outrage in #Cuba where no food (or anything else) is produced locally. Cubans are utterly dependent on govt imports as never before & trapped like caged birds. 500,000 refugees have left since 2021. I predict mass protests as Cubans again lose all fear

My book 'The Wannabe Fascists' now exists... Kate Marshall, my editor at University of California Press just sent me a picture of the book as a fact. I am looking forward to receiving my author's copies!
