In Redeemers, acclaimed historian Enrique Krauze presents the major ideas that have formed the modern Latin American political mind during the late nineteenth and twentieth centuriesand looks closely at how these ideas were expressed in the lives of influential revolutionaries, thinkers, poets, and novelists. Here are the Cuban Jose Marti; the Argentines Che Guevara and Evita Peron; political thinkers like Mexicos Jose Vasconcelos; and the writers Jose Enrique Rodo, Mario Vargas Llosa, Octavio Paz, and Gabriel Garcia Marquez. Redeemers also highlights Mexicos Samuel Ruiz and Subcomandante Marcos, as well as Venezuelas president Hugo Chavez, and their influence on contemporary Latin America.In his brilliant, deeply researched history, Enrique Krauze uses the range of these extraordinary lives to illuminate the struggle that has defined Latin American history: an ever-precarious balance between the ideal of democracy and the temptation of political messianism.
