The key question driving Utopia and the Dialectic in Latin American Liberation is this: '[a]re there living threads which connect a concept of utopia found in many of today's Latin American movements and the dialectic as found in Hegel, created anew in Marx, and by others?' (4). In Parts 1 and 2 of the volume, Eugene Gogol approaches this question directly: first, he unveils 'certain concepts of dialectical thought [...] that can aid us in grasping the dialectic in Hegel as in life' (28); second, he looks for 'strands of the dialectic as they emerge from within Latin America itself' (4). The result is impressive. In clear and unhurried prose, Gogol offers an erudite exploration of some complex theoretical ground, and then deftly applies it to a few instances of popular rebellion in the region. Eduardo Frajman, Marx PHIlosoph, 27 July 2016
