Читать книгу Che Guevara Talks to Young People - Ernesto Che Guevara - Страница 6

All the speeches have appeared previously in Spanish in Cuba, either in Revolución, the newspaper of the 26 July Movement, Granma, the organ of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Cuba, or in collections of works by Ernesto Che Guevara.

Four of the talks by Guevara were published here for the first time in English: the speech at the Central University of Las Villas; the March 1960 speech at the University of Havana; the farewell to the international volunteer work brigades; and the speech to the seminar on “Youth and the Revolution”. Two others – the speech at the opening session of the First Latin American Youth Congress, and the talk to the International Meeting of Architecture Students – were published in English translation in the 1960s but have long been out of print. The remaining two – the talk to medical students and health workers, and the speech on the second anniversary of the unification of the youth organisations, appeared in Che Guevara and the Cuban Revolution published by Pathfinder Press in 1987.

The October 1997 speech by Cuban president Fidel Castro was published in Granma, and by the Militant newspaper in the United States.
