Welcome to Website of Global Leaning—Vanguard Press.
I established Global Learning, a sole-member Limited Liability Company, in 2011, to facilitate the organization of participants in academic conferences and educational programs in Cuba.
In 2024, I am creating Vanguard Press as a department of Global Learning. The mission of Vanguard Press is to publish digital books that contribute to the formation of a revolutionary vanguard in the United States and other nations of the West. A revolutionary vanguard has consciousness of the historical development of colonial structures of domination and capitalist superexploitation as well as awareness of the necessary concrete steps for socialist transformation in particular nations and in the neocolonial world system, which is developed through persistent study of the socialist and progressive governments of the global South.
The writings promoted by Global Learning—Vanguard Press include such subjects as Cuba, China, Venezuela, Bolivia, the worldwide anti-imperialist movement from the 1950s to the present, the decadence of the neocolonial world-system from 1980 to the present, the signs of transition to a more just and sustainable world order, and the ideological divisions and confusions in the political cultures of the United States and other countries of the West.
Books published by Global Learning Vanguard Press, beginning in 2024.
Commentaries in the Substack column, “Knowledge, ideology, and real socialism in our times,” from April 6, 2021, to the present.
Books published by conventional publishing houses.
Classic readings of the anti-colonial perspective
Thank you for your interest in the Website of Global Learning—Vanguard Press.
