About the Author
This is a wonderfully rendered work of historical recuperation. Buckley, with graceful style, captures both the hopes and fears that ran across the political spectrum in Ecuador. Invaluable.

The current text brilliantly highlights AVC's political, social and cultural contributions, and assesses its greater impact within the problematics of modernity. It is without a doubt a welcomed document to the greater understanding of social reality in South America and the Andes.

Part meditation on modernity, part reflection on the aging of revolutionary activism, part oral history collection, this readable volume on Ecuador’s Alfaro Vive Carajo offers the first systematic account of a unique if often overlooked guerrilla movement from Latin America’s Cold War.
