This paper discusses the two most revisited experiences of transition to socialism in the Latin American twentieth century: the Cuban Revolution and the Chilean Popular Unity government. To contrast Cuban and Chilean leftist conceptions of that period, we analyzed how the cultural magazines Casa de las Américas and La Quinta Rueda represented the agenda of the left. Based on these sources, we will discuss each government's cultural policies, the intellectual debates, the exchanges, and conflicts between the two revolutionary processes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Though rural Protestant missionaries stationed in Cuba routinely reproduced Anglo-American epistemologies and values, often in the service of US corporations, they also worked alongside their parishioners to challenge state and economic violence, as well as break the cyclical nature of Cuban poverty. Shared struggle with Cubans against Fulgencio Batista’s dictatorship proved transformative for many rural missionaries who, in the late 1950s, developed a revolutionary consciousness born through transnational solidarity. Missionaries challenged the dominant narrative coming from the US government and foreign corporations, as the Revolution pursued an increasingly anti-imperial and anti-capitalist agenda after Batista entered exile. While corporate executives and government officials from North America and Europe feared the new government, rural missionaries, often funded by these same corporations, defended the structural changes taking place after 1959. Through oral history and archival research, this article exposes how Cuban Protestants proved particularly influential in shaping the lens by which foreign missionaries came to understand, appreciate, and ultimately support the Cuban Revolution.

The editorial discusses urban planning in the Americas during the Cold War, highlighting the shift from European to US-American planners in Latin America after 1945. It explores the transnational entanglements and transfers in planning histories, focusing on the planning and design of urban spaces. The article also delves into the challenges faced by planners, such as urban growth, social inequality, and the influence of bloc confrontation between the USA and the Soviet Union. The special issue aims to critically examine inter-American entanglements in urban planning during the Cold War, emphasizing the fluidity of paradigms and the mutual influences and exchanges that occurred.

In 1959 the triumph of the Cuban Revolution undoubtedly marked a watershed for the history of Latin America and also for the International Communist Movement. The particularities of the process led by Fidel Castro would also inspire new reflections on the characteristics of the Revolution in our continent, and not only in it, and the ways to achieve it. In this sense, the debate about the revolutionary "way" came to occupy a preponderant place in the agendas of the revolutionary parties. The objective of this paper is to reconstruct the reception of the Revolution led by Fidel Castro in the PC of Chile taking under account the communist militant subectivity and the articulation with local political parties.

A implantação do ateísmo estatal seguiu ao longo da década de 1980. Não obstante esse dado, esse período é comumente reconhecido como um momento de diálogo entre a Igreja Católica e o Estado socialista até sua segunda metade. A partir de então, a instituição religiosa passa à ofensiva acreditando que o regime insular seguisse o mesmo percurso de queda pela qual passava o leste europeu. Nessa segunda parte desse artigo, tratamos dessa década com atenção especial ao Encontro Nacional Eclesial Cubano (ENEC), que entendemos ser o mais importante evento do catolicismo
