In this wonderfully esoteric yet very important episode of Guerrilla History, we bring on Alejandro Pedregal to discuss his marvelous co-authored historical article The Early Socio-ecological Dimensions of Tricontinental (1967–1971) : A Sovereign Social Metabolism for the Third World.  This piece was published in one of our favorite journals, a resource that you really should all be utilizing, Agrarian South: Journal of Political Economy.  In this discussion, we talk about OSPAAAL, the Cuban Third World solidarity institution and in particular its magazine Tricontinental, the way it framed sovereignty and the implicit ecological messaging within.  A fascinating conversation, and one which we think you will find a lot of use in! Alejandro Pedregal is a Research Council of Finland Fellow, and is based at Aalto University.  You can keep up to date with Alejandro's work by checking out his institutional page from Aalto University, and by following him on twitter @AlejoPedregal Help support the show by signing up to our patreon, where you also will get bonus content: https://www.patreon.com/guerrillahistory
