Che: Man, Myth, and Legacy

In the years since, Guevara has adorned student bedroom walls the world over, inspired many a student revolutionary, and provided the essential political backdrop for the unstoppable rise of the Tooting Popular Front (ask your parents).

But who was Che Guevara? In life, and in death, he remains a controversial figure, with opinions differing as to who he was, what he represented, and his long term legacy.

On Monday 9 October, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Che's death, the UCL Institute of the Americas is organising an evening seminar, bringing together experts from a range of academic disciplines to explore the many facets of his extraordinary life and legacy.

The event is selling out quickly, so please be sure to book ahead to avoid disappointment.
