(Neo)colonialismo y descolonialización : abordajes desde la revista Pensamiento Crítico

Abstract

This article explores some thoughts on Pensamiento Crítico, a Cuban publication active from 1967 to 1971. Despite its short-lived existence, it significantly impacted the so-called Latin-American critical thought by approximating Marxism to the revolutionary process. This renovation lead to the issuing of essential texts within three major subjects: 1) the decolonization of the world; 2) the exchange of ideas between “Western” Marxism and Latin-American Marxisms; and 3) a liberating (Socialist and Decolonizing) approach to the history of Cuba. The author focuses on a collection of texts articulating concerns over a global phenomenon prevailing during several decades of the 20th century: the confrontation brought about by the (Neo)colonial process, together with the set of decolonization practices from Asia, Africa and even the United States.
