Che Guevara Studies Center

Che Guevara Study Center aims restore Che as more than an icon on a T-shirt or poster. The Center seeks to illuminate his cultural depth, political incisiveness, irony and passion.
The Che Guevara Studies Center of Havana, Cuba, was established to promote, both inside and beyond the island, the thought, life and works of Comandante Ernesto Che Guevara, recognizing the extraordinary significance of his theory, praxis and ethical legacy – and their validity and timeliness in today's globalized world.

The Center is located in the house where Che lived with his family from 1962 until his final departure from Cuba. The director of the Che Guevara Studies Center is Aleida March (Che's wife) and is operated by her son Camilo Guevara (pictured below).

In 2002, a series of books was launched by Ocean Press and the Che Guevara Studies Center, with the objective of disseminating the works and ideas of Ernesto Che Guevara – this most contemporary of radical role models.

Although perhaps best known as a guerrilla fighter, this multi-volume series will show Che Guevara as a profound thinker with a radical world view that still strikes a chord with young rebels in every country today. Eager readers will be introduced to Che the political economist and philosopher, Che the revolutionary humanist. Books are available from Ocean Books.

Dr. Aleida Guevara, daughter of the Argentine born Commander of the Cuban Revolution, explains an important part of the Center's work will be to ensure Che's name and image cease to be used for unauthorized commercial purposes.
