In a work centred on Marx's harsh biography of Simón Bolívar, José Aricó examines why Latin America was apparently 'excluded' from Marx's thought, challenging the allegation that this expressed some 'Eurocentric' prejudice. Aricó shows how the German thinker's hostility towards the Bonapartism and authoritarianism he identified in the Liberator coloured his attitude towards the continent and the significance of its independence-processes. Whilst criticising Marx's misreading of Latin-American realities, Aricó demonstrates contemporaneous, countervailing tendencies in Marx's thought, including his appraisal of the revolutionary potentialities of other 'peripheral' extra-European societies. As such, Aricó convincingly argues that Marx's work was not a dogma of linear 'progress', but a living, contradictory body of thought constantly in development. English translation of the Marx y América Latina edition, Fondo de Cultura Económica, 2010.

"El eje del criterio valorativo del libro reside en considerar que ser marxista en América Latina es ser marxista-leninista orgánico, diferenciado de cualquier otra posición que pueda recibir la calificación de 'marxista.' En función de ello se juzgan todas las formas de antimarxismo, con las características polémicas previsibles, y los antecedentes del marxismo-leninismo que se han dado en la historia de la región. El último capítulo está dedicado a la Revolución Cubana, la cual es vista desde los fundamentos señalados. Para el tema de la filosofía latinoamericana destacamos el parágrafo: 'Por Qué y Para Qué Filosofar en América Latina.'"--Handbook of Latin American Studies, v. 58.
