Book Overview

In a work centered on Marx's harsh biography of Sim n Bol var, Jos Aric examines why Latin America was apparently 'excluded' from Marx's thought, challenging the allegation that this expressed some 'Eurocentric' prejudice.

Aric shows how the German thinker's hostility towards the Bonapartism and authoritarianism he identified in the Liberator coloured his attitude towards the continent and the significance of its independence-processes. While criticizing Marx's misreading of Latin-American realities, Aric demonstrates contemporaneous, countervailing tendencies in Marx's thought, including his appraisal of the revolutionary potentialities of other 'peripheral' extra-European societies. As such, Aric convincingly argues that Marx's work was not a dogma of linear 'progress', but a living, contradictory body of thought constantly in development
