Interviews from Mexico, hosted by Laura Carlsen, goes straight to the source -- the men and women making news and making history in Mexico and throughout the region. Today our host interviews Jorge Veraza about his new book “Rethinking Marxism in Latin America Today.” The discussion revolves around a series of questions. What does Marxism have to offer us today. If Marx were to analyze our world today, what would the major surprises be? What elements of Marxism have best stood the test of time? What’s distinctive about the Latin American region? What are the main contributions of today’s progressive movements and governments on the continent? Does their upsurge mean that the United States is losing its grip on Latin America? What is Mexico’s role in the region? Can Marxism help us understand our 21st century reality? Can it help us change it? teleSUR
