About the Author
Adolfo Gilly was born in Buenos Aires in 1928. A Trotskyist since his youth, immersed in the workers' movement, he worked in Bolivia for the Fourth International and Marcha, a leading Latin American political and cultural weekly. In Italy in 1960-62 he witnessed the beginnings of the autonomia movement. He reported from Cuba for Monthly Review and travelled with leftist guerrillas in Guatemala. In 1966 he was arrested in Mexico and spent six years in Lecumberri Prison, where he produced La revolucion interrumpida (in English, The Mexican Revolution). On his release he was deported to France, returning in 1976 when he secured a teaching job at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. He has lived in Mexico ever since.
