'With remarkable research findings, this book offers a compelling and revelatory history of North Korea and Latin America in the age of anti-imperial revolutions.  North Korea, Tricontinentalism, and the Latin America Revolution is absolutely essential reading on the Third World and decolonization in the twentieth century.' Monica Kim, author of The Interrogation Rooms of the Korean War: The Untold History 'Moe Taylor has produced an original study on a significant anti-capital struggle largely forgotten about today: the moment Tricontinentalism was spearheaded by the small but inspirational revolutionary countries of North Korea and Cuba. Taylor's book is an essential addition to the history of global socialism and an important source on how to overcome the current capitalist condition.' Cheehyung Harrison Kim, University of Hawai'i at Mānoa '… this study excels in its emphasis on decades of research conducted by intellectuals, activists, and diplomatic practitioners of the Hispanophone world, a much-needed perspective that Taylor brings to the field of Korean studies. This is a key monograph for those interested in gaining additional perspective on North Korean foreign relations. It is also especially useful for scholars and students interested in better understanding the multiplicity of views taken up by the global Left in the twentieth century.' Eilin R. Pérez, Hispanic American Historical Review 'Taylor's book is undeniably valuable in shedding light on heretofore underappreciated South-South connections and bridging the gap between regions, literatures, and languages.' Mark Petersen, American Historical Review
