As Armistice Day approaches, with the far right hoping to use it to promote their own form of ‘patriotism,’ NICK WRIGHT considers the nature of conflicts in the 20th and 21st centuries and the different ways they should be remembered
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.”
