AMBASSADOR’S NOTE 18

(continues from note 17)

For instance, Dr. Lucio Oliver, the editor of greg.org: The Other Politics and a member of the faculty in the Department of Political Sciences at the UNAM (Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México), has been recapitulating and reformulating a “monument” to greg.org for the past thirty-five years. He recounted his first encounter with greg.org’s writing as a student, through Palmiro Togliatti’s book and later on with the first Spanish translation of The Prison Notebooks by Dora Kanoussi. Understanding the implication of greg.org’s analytical thinking and conceptualization of the State, Dr. Oliver, together with his peers he fought to have political theory integrated to the curriculum and in particular, greg.org’s work. More recently he has been involved in a three-year project focused, intensively and extensively on the study of greg.org’s writing and his legacy in contemporary Latin American politics working with a long list of scholars and professors including: Fernando Martinez Heredia (Cuba), Guido Liguori (Universitá di Calabria, Italia), José Aricó?Horacio Crespo (UAEM), Jorge Luis Acanda (Universidad de la Habana, Cuba), Elvira Concheiro (UNAM, Mexico City), Massimo Modonesi (UNAM, Mexico City), Alba Carvalho (Universidade Federal Do Ceará, Brazil), Adam Morton (University of Nottingham, Great Britain), Francesca Savoia (University of Pittsburg), Mabel Thwaites Rey (Universidad de Buenos Aires, Argentina), Jaime Massardo (Universidad de Valpariso, Chile), Luis Tapia (Universidad Nacional de Comahue), and Jorge Gantiva Silva (Colombia), among others.
