A NEW PUBLISHING PROJECT OF THE WORKS OF CHE GUEVARA
Coinciding with the 35th anniversary of the death of Ernesto Che Guevara
a major publishing program has been announced by Ocean Press, Australia,
and the Che Guevara Studies Center, Havana. This project will prepare
Che's complete writings for publication in a large number of thematic
and other collections.
It will include a substantial number of previously unpublished works by
Che Guevara - such as his much speculated about "Critical Notes on
Political Economy" - and others that were only sporadically published in
the 1960s and 1970s. The series will ultimately include no less than 17
separate volumes and will be the most complete library of Che's work
ever to be published.
All these titles will be published by Ocean Press in English-language
and Spanish-language editions. Ocean Press, which holds world rights to
the titles, has begun work with publishing houses on all continents to
prepare editions of these books in many languages.
The objective of the series is to disseminate Che's works and ideas in a
way that, according to the Che Guevara Studies Center, will allow those
young activists "who see Che's life and actions as a model to understand
his many facets, study his ideas and, in this way, recognize his
legacy."
The Havana-based Center also stresses that while providing a unique and
invaluable resource to scholars and researchers, "this series - by
presenting Che in his own words - will contribute to a better
understanding of Che's thought, allowing the reader to delve into his
cultural depth, his incisiveness, his irony, his passion and his astute
observations - that is to say, the living Che."
The Che Guevara Studies Center is the institution established to
promote, both inside and outside of Cuba, the thought, life and works of
Ernesto Che Guevara, recognizing the extraordinary significance of his
theory, praxis and ethical legacy - and their validity and timeliness in
today's globalized world. The Center is located in the house where Che
lived with his family from 1962 until his final departure from Cuba. The
director of the Center is Aleida March.
Ocean Press is an independent, Australian-based book publisher with
offices in the United States and Cuba. Ocean Press has already published
a significant number of books on or by Che Guevara. These include
