Latin American Revolutionaries and the Arab World

Recounting recent encounters between Latin American and Arab countries this unique volume explores how, despite both geographical and cultural distances, Latin American revolutionaries constructed an image of the Arab World as one sharing their own political views and interests. From the nationalization of the Suez Canal to Latin American perspectives on the Arab Spring, Federico Vélez offers a fascinating historical and contemporary analysis on the behaviour of actors on the periphery of the international system.
