Online Conference
4th and 5th April 2022
4pm-8pm
Keynote Address: Mike Gatehouse
Plenary Address: Dr Marieke Riethof
Solidarity with revolutionary movements in Latin America has been a mobilising force throughout the post-war period, with Western progressives drawing inspiration from anticolonial and left-wing struggles in the global south. Since the 1970s, many solidarity groups have transitioned from a broadly Marxist and anti-imperialist agenda to a human rights platform. In more recent years, movements have navigated a complex landscape of the rise and decline of progressive governments that focused on poverty reduction.
Some of the new generations of solidarity groups assumed openly partisan stances, while others staked out more critical positions, particularly against the extractive model of development. At the same time, a new wave of feminist internationalism, often strongly rooted in Latin American mobilisations, has swept the globe. The conference therefore seeks to reassess the history, legacy and continuing relevance of Latin American solidarity, by examining its development from the 1960s to the present.
