This book argues that the overlooked ideas of Jose Marti and Ernesto 'Che' Guevara explain recent politics in Latin America and the Caribbean but also, even more significantly, offer a defensible alternative direction for global development ethics.The difference between European and Latin American philosophy, some argue, is that Europeans have only ever had to rule the world whereas Latin Americans have always had to change it. This difference remains relevant. Currently, Latin America and the Caribbean make up what is arguably one of the most dynamic regions in the world, challenging the consensus put forth by neo-liberalism and even liberalism. Nonetheless, the region's philosophical traditions are mostly unknown in the English-speaking world. This book argues that, not only are the ideas of Jose Marti and Che Guevara key to identifying false ideas about liberty and democracy, which concerned Simon Bolivar two centuries ago-they are also relevant to modern worries about alienation and meaninglessness. Marti said famously that 'trenches of ideas' are more powerful than weapons. Those pursuing global justice can benefit from exposure to vital debates about such fundamental philosophical questions, motivated by expectations for real human emancipation, by such thinkers of the South-thinkers motivated by a desire for political, economic and intellectual independence.

520 1 $a The battle for ideas has marked Susan Babbitt's work for decades. In this book, Babbitt challenges received views of Cuba and of philosophy. She demands that readers imagine new ways of living well together. In service of this vision, Babbitt presents the richness of philosophical ideas in the largely ignored works of Jose Marti and Ernesto 'Che' Guevara and then puts these ideas to work in a powerful critique of standard liberal assumptions about what it means to flourish as a human being. The book is a must read for philosophers, political theorists, and development ethicists who would like to challenge or expand their conceptions of Cuba - as well as the meaning of freedom, democracy, human rights, liberalism, capitalism, Marxism, 'developed', and 'developing'.' - Christine Koggel, Carleton University, Canada.
