John Gerassi

4.9/5 (28759 ratings)

Description:In Havana in January 1966 the first Conference of the Organization of Solidarity of the Peoples of Africa, Asia, and Latin American (Tricon) convened. Eighty-two countries were represented, five hundred and twelve delegates...all of whom consider the United States the world's Number One Villain and aver "that until its imperialist force is conclusively defeated, no small country--no nation in the Third World, in the Tri Continents--can be safe."Are all these people communists? Is this just a new disguise for the old Comintern? John Gerassi says, "It was and is nothing of the kind." It is an organization of nationalist groups determined to smash imperialism and set up politically and economically free "people's governments" in their countries. Some are communist, others are various species of noncommunist activists. They all reject Russia's form of peaceful coexistence. To understand the nature of this movement and the multiplicity of its forms requires a knowledge of the political and economic history of the Third World. In this comprehensive reader, Mr. Gerassi assembles the elements of that knowledge. He circles the globe analyzing and defining the struggle wherever it has erupted from Chinese villages to the Berkeley campus. From the Huks in the Philippines to the Tupamaros of Uruguay, he culls the essence of the indigenous struggles. From the writings of Lenin, Fanon, the notebooks of teachers in the Congo, the interchange between Castro and the Venezuelan communist guerrillas, the platform of Al-Fatah, and the last letter of Patrice Lumumba to his wife come the emotions, the theories, the experiences, and the projected strategy of the leaders.It is a collection at once terrifying and edifying. Mr. Gerassi's own conclusions and commentary unify the divergent opinions. His attendance at the 1966 Tricon conference, journey to North Vietnam, correspondence with revolutionaries in Asia, Africa, and America, and visits with the imprisoned Huey Newton enhance the insight he brings to the subject. The Coming of the New International crystallizes for both the expert and the layman the scope and the basis of the revolutionary thrust and the character of the men committed to its realization.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
