Guevara in memoriam: A Distant and Intense Fire

Abstract

The paper aims to shed light on an intense period of Argentina’s history that took place between the 60s and 70s. The proscription of Peronism and the succession of authoritarian regimes in power, among other factors, led to a phenomenon of radicalization and violence in politics in the country. The author tries to prove that during this period, Che’s ideas about Latin America were taken up and reworked by the theories of dependency; and also that both had a significant impact on large sectors of Peronism, on youth sectors and / or recently incorporated into politics, and even on non-Peronist sectors that became Peronist and radicals.
