"With the end of the global Cold War, the struggle for human rights has emerged as one of the most controversial forces of change in Latin America. Many observers seek the foundations of that movement in notions of rights and models of democratic institutions that originated in the global North. Challenging that view, this volume argues that Latin American community organizers, intellectuals, novelists, priests, students, artists, urban pobladores, refugees, migrants, and common people have contributed significantly to new visions of political community and participatory democracy. These local actors built an alternative transnational solidarity from below with significant participation of the socially excluded and activists in the global South. Edited by Jessica Stites Mor, this book offers fine-grained case studies that show how Latin America's re-emerging Left transformed the struggles against dictatorship and repression of the Cold War into the language of anti-colonialism, socioeconomic rights, and identity"--Provided by publisher.

Este artículo considera el papel de la Organización de Solidaridad con los Pueblos de África, Asia y América Latina (OSPAAAL) en la promoción de una visión latinoamericana, tricontinentalista de la solidaridad interregional del Tercer examina, por un lado Mundo. En el texto se argumenta que Cuba hizo uso de las artes visuales y de la comunicación gráfica para enmarcar y replantear determinados eventos históricos, utilizando a la OSPAAAL como un canal de ideas revolucionarias procubanas, tal como circularon entre las luchas de liberación nacional y en los llamados a la acción por la solidaridad internacionalista. El arte visual producido por la OSPAAAL permitió a Cuba promover una interpretación particular de la Guerra Fría como la continuación del colonialismo en la búsqueda de conseguir el respaldo transnacional para las luchas de liberación nacional en el Medio Oriente y África, así como para promover a la propia revolución cubana. En particular, se, la forma en que se ha utilizado el enfoque visual del equipo gráfico de OSPAAAL en el momento de cruzarse con otras estrategias de activismo solidario transnacional cuyos objetivos eran la promoción entre miembros lejanos de ideales revolucionarios y de puntos en común y, por otro lado, como esta producción gráfica ha influido en los programas de cooperación internacional de las Naciones Unidas y, asimismo, en la representación del perfil Castro en el seno del Movimiento de Países No Alineados.

This issue tackles two central concerns surrounding the reconfiguration of formerly activism in recent Latin American history. It considers the political transformation of former activists and the networks and routes used to transform themselves, through the notion of reconversion, and their relationship to shifting access to the state. It also uses case studies to reflect on the reconfiguration of activism in societies that have undergone substantial neoliberal reforms. As individual activists move from volunteering or voluntary political association (such as activism in political parties, local community organizations, various types of social movements and organizations) to professional political activity, this issue argues that they must inherently go through a process of adaptation. An empirical analysis of these conversions captures more nuanced and profound changes regarding the place of activism in Latin American societies in recent decades, the opening of new spaces for the "left" and for emerging social movements, and the partisan reorganization of actors from various political and social groups. ; Ce numéro propose une étude pluridisciplinaire des trajectoires militantes et organisationnelles des reconversions en Amérique latine.

Abstract
From its beginning, the Organisation of Solidarity of the Peoples of Africa, Asia, and Latin America (ospaaal) used its print media to campaign on behalf of Palestinian nationalism, articulating the concerns of displaced Palestinians from a perspective of unrecognised and thwarted national liberation movements. This organisation, responsible for carrying out the activities of the Tricontinental group that began meeting in Havana in 1966, identified the issue of Palestinian statelessness as a key feature of ongoing colonialism. From this perspective, ospaaal developed a platform from which to articulate solidarity against ongoing imperialism, one which could be usefully extended to explain and render solidarity with other causes. We argue that ospaaal's visual and narrative framework, extended to the anti-colonial advocacy first for Dhofar (from the late 1960s to middle of the 1970s) and later for Western Sahara (late 1970s to 1990), presented a powerful, though limited, critique of international governance institutions from the Global South. Tricontinental publications' reporting and solidarity media, in framing statelessness as an inherent problem of an incomplete process of decolonisation, critiqued the rhetorical strategies employed by imperial powers to maintain colonial relationships through international organisations like the United Nations.
