Abstract

The article follows the trajectory of the Latin American Labor Confederation, founded in 1938 and dissolved in 1963. It is also the trajectory of a fragment of Vicente Lombardo Toledano’s life (1894-1968), which he had no interest to divulge. This silenced history reveals Lombardo Toledano’s behind the scenes activities, carried out on behalf of the labor movement in the Western hemisphere. The article explores the phenomena that brought about the dissolution of the confederation, examined against the background of the cold war and the Cuban revolution.
