Lindsey Churchill is Assistant Professor of History at the University of Central Oklahoma.
"[A] welcome addition to the small number of English-language
historical works on Uruguay. . . . Becoming the Tupamaros is an
important and valuable contribution to the literature on Uruguayan
history, guerrilla warfare, and the gender and racial politics of
the Latin American Left in the 1960s and 1970s. It also makes a
very important contribution to breaking down the walls between
studies of radical politics in the U.S. and Latin America,
reminding us that this generation of revolutionaries was well aware
of each other and to some extent fashioned their own politics and
performance in each other's reflections."
--American Historical Review
"Churchill provides a compelling analysis of the Tupamaros' role in
transnational solidarity networks, as well as gender dynamics
within the guerrilla group. [...] A useful study for understanding
early 1970s radical movements. [...] Recommended. All
levels/libraries."
--Choice
"With the Cold War 20 years behind us, Churchill's work represents
a new approach, examining the Tupamaros in terms of local issues
and local culture, and places it in an international context that
looks beyond the Cold War conflict, placing the Tupamaros in
broader, international leftist and social movements."
--Theron Corse, author of Protestants, Revolution, and the
Cuba-U.S. Bond
