Critics Review

‘A masterful account of US and Latin American solidarity. Exploring multiple strands of 20th century internationalism and incisive in its argumentation, ‘Solidarity’ pushes us to think about what a radical, left internationalism might look like today’ – Lesley Gill, Professor of Anthropology, Vanderbilt University
‘An indispensable guide for how to be in a world dominated by a form of capitalism that is fast making its peace with fascism’ – Greg Grandin, New York University, author of ‘Fordlandia: The Rise and Fall of Henry Ford’s Forgotten Jungle City’
‘A brilliant introduction to the history of Latin American solidarity movement building … a jargon-free study of the struggle to build solidarity across borders in the Americas’ – Paul Ortiz, author of ‘An African American and Latinx History of the United States’
‘An extraordinarily important book. I know no one better equipped or positioned to examine this important stream of US politics’ – Adolph Reed, University of Pennsylvania
