比森特·罗维塔与原生书店——试论冷战时期毛泽东思想在拉丁美洲的传播

Vicente Rovetta and His “Native Books”——the Diffusion of Maoism in Latin America during the Cold War

20世纪六七十年代,全球传播的毛泽东思想也影响到了拉丁美洲。在此期间,乌拉圭毛派成员比森特·罗维塔（Vicente Rovetta）与其经营的原生书店（Nativa Libros）,通过与中国国际书店的合作,开始向乌拉圭进口毛泽东著作以及反映中国国情的书籍,并逐步将这些书籍转运发行到其他拉丁美洲国家。这种合作关系的建立带有不谋而合的意味,与当时中国的外交处境以及拉丁美洲左派的革命理论需求息息相关。大量中国书籍在拉丁美洲的传播使得更多的拉美左派能够方便地阅读到他们当时所需求的革命指导理论,并对之后拉美毛派运动的发展产生了深远的影响。

In the 1960 s and 1970 s,Mao Zedong Thought spread around the world and arrived in Latin America. The Uruguayan Maoist Vicente Rovetta and his Native Books cooperated with the China International Bookstore and imported works of Mao Zedong and books about China,gradually transferring these books to other Latin American countries. The establishment of such a partnership was not by accident. The most important backgrounds were the diplomatic situation of China and the theoretical needs of Latin American leftist revolutionaries. The spread of a large number of Chinese books in Latin America made it easier for Latin American leftists to get access to a revolutionary theory that they needed at the time. These books would also have a profound impact on a Maoist movement in the decades to come.
