This presentation investigates the discourses produced by the radical left in the Maghreb and Latin America. Drawing on publications from Morocco, Tunisia, and Uruguay we analyse two main discursive dimensions: Mutual coverage, exploring representations that actors had of each other, and global level issues, focused on a topic of great significance to the left, the Vietnam War. We assess production contexts in a comparative fashion to highlight recurrences, similarities and differences in imaginaries, practices and theoretical frames. We hope this hints at a need for more complex explorations of the “Global” character of the radical left in the Long 1960s.
