ALEIDA GUEVARA, daughter of the Argentinian-Cuban revolutionary leader Ernesto “Che” Guevara, will be speaking at various events across Britain.
Aleida is a doctor of medicine and director of the Che Guevara Studies Centre, Havana — a Cuban institution that keeps the personal archives of her father, and promotes his life, work and thought. She has also worked as a paediatrician in Angola, Ecuador and Nicaragua, and is author of the 2006 book Chavez, Venezuela and the New Latin America.
Writing ahead of her visit, she said: “Do I have hope for humanity? None of us has a crystal ball, but if we want a different world, we need to work to achieve it. We can’t wait for it to fall out of the sky. We have a duty to forge that future ourselves.”
