Abstract
The UJ SARChi Chair: African Diplomacy and Foreign Policy and the Institute for
Pan-African Thought and Conversation in partnership with the UJ Library and the
Che Guevara Studies Centre invite you to a discussion based on the book
Che Guevara Reader
About the book:
The Che Gueara Reader is published by the African Perspectives Publishers together with the Che Guevara
Studies Centre, Havana and Ocean press. The Che Guevara Reader includes four sections:
• The Cuban revolutionary war (1956-59)
• The years in government (1959-65)
• Guevara’s views on the major international struggles of the 1960’s
• A new selection of letters
This is the most authoritative collection to date of Che’s work and is an unprecedented source of
primary material on Cuba and Latin America. By presenting Che in his own words, this
contributes to a better understanding of Che’s thoughts, allowing the reader to delve into his
cultural depth, his incisiveness, his irony, his passion and his astute observations, that is to this
day, the living Che.
